Default To be honest, brake dust can be horrendous

The only way I have found to really 'restore' my wheels was to get some wheel brightener from Meg's. It is honestly the only way to go, you can also get some concrete etching products, but they are way more dangerous. However, it's all acid, and it does get the job done.

1. The process I used, was Megs WB 2:1 (I think I can go even more of a dilution)
2. Spray on to rim and inside of rim, let stand for 10 seconds, brush with firm firm synthetic brush. (think something you might scrub the toilet with)
3. spray away acid after 30 seconds to 1 minute of agitation.
4. Break out your used clay from adams (the grey stuff) and rub the 'SH*t' out of your rim to remove the most pitted dust you can.
5. Re-apply WB and stiff brush.
6. repeat on all sections till everything is gone, I have gotten it down to about 30 minutes a wheel. first time, took me 1 hr + per wheel.

I have only done three, I don't think the megs stuff is going to be strong enough, so just buy WB.
