Mmmmm, embedded brake dust. Those wheels have seen some neglect.

I’m a pro detailer, going on 21 years now. The comments above are fairly accurate. Soak individual areas with a wheel cleaner and agitate with a stiff bristled nylon “toothbrush”. I’ll also add that a fingernail or appropriate medium density plastic scraper will help speed the process.

Once the bulk of it is off follow up by hand polishing with a mild polish.

In all likely hood some areas of the silver wheel finish will be damaged.

Cost wise if this vehicle came through my shop I would specifically quote cleaning the wheels based on an open ended hourly charge. You could easily spend an hour per wheel cleaning that off... BTDT

I would not expect that removed if it was a “Flat Rate” $150.00 job.
