Is there some kind of wheel scrub?

My wheels have baked on road particles or something of that sort. I've tried a dregreaser but that didnt work. Is there any product made to "scrub" the wheels clean?

You can use Simple Green for the really stuck on stuff. Eagle One wheel cleaner spray is also decent for removing brake dust without alot of work...but it doesn't last long.

Just spray some Simple Green on and let it soak for 30 seconds. If that doesn't work, try again and let it sit longer.

I used a 3m Degreaser. I did use aluminum polish to polish some out - but that would take a very long time to do. I have some simple green, I'll try that.

Use a 20/80 Simple Green/water solution, in that order. If that doens't cut through the grime, then increase the percentage of Simple Green in your solution. It's also important to use a wheel scrub brush. If Simple Green doesn't end up doing well enough, then look into Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner or even Orange Blast. Use a low concentration of the cleaners first when mixed with water, and increase when needed.
