A Good spray on wheel cleaner or good de- greaser works really well. let it soak for a few minutes and rise off.. The green degreaser at the car wash works good too.. let it soak and do a highpressure rinse,

I use a hand held steamer. The thing works great on the calipers as well.

So, did you guys remove the screens in order to polish, or did you do the polishing while on the car?

If you removed the screens, how do you get them out? I'm sure it is very simple but I thought I would ask anyhow.
