Default Cleaning/Polishing Greg Weld fronts

My front wheels sat in the garage all winter covered in brake dust, and now they look like hell. I washed them, then use some polish to try and clean them up but its not working to great. The back side of the wheel has black spots all over and the front has little dull looking nicks all over the place. How do I get rid of this, it really makes the wheel look like ****.

i use Flitz Pre-clean spray! the stuff works great! spray it on let it soak in for 30 seconds and scrub off with a microfiber towel and it gets most of the brake dust and heavy oxidation off! then i recomend spraying the wheel with water just to make sure u rinse off all the chemicals... then polish your wheel... i have been having good luck with mothers billet polish! hope this helps!

Wax after you polish for an easier clean up next time.

Agreed. I am looking for a good one now.

I used Mother's Billet Polish (not cheap) but works AMAZING!
