RE: Wheel Cleaner

["Chadwick, John/COR/INV" <jchadwic@ch2m.com>]

Just DO NOT buy the Turtle Wax brake dust cleaner. The one that comes in two
containers. I used that once and if royally f***ed up my wheels. I now have
dark stains on my wheels that I can't get off (I'm married, that's why. I
know what you were thinking!) Anyone know how I can get this stuff off? I've
used Simple Green and it's still on a couple of the wheels. Any thoughts?

Try the 3M wheel cleaner.  I buy it and cut it in half with water and it
works wonders.  Safe on all the wheels I have used it on so far.  It even
gets the dust off of my track wheels.
