Took all my wheels off to clean the in/outside. I've got these annoying black specks that I haven't been able to get off. I tried Simple Green and elbow grease, and then wheel cleaner. Neither worked, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Try the mineral spirits first as it is less "nasty". It should be easier on the wheels, but it will also be easier on the gunk you are trying to remove at the same time.
DeCon Pro is the specialty color-changing gel that removes stubborn brake dust, iron deposits, and other embedded metallic contamination from wheels and body panels before they can destroy your car!
Get a plastic scraper and tar remover. Its tar. The scraper takes off most of it and the tar remover softens the rest. Try that before getting into the harsh chemicals.
Best stuff I have used so far is Stoner company product Tarminator. Although now the label says Tar & Sap Remover. I don't know what the chemical composition is but takes tar of paint and wheels as well as that annoying glue that is transfered from price tags to the items of your store bought goods.
