Default What do you guys use to Get stubborn Brake Dust off your rims?

I've been a little lazy lately and hadn't got time to clean my wheels. What is the BEST solution out there in autostores to get those stubborn brake dust off? I've tried to clean it with rim cleaners but only the new layer of dust came off, the Old and heavy layer is still there, Tried scrubbing with toothbrush, didn't work. Help.

simple green gets stubborn brake dust off? I read a little about it in a website, It said it's for anything. So does it harm the clearn coat on our rims? anything else?

honestly, i cant believe you started a fuc king topic to ask what people use to clean their rims, i cant stand some of the dumbest questions i have read in the integra forum....

ask your friends, put some elbow grease into it, its not hard at all, clean regularly, then you wont have to deal with it dummy....

sorry for being so negative...

I just talked to my old roomate about it. He said its an orange bottle that says Eagle One Wheel and Tire Cleaner! This stuff works like magic....just give it a try. Could be found at kragen, pep boys, autozone, etc.
