I'm not a moron. I know the obvious answers: break parts cleaner, SOAP, gas, all that kind of stuff. Well, I can NOT get the breakdust crap off my factory wheels!! I bought the car after sittin a long time. Can NOT for the life of me get the stuff off. I have tried scrubbing with SOS pads and gasoline!!! And brilliant ideas would be excellent!! Thanks.

I used a pressure washer and some heavy duty degreaser and that worked, but if it's not coming off with sos pads and gas then i dont know if that will help eiter..... [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

If you have the $... sandblast the sh*t out of them... i dunno [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] good luck with it anyway bro.<p>[ December 11, 2002: Message edited by: thebonestockkid ]

I heard somone use oven cleaner... try at your own risk.

anybody know if these things (such as sandblasting) will damamge my OEM wheels? How much damage can these things TAKE?? And thanks guys.

I bought a couple of cans of rim paint by dupli-color and painted my stock SE wheels. they came out much better than I thought it would. No more brake dust on there anymore it just wipes away like it should on new rims. by the way I used fine sandpaper to sand away the brake dust stuck on them then cleaned with degreaser before spraying them. 8 Bucks and I have shiney new rims.

Hey Maddbuck do you have any pics ??? i'd like to see that RIM job of yours cause im thinking of doing it myself. thanks

your2slow - you got mail.

would you share the pics with us too mad...., cuz my wheels are also disasterously dirty to a point that i thought i should paint them black!! , noone has tried it yet, i would give a shot @ painting da honycomb OEM wheels black! <BR>latez

I don't have anywhere to host but I sent you an email - I'll try get my webpage up and running this break and they will be on there for all to see.
