Default help nasty rusted brake dust on wheels!

I took my car to the track and anhiliated the pads but I didn't know till I got to an auto-x. Anyways we had to run with the pads down to the backing plate.
It rained last nigth and I went to look at the car today and the front wheels have a mixture of brake dust and rust allover them! I guess the rotor of backing must be iron or something anyways its stuck to the wheels realy bad, is there anything that can get it off and save my wheels?

how does the diablo wheel gel compare to the P21S wheel gel? Im curious because it would be a lot easier for me to pick up diablo.

Initial reports are very favorable. I might have a sample to try next week.

Here's a video (not mine) of Diablo in action.

wow that looks really good, I might pick up a gallon of this. If my math is right, it saves around $10 per gallon.
