So I just picked up these enkei rt6 wheels. They are pretty trashed. I washed them pretty good and used chemical guys grime reaper and let it soak for a few mins. Then I clayed the entire face of the wheel and the lip and they came pretty clean.

So the back sides look like they have never been touched. Nothing was getting them clean. I tried using some acatone and it did pretty good on the backs. Now my question is, is there anything better that I can use?

A wheel cleaner with iron reactivity will help pull a lot of the baked on brakedust out of the wheel surface. That does look pretty well baked on there so you may also need to do some scrubbing. For jobs like this I've had decent luck using the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/3M-HP-HP-Scotch-Brite-Hand-Pad/dp/B00125PR5A/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NYN7N240T8NBKYYXD0B"]ultra-fine or fine grade scotchbrite pads[/ame]



They're strong enough to help cut thru some of that gunk, but will minimize the damage and post cleaning polishing needed to bring the wheel back to a nice finish.

For wheel cleaner have a look at our AWC+

Ah, I love those wheels. Is any of the clear peeling off? My set eventually started peeling from the center hub and lug holes.

I would say, strip them and refinish, but they dont seem to be too bad. That clear coat needs some help though.
