My front wheels are stained with brake dust, i have washed the hell out of them with soap and water and even tried goo gone on one spot to no avail.. anyone know if there is a way to get this stuff off?

 

more elbow into it with a dish sponge is what i do

 

try claybar

 

If you're talking about the inner lip, I scrubbed and scrubbed and never got mine as clean as I wanted. I took the wheels off and used a pressure washer/cleaner and it worked like a charm.

Once you get them clean, use Hawk Brake pads..

 

thats what i was taling about the inner lip, but i don't have stock wheels i have rh wheels..i scrub mine everytime i wash my car which is pretty often, i now have hawks and its still the same but the dust is like a different color

 

Im talking about the painted face of the wheels, not the acutal spokes, but the area between spokes, i actually tried a brillo on a tiny spot and this stuff wont come off

 

maybe be very careful and just use on the spots, but i might try paint thinner if i were u and u have tried everything...just dab a little on a rag or something and try to wipe it off on a small inconspicuous(however thats spelled) spot, just clean it right after..ive used it on some things such as rubber on my car that wouldn't come off..

 

have you tried mild paint polish?

 

I would suggest using a quality metal polish like the P21S Finish Restorer. It has a deep cleaning power to remove brake dust and shine the wheel. When you are done I recommend protecting the wheel with a coating of the Poorboys World Wheel Sealant. This helps prevent stains and makes future cleanings much easier.
