Re: rims

If the dust is baked-in, I'd suggest scuffing then re-painting.

Re: rims

You can try to go to a company that has deisel trucks. If they clean their trucks they will have something for you. Ask them if you can give them a few bucks to clean the rims. They will have some acid that will clean the shiit out of the pours of the chrome. After wards polish them and keep them clean. On chrome rims You should only do this when You have the "brake dust baked on". Its safe as long as you spray the acid off as soon as it turns white and dont continuously do it.
