Use at your own risk...

Wire wheel cleaner (wheel acid) will take care of brake dust and staining, but if your aluminum lip is no longer protected by clear, it'll chalk it. Some simple, cheap mag/aluminum wheel polish will shine the lip just fine by hand.

I used a scotch-bright green pad, soap and water and lots of elbow grease.

Yes it removed the remaining clear off the wheel. As I was pretty sure that the wheel was totally clean, I took the opportunity to reclear the wheels.

Good Luck!
