I have two sets of wheels for the WRX. Both are OEM factory wheels and finish. I use CarboTech XP10 racing brake pads on the car. These pads are being used on the street and on the track with both sets of wheels.

I'm noticing I can't get the brake dust cleaned off from the wheels due to the extremely high temperatures... the brake dust is being baked on to the wheel finish.

I've tried cleaning the wheels with over the counter wheel and brake dust cleaners with no success. I would like to know if anyone is aware of any cleaners, acids, or stronger solvents to remove the caked-on, baked-on brake residue from the wheels.

Thanks.
