Alright i have a set of rims i'm cleaning up, but they are covered in grease/brake dust/ and crap. Is there anything i can use to get everything off of the rims and make them look brand new with little to no marks left. I cleaned them with just soap and water and got a good amount of the crap off, but on the inside of the rim, there's some tough stuff that i could not scrub out. Any suggestion's on what to use, or certain cleaning/scrubbing methods? Any Help would be appreciated.

So leave the wheels out in the backyard one night then the next morning wake up early and go to town of them?
Alright i'll put them out tonight, and clean them up tommorow. They are sorta cleaned up now, but their is a good amount of caked up brake dust in the back that i want gone. I'll take some before after pictures.

God damn motor and school work keeps sidetracking me. Rims are cleaned up, but i just used soap. Gonna probably purple power the back of the rims and try to get the shit off. I'll make sure i take pictures. Hopefully i don't keep procrastinating the rims...

it might be a bit of an outreach, but if you know anyone that has a steam cleaner then use that. it should clean all the grime and crap right off without any harsh chemicals.
