Hi guys, got a quick question. Since my rims are sitting in the garage I attempted to clean the back side of my IROC's rims. Well lets just say at first I thought that black was the color of the back of them. But upon further scrubbing, I noticed that they too are supposed to be nice and clean aluminum looking. Well I have simple green and mothers aluminum polish. Should I just keep going at it until they are done or what. Anything I can use to eat up that black crap that has been on the rims for 15 or so years??? What kind of brush or scrubber should I use? Thanks guys!!:hail:

Oh yeah here is a pic of what they look like after scubbing for like 20 mins, it's a brownish color....

Doesn't everyone do this? A plastic bristled brush (tooth brush, scrub brush, etc) with soapy water works wonders. Castrol Super Clean cut 1 part SC to 2 parts water works to cut the grease and brake dust. Be sure to stretch before you do this, you'll be hunched over for a few hours. Once they're clean just spray thru the holes and from the opposite side of the car when you wash it to keep them clean.

Thanks Drew, looks like I'll have a sore back tomorrow I guess.

I used SOS brillo pads w/water and they worked pretty good.

3000 psi pressure washer with hot water makes this about a 5 minute job.
