Aluminum wheel clean-up
When I bought my car from the previous owner, the brakes were worn to the fins and now the metal from that has settled and began to rust on the wheels, inside and out. Is there anyway or anything that might take this crap off without totally ruining the coating on the wheels? They are already getting spider web cracks in the finish, but I don't want to make them any worse than they are. I might try some Eagle One wheel cleaner and a good scrubber. But any ideas would be accepted. TIA

They're the stock 16's. I'd hate to go through that for some factory wheels, lol. And I'd hate to have to use something really abrasive and tear the wheels up any more.

I just scrubbed the stock wheels on my 90 formula the other day i spent about 3 hours,i used greased lightning orange wheels cleaner and a sos pad.
the wheels look alot better except for the cracking in my clearcoat.

i use a product called Wesley's Bleach White to clean all of my wheels and tires. this stuff works really damn well and i would really sugest picking up a bottle to see if it might help.
