I am swearing by this metal restorer I got the other day. It's made by Mother's and it comes in a little jar...and costs less than $5.

My wheels had brake dust stains that would not come off with regular washing. Yesterday I tried this stuff on my wheels. They looked so good afterwards that I almost cried. My wheels haven't been so clean since the day I picked up my MINI. I am not sure how white wheels would handle it, but on silver it works fantastically. Just thought I would share.

You talking about their Mag Aluminum polish? Little red jar with a white lid?

By brake dust stains, do you mean that pitting that happens when the dust is left on the wheels for a few weeks? I have quite a bit of that, and Simple Green is unable to banish it.

That's it. I think. I can't remember whether or not the lid is red or white.
