Do to my on fault this winter my polished zr1's built up a lil' bit of brake dust on them. I did a couple searchs and saw that some simple green and some 0000 steel wool would clean them up. i just worry that the steel wool is gonna scratch them up. Is it safe to use the steel wool and simple green if diluted with water. Is there any other method of cleaning them? thanx for any help.

I say no on the steel wool on polished wheels, get some mothers and a power ball and polish it off.

I used some spray that I picked up a Walmart. Its a Teflon product, just spray on and hose off. I sprayed it on and then took a wheel and tire brush to it, then hosed it off. Cleaned them up really good. Then I buffed with mothers.

not just no, but HELL no on the steel wool. don't even use a scotch-brite pad on polished wheels.

just use the diluted simple green and a SOFT sponge to get the dust off, then powerball/aluminum polish to bring back the shine.

just don't leave the simple green on for more than 5 - 6 mins, or it can start to corrode the wheels and pit them.
