In the end they came out ok, maybe a 3 on a scale of 10 in the Porsche wheel world .

I'm looking for ideas if I run into any more like this. I know when I got my Boxster which is two years older it was pretty bad two. I used pretty much the same process and they are decent too.
I've read good reviews about these 2 products.

Wolf's Chemicals WF-1NT Wheel Cleaner
Optimum Power Clean

My 10-year old wheels are full of brake dust on the inside of the wheel. I'll get one of these cleaners and see how they do.
