Dirty dirty rims

Anybody have a favorite product that they use to clean their dirty, brake-dust encrusted rims?

Castorl Syntec is good.... and so is Eagle 1 Rim Cleaner...but whut ever you use, Elbow Grease is the main thing. You can also try a mild scrubbing pad.

Get metallic brakes. Brake dust sheilds also help.

I think PopaPork meant Castrol Super Clean. That stuff is wicked, but don't use it on aluminum rims. It eats away aluminum in no time flat.
