Wheel cleaner

[colin cohen]

All they had was a Castrol acid based product.  I bought it and found that
it had some positive effects but I have plenty of elbow grease to still
apply.  The problem is that the stuff has become baked in probably by my own
mistake of trying to clean warm wheels with a spray cleaner.  I have done
this before without a problem, but this time I clearly blew it.  The rear
wheels came out clean today with some effort and the Gunk Engine Cleaner.

Will try again tomorrow.
