Any thoughts on Wheel Cleaner?

I have been using Mequiars and it does a good job on the outside part of the wheels but it dos not seem to take off the brake dust and rust from the disk that accumulates on the inner part of the wheels? Any sugestions?

 

couple ideas-
first the rust... the only thing that works for the rust is to drive the car and "warm-up" the brakes (apply several times, starting easy and then applying harder)- this will remove most of it.
the best trick for rust is to replace the rotors!!
look ma, no rust!

to get the inside of the wheels clean, they should be removed from the car - really!
so you want to remove them, and get them perfectly clean. then just maintain by normal cleaning (you might want to use a long handled brush to reach through the wheel openings).

 

I second what wannabe says, gotta get the jack stands out and remove the wheels..

holy clean rotors batman !!

great scott !!!

 

Thanks, but not the "Magic Bullet" that I was hoping for.

thx gower- the pic is about 3 mos old now...
i use so many diff products that i cant tell you specifics for everything, but a few of my favs:
meguiars for the shampoo (or any with good lubrication and sheeting action)
3m (i use a couple of different ones) for polish (although it hasnt been polished completely yet- but it will be prob this weekend)
zaino sandwiched with p21s (p21s applied last)
tires were zymoled last time (i think)
wheels cleaned (again, i think) eagle one
interior is vinylex or 303 on vinyl and lexol on the leather with plexus on the rear window.
the car is 3 years old and never completely clayed or swirl removed... it will finally be this weekend- only cause of some swirls i got when the dealer washed the car (i had told them not to and they messed up and did anyway).
am considering ssr gt-3s with eibachs as my next mod:

 

Wanabe, I'm fairly new to the site, but quickly found out "You da man" when it comes to a clean ride Impressive!
What rotors are you running?
