Brake Dust Remover?

I need something that will remove some brake dust that hasn't been cleaned off in a good while. Regular Salad Shooter Rims. Ive tried some car wash soap, and eagle ones rim cleaner...no luck... anyone know of some strong stuff i could use to clean em up real good?

Degreaser? I use Turtle Wax F1 Wheel Cleaner and that usually gets the job done for me.

ZEP orange citrus cleaner from Home Depot, maybe some Simple Green. and a scrub brush.

Brake Clean maybe if all else fails....

A Simple Green soak and a power washer helped removed some of the baked on brake dust that was on the front wheels (painted aluminum) of my Jeep. I need to get after it again though, they're getting bad.
