Will that cleaner get out all the tiny specks of brake dust on the 19" OEM wheels? The sides of the spokes seem to be rough or slightly pitted like pores in skin almost. The exterior is flat and sealed but the sides look rougher.

you may have left that on too long you can give it a shot but if it doesn't come off you may need clay and polishing.

Thanks, I got it off lease, so have no idea what (if anything) had been done to the wheels.

I haven't used anything at all yet.

Beautiful Job!!! Question though when you put the clear bra on the hood, how do you anchor it down. How do you fold the Bra over so it does not peel off?
