Okay,
Maybe this belongs someplace else,, BUT I need to know how to clean the permanent brake dust off my pony rims. Any suggestions? Thanks,

You could also try Spray-9 or a little varsol if it is really stubborn

the best way to keep any rim clean is to not let it get terribly dirty in the first place.

I know, but I recently bought the car, and that's how they looked when I got it.

Get Zeps all perpose cleaner. It's in dustrial and you can find it at Home pepot. It is in a big tub. It's used for steam cleaners and you can put it in the spray pump bottles. Spary it on and let it sit for a short while. Don't let it sit for long it will take paint off. Then hose it off after or what works best is if you spary alittle on and then use the pressure washer to blast the crap off. Works great. Does a better job than a degreaser. I've used it washing a Mack truck and it worked awsome.
