Salad Shooter won't clean

[96_V6_Fbody]

My front one's wont' come clean!! The brake dust is embedded in the paint. How do I get it off and keep it off?? I've tried clay and all kinds of wheel cleaners.

Did you try wax. Wax works good on mine. I think I also read that people use simple green too. I can't remember???

try Greased Lightnening (orange blast) full strength. let it soak, then use a brush.

Had the same problem as you are describing with brake dust that doesn't want to come off.
Last summer, I removed all of my wheels, took some 000 Steelwool to them, let them dry, and sprayed clearcoat on each rim (outside and underside of the rims). Now, just a little soap and a hose is all it takes to clean my rims like new! No more dirt or brake dust or problems ;) It also helps that I now use ceramic brake pads too [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
The clearcoat I used can be bought at any auto store for about $5.00 a can. One can did all of my rims.
