Wait, does this work on the factory painted 15" RS rims too?
I have the white factory painted 15" 5 spokes on my car, and I want to try this, but wouldn't it strip the paint too?
I have alot of nasty brake dust and nasty crap on my rims, and nothing will get it all off, I am willing to try this only if it wont harm the paint.

I have white rims.. A total and COMPLETE pain in the *** to keep clean. I thought I would have to re-powercoat them because they were stained or something.
But I found a good cleaner at autozone, MAG cleaner by Eagle 1. It's made for alloy wheels, but it does a DAMN good job of cleaning my clearcoat wheels. They look amazing now.

1. How do I polish them? Do I need a buffer or can I polish by hand.
2. Yes it will remove the paint.
3. I bought the stripper from Auto Zone. Pep Boys has it also.
4. I combined the stripper with Eagle Alloy wheel cleaner and a large wire brush.
