Stubborn Wheels

I have a Camaro with white wheels. It's the 30th anniv. edition and it came with them, not my choice. The problem is that there are alot of little dark spots all over the wheel. I assume it is brake debris that has bonded to the rim. My question is how can it be removed? I have tried clay, DACP, brake fluid, gasoline, even tried heating it up but no success. I can scrape some of the bigger spots off with my nail once in awhile, but there are too many to keep doing that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
i would never use gasoline or brake fluid on painted wheels!



Try some Eagle One A2Z and elbow grease or some Stoner's Tarminator and elbow grease?



Can you get pics of them up so we can tell whether the problem is brake dust or something else?
 
I'd love to do a picture but no digital camara. I'd don't know if I'd call it brake dust because it's a bigger particle than that. It looks as it it got despostited there when hot and bonded to the surface. I was told once before it was brake pad stuff. All I know is it dosen't come off and it looks like crap.
 
My son's '95 Camaro has the silver-painted cast aluminum wheels, probably similar to yours.



They are the hardest wheels I've ever tried to keep clean. Camaros are famous for break dusting. And the break dust seems to "stick".



I recently used One Grand Special Touch and it required some rubbing, but it did get them clean. I spent about 30-40 minutes on each wheel.



I followed this with Zaino.



A week later, the KRUD was back. But the Zaino helped make them easier to clean.
