Wheel clean
Anybody knows of a good wheel cleaner? Ive tried a bunch so far and still have these spots on my wheels. I know theres a bunch of people here with JDM ITR wheels and this is pretty common. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Wheel clean
The insides of the spokes have a rough white finish. As I recall, I took a heavily soaped/wet steel wool pad(blue) and lightly scrubbed the inner spokes, cleaned everything off and didn't scratch at the paint.
I'd test a small section first, i can't recall if I did that on the white itr's or white work rsz-r's. Either way, both wheels were painted white, figure the stock white honda finish will hold up to a light scrubbing with some steel wool.

Re: Wheel clean
Did someone just suggest using steel wool to clean wheels...?
Steel wool will definitely scratch the paint. It's paint. Being scrubbed with steel wool. It's not steel paint.

Re: Wheel clean
They make VERY fine steel wool pads with soap like shit in them. I'm not even sure they're technically steel wool and I'm pretty positive that wouldn't scratch the paint. Granted, I'm not sure if him and I are talking about the same thing.
