And to top it off, Bleasie is over 70 years old and he still crawls under and cleans it.

I've actually done that. I already had the wheels off for some reason and I decided to go ahead and clean them. I used brake cleaner, then wheel cleaner, then regular old Formula 409. They looked soooo much better when I was done. I actually need to do it again. I don't think you realize it, but the inner rim accumulates a lot of brake dust. I'm talking about the part of the rim that is behind the spokes but still visible from the outside. When I got my car that part of the rim was a charcoal gray color. It looked fine, like that's just the color that it is supposed to be. But when I sprayed it with the brake cleaner I realized that it is actually the same color as the rest of the rim. Now from experience I can tell you that it looks good when it is clean, it looks good when it's so dirty that it's a solid gray, but when it's in the process of getting dirty it looks terrible.
