Default cleaning z06 wheels?
Hey guys,

I wanted some suggestions to cleaning up my z06 wheels. They are the stock 03 gray wheels, and have 85k on them. Over time, they have turned very dark to slighly black in some spots, probably from break dust. Scrubbing them with soap and water doesn't remove it. Thanks in advance

Mark

Clay bar will work for the most part. I've also used easy off oven cleaner to clean wheels before, just make sure to wash and wax your wheels afterwards

Simple Green is my Friend. Never thought about clay baring them. I will have to try that today while I get the car ready for show tomorrow.
