Cleaning rims
Is there a cleaner for the stock rims on my '91 300 SE that will remove the brake dust? If it can be home-made that would be the ticket.

I asked luke at tirerack the same question and he stated warm soapy water. Then, use a polymer wax afterwards! Hence, his suggestion works very well.

2 scoops of Oxy-Clean in a bucket of warm water and a brush. !
