Hey guys and gals,
Powdered coated my aluminum rims gold and I used brake cleaner to wipe down the rims. Before I realized, I probably used too strong of a cleaner. The brake dust and chain lube that adhered to the rim seems to have been impregnated into the gold powder coating. I was able to clean the rest of the rim using simple green without incident.
The more I try to get the section cleaned where I used the brake cleaner, nothing is working to get the black stains out. I've used WD-40 and 0000 steel wool in the past for cleaning chrome, etc.
Any suggesions? HELP!!!
