A set of Monterey 15" wheels came with my wagon that I want to use for winters. Unfortunately they have loads of extremely caked/baked-on brake dust from years of neglect. I've tried various chemicals (brake cleaner, oven cleaner, Iron-X) and nothing takes this stuff off. I've tried a nylon brush on my drill but that doesn't do much. A brass brush does seem to work with some effort but that seems pretty abusive and leaves the rims pretty scratched up and would require additional rounds of sanding etc. prior to repainting. I fully expect to have to paint them but would prefer to minimize the pain and $$ necessary for this project. Any suggestions?
