I had my rims in storage for the winter and Monday I put them back on. I knew they would be dirty but the dirt doesn't seem like it wants to come off. I used good ol soap and water then I brought some brand chrome wheel cleaner, then I applied some mothers chrome wheel polish. Now they seem bright but still not clean. What other product might I use that would take the dirt and I guess brake dust off?

 

Thats a tough one.
1. Not used in winter.
2. Cleaned with soap and water and chrome polish.

You think the dirt somehow settled into the chrome? Can you post some pics of the rims?

 

Be careful what kind of soap polish to you. If they've got aClearcote you don't want to damage that.

Check out one of these:

P21S makes a good wheel cleaner that is supposedly very safe:
