How to clean black powder coat wheel?

I've been trying a few different wheel cleaner and none of them worked well for my black powder coat BBS wheels.

What do I have to use to make them shine again? Thanks in advance!

Wow what happened to those? The last set of powdercoated wheels I had always just cleaned up with soap and water, and I've never seen them scratch like that.

I don't think you'll be able to clean that..looks more like the powdercoat is wearing off rather than it just being dirty. If you can't get that off with soap and water then it might not come off

Might be some of the wheels cleaner you sprayed on had a bad affect on the paint. Try some P21s wheels cleaner its good stuff if that does not work then you might have to re powder coat.

Looks like you used a very caustic cleaner on those.

Try a polish. If that doesn't work I believe they are toast.

they are stained, u may need to re powdercoat . quick question did you get any brake fluid on them by any chance? i just powdercoated my brembos a little while back and got brake fluid on them, cleaned them off but missed some spots. next morning i came out and the spots looked like this. :/ SUCKS!! Good luck man.

No brake fluid.

I stopped using brown royal, I bought Eagle one from Walmart, and they don't really work either.
