    Tire and Wheel Cleaner

    Just messed up and bought 2 bottles of Black Magic tire and wheel cleaner. It is for all wheel finishes. The stuff is junk. Would not remove any recognizable amount of brake dust and had little to no affect on the tires. You guys are probably already experienced enough to select a brand that...
