Whats the best rim cleaner?

[Freebeer187]

Ive tried a few products out there but no success. Im talking about removing the brown stains in the corner grooves on the GP torx star rims. Looking for heavy duty stuff no black magic crap.

Anyone recommend anything?

Yeah, that stuff is pretty good. If that doesn't work, try clay baring it.

simple green de-greaser with a brush works wonders

mothers powerball with the correct liquid for even harder shit to get off

That brown stuff is a stain on your wheels. I recommend using Mothers Billet Polish and then follow up with a paint polish. If that doesn't work, it's not coming off.

Wheel/rim cleaners are just for the everyday brake dust/dirt and chemicals like simple green will easily eat away at any sealant/wax you have on your wheels.

I use Meguire's Wheel Magic and a nylon brush. It removes about 90% of the brown staining. After that you will need to get a good polish to remove the rest if it is stained alot. If the staining is real bad, I have used rubbing compund. But you need to be very careful so you don't take off all the coating/paint if the wheels are painted. Chrome wheels can be cleaned using Mother Wheel polish.

Once you clean them, American Racing makes a Wheel Wax that is excellent at keeping the brake dust from collecting and staining your wheels. Once waxed, Nearly all the brake dust just rinses off with water.
