Default need ideas....

The inner part of my 4 wheels on my SS are very dirty. I mean they have stuff baked on them, its nasty. I think I need some sort of wire wheel to remove the corrosion. Do you have any tips or tricks to clean this with? Thanks in advance!

Are they chrome or polished aluminium either way I'd stay away from a wire wire brush id use a scotch Brite pad and some heavy duty cleaners

Definitely stay away from wire brushes get a old tooth brush and some heavy duty cleaner and degreaser

The chrome face of the wheels are ok....its the inner barrel area that's a mess. Could I use a wire wheel and some sort of spray to get it better looking?

Iron X! If it's the inside barrel use a brush and iron X. Sonax also works well

I used a wire wheel to the back part of one of my wheels and it cleaned up real nice.....but its not perfect by any means. I was thinking about applying Silver Plastidip to the area so it will give it a clean look. I took off the black plastidip so I am back to chrome now.
