Didn't try the purple power, but the landlord turned the water on in the hose recently. I tried the surf city code red stuff with the hose on the highest pressure setting yesterday.

This is what stuff looked like afterwards.





It looks half decent now. I don't know if the stuff on the inside surface of the wheel is going to come off. Might try taking a brush to the inside with the code red and/or purple power.

They definitely look way better now. I don't think I'm going to have to paint them, which is awesome.

The above are both after pictures btw. My brush was pretty hard, so I think I scratched the wheel surface. I don't really care all that much because there's no way that ish is coming off otherwise.
