wheel crud...long story you may not want to know...

[guidot]

Hey guys and gals,
long time no post. I have an interesting problem. My rear passenger caliper failed and during that time the remnants of the pad and such became crystalized and have since formed on my rim as a rust looking substance. If I had a pic I would post it, but as of right now I don't have access to my camera. I was thinking maybe some Soft Scrub with a brillo pad. I have used carb cleaner, and that does do something, but its a lot of work and it really makes quite a mess. I thought about power-washing too, but that doesn't seem to me as it would work as well. Its like a gritty thing and although power-washing implies lots of pressure that doesn't seem to me as if it would do it.

Thanks for any help and or suggestions.
