I used a Meguiars clay bar on my Vette wheels. They were covered in metal from the metal to metal on the brakes. When I got done they looked new.

Zymol wheel cleaner and two coats of "WheelWax". Use the clay bar and lube if necessary between coats of wheelwax. Brake dust removes very easy after applied.

I used Mr Clean sponge this week end. I had polished the wheels last time so they came out looking good.
