Default What will do the trick on these?
All 4 wheels of this BMW 330 have this same baked on brake dust/road tar in between the spokes. I cant get it off and so far I have tried everything I have with an assortment of wheel brushes.

-Clay
-Megs safe-d (3:1)
-p21s gel
- AG intensive tar remover

Nothings is working, I was thinking mothers power ball because its a tough area to get into, any suggestions.

Try a paint cleaner or polish.

If that doesn't work, maybe Meguiar's Wheel Brightener.

It almost looks like it's pitted into the finish. Can you feel it with a fingernail as being raised?
