Default Need Brake Dust Cleaner

Hi,
Just got some new rims (Cup II) and need to clean some SERIOUS brake dust off of them. This is the caked on variety of track car brake dust. What products do you guys use? Thanks in advance.

I like to punch a hole in the atomosphere with Brakleen.

I use Wurth Wheel Cleaner -- it works well, but I've never had to use it on anything quite as severe as you're talking about...

Sounds like you need a chisel and hammer.
I've used something ArmorAll makes- works a champ on both my cars. It would probably take that and some elbow grease.

Oh I've got some stuff that would take care of that... but it eats concrete too. How bad is it? As in, post a pic for the inquiring minds!
