Yeah, just a couple hours ago, I used engine degreeser on my brother's mazda wheels, and some stuff that's been on there for like 3 years came right off with a little scrubbing.I can't remember what brand of degreeser, the one that has a blue label.Tha is some strong stuff.Don't leave it on too long, that stuff could mess up your Xtreme wheels finish. Just a couple seconfds of sitting, then a coulemore seconds of srubbing should work just fine.
