All, I've had race pads on the car for about two months now and the front wheels are in need of a serious cleaning. Can anyone recommend a cleaner (foam type) that I can spray on (yes, I am the laziest man alive) and let sit for a while then try to scrape the brake dust/track debris/small animals off the rim ?

 

I find like Mother's All Wheel cleaner followed by Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner.

If its really stuck in you might need a diluted acid based cleaner like Meguier's Wheel Brightener.

Try searching the Wash and Wax forum.

 

thx, i'll be pulling these off to put the winter wheels on so I'll clean them while off the car. Yeah, they were/are the Hawk Blue 9012's
