Need powerful rim cleaner

I bought a bottle of this "Hot Rims" Stuff and used the entire bottle on my 15" turbo cast rims. They are about 30-40% better now but still has baked on brake dust on there. I need something super strong with an acidic base, something that will just burn this stuff off. Any ideas?

Save your money...
After cleaning them, another spin around the block & they will be dirty... Get them bead blasted, edges polished & clear powdercoated... then they rinse clean with soap and water...
