Wheel Cleaner

PorscheBMW · 10-01-2006, 05:46 PM

I continue to wait patiently for my Sparkling Graphite 335i that's sitting in Germany waiting transportation to the US. I plan in making sure what happened to the wheels on my 2004 Porsche Cayenne S doesn't happen to the Bimmer. I neglected cleaning the inside of the wheels (hard to get to, especially on the front wheels where the disc brakes are bigger) now I have a lot of baked-on grime I can't get it off with regular wheel cleaner. I'm searching for something to get that stuff off of my wheels without damaging them. Anyone have any suggestions? I know I'll have to pull the wheels off to clean them, but want to make sure whatever I use isn't to caustic but it still works?

On painted wheels?

P21S Gel ... strong enough for the considerable brake dust your car will produce, gentle enough for the wheels.
