hmm... actually simple green does wonders on cleaning light brake dust. it is official fikse recommended product to clean their wheels.

But simple green is basically an acid. It had a low Ph, which is bad. water has a Ph of 7 which is considered neutral. Anything below 7 is said to be acidic and anything above that is basic.

You want to use a wheel cleaner that has a Ph of seven like Zymol wheel cleaner. I use P21S but it is said to be on the harsher side of cleaners. But I am powdercoating my wheels in a couple weeks so I really don't care about that now.
