I have had the same issues with my APracing BBk, but I was using Meguire's Gold edition wheel cleaner and occasionally some other off the shelf. I never would have thought they were strong enough to eat off paint and etch anodized aluminum which are the disc hats.
Now I have to take the brakes off, ship the calipers to IND week after next, get them repainted and glossed and the rear hats that suffered the most etching damage, re-anodized. New hardware and time. Gonna run me about $800 when all said and done. I'm never gonna use that shit again. If I need to really clean my wheels, I'll take the time on a weekend afternoon and jack the M3 up, take off the wheels and clean it all up. I don't mind, but sure mind my $6600+ BBK getting screwed up because of some damn wheel cleaner. GRRRRR!!!!
Good luck man, hope you get your brakes looking like new again.
