I need some help the rims on my car have a layer of brake dust built up on them that I cant get off at the car wash or using alcohol wipes and was wondering if you guys had any ideas I would just take and scrape it off but I dont wanna scratch the wheels to bad since its still going to be a while before I can change them out.Thanks for the help |

Steam cleaner. There is stuff at the shoppette that you can spray on. That should get it off. |

Ther is some spray on stuff you can get at the ATU . I believe it is called CR21. Itis a green spray gel that uoi pump spray on and let it soak. It works wonderful for coated rims. but it usually takes a couple of hours to penetrate on really hard stuff. Other alternative is the Full service Car wash , That stuff blast through any thing . |

Simple Green works wonders also! Just don't use anything abrasive, as you'll regret it later. |

cool guys thanks for the help I'll give it a shot although I have to admit that it was my fault for not cleaning them when I should have Also I dont pcs for like over a year still but I was wanting to research on the best way to ship my car when I leave. I thinking the best thing would be to go private but bout how much does that cost and and where do you all stand on it. |
