Brake dust again!

Brake dust again!
Has anyone got any tips for removing really baked on dust, the previous owner did not clean the wheels when they had the XK. I have tried all the major brands Mothers, maguires etc and all clean the wheels well but I have some really baked on stuff in some of the mag creases. Think if I can find thevrightvstuff it will only take one time to really clean them then I can protect the wheels and carry on cleaning them once a week. Any help would be great.

Haven't found anything that Wesley's Bleach white won't clean. Cleans really deeply oil stained stuff as well as bad brake dust. Hasn't harmed my wheels. Just rinse it off thoroughly.
It's in Wal Mart and just about any auto store...

Best advice is to remove the wheel and clean. Getting behind the wheel is where all the caked on dust is. In lieu of that, try using a green and yellow scotch pad sponge that is wore out with brake dust cleaner. It’s easy to get behind the wheel and the green side won’t scratch the wheel yet is strong enough to do the job.

Few people know Scotch-Brite makes a variety of pads rated at different abrasion levels.
No shop or mechanic should be without a box of Scotch-Brite red, and for expensive painted rims I would recommend the S-B Aircraft cleaner. Far less abrasive than S-B green

IMHO you should not allow muriatic acid, in any concentration, anywhere near your wheels. Your wheels are powder coated with a protective clear coat. Muriatic acid is bad news stuff and high risk as a cleaner. Among other things, it's used to etch concrete prior to paint and it will attack alloy and most anything else it comes in contact with.
