How do I clean this wheel?

Brake seized and the pad crumbled. Metal piece with the pad was pushed into the rotor which ruined it and left iron all over the car. I was able to use the fancy iron spray on the paint and a clay bar to clean up the body perfectly. The wheel though is another story…

There is a layer of rust on top of this powder coated wheel. I’ve used the iron spray, pressure washing, brush with dish soap, but nothing I’ve done has made a real improvement. Can this be saved or will it have to be stripped and re powder coated?

just send it off to be powdercoated. Those guys have a strong chemical stripper that we will bring it down to the bare metal.

I’ve always had good luck with P&S brake buster. Might be worth a try . Worst case you can use it in your washing regiment afterwards. Don’t dilute it use the full strength.
