How to remove brake dust from inside wheel and between wheel nuts?

How to remove brake dust from inside wheel and between wheel nuts?

Very heavy brake dust and using brake dust remover sprays didn't work.. Also is there any way I can clean inside the wheel without taking the wheel off?

Try other tire wheel cleaners
LEt them sit on dust longer but never dry.
Go to griots garage and buy a bunch of different wheel brushes which get in all those nooks and cranies

I use the below wheel woolies on my 458 all the time. These are big rims and it gets all the way inside. Then I use a hogs hair brush for the bolts and emblems, etc. Ammo plum to get all the dirt soaking and some Ammo brute wheel soap to clean em good. Link for the wheel woolies I use is below.

Ditto on both of the above suggestions.
I ceramic coated my rims and it made them so much easier to clean. Dust basically rinses off. Still need some wiring with the woolies or brushes.

Another option that I use after it was recommended by someone on MBWorld is ArmorAll Outlast Brake Dust Repellent https://www.armorall.com/product/out...ust-repellent/. Just spray it on after the wheels are completely clean and let it dry for an hour or so.. So far it has helped a lot to keep my wheels clean

Best solution is to take off the wheels, clean them inside and out and then either ceramic coat them or I use an AMMO product Gelee and coat everything including the inner barrels. The dirt literally just sprays right off, ceramic would be longer lasting for sure

Ceramic coating would be a more permanent solution. Outlast only lasts for a few washings but it's easy and quick to apply.
