Default How to clean the inside of stock WS6 rims?

I have my Ws6 rims polished up nicely, brand new Baer Eradispeed Drilled/Slotted rotors, freshly painted calipers, BUT the inside of my WS6 rim is dirtier than a Chinese *****, and no amount of scrubbing or blasting with the pressure washer seems to restore them to the nice clean metal. What sort of chemical do I need to accomplish this? Will paint thinner hurt my clearcoat?

MR. Clean Majic eraser thats made for wheels and tires, its got a pictore of a ttII on it 4 pads in 1 box, only a few bucks at target (thats where i find mine) just get them wet and wipe, also i guess you could use some rim cleaner, let it soak for a minuet then use the eraser, works amazing, i just did the insides of my stock rims its a 98 with 100k and it took no effort at all

get some heavy duty brake dust/wheel cleaner. it doesnt have to be the most gentle kind, since its the inside of the rim. hit up your local parts store, autozone, etc, and see if you can find a heavy duty cleaner. soak the hell out of the inside, and use a tire brush or some kind of rough pad/brush, and see what you can do. if its a real heavy duty cleaner, id try to keep it off your freshly polished outsides.
