short of a sandblaster the only thing that might work with lots of time and patience is a 3M stripping wheel. i tried every product know to the guys at my local UAP with little or no results. it is a mixture of road grime, oxidization and neglect. i used 3M Scotch-Brite discs and pads to get about 75% of the grim off the inside of the wheel. there is a new line of ROLOC products you may also want to try.



hope it helps
