I have been tracking my car this year. My wheels have been ceramic coated twice yet cleaning after a track day is impossible. I always wait for the following day and start with a power washer to remove track rubber. (The only place a power washer touches my car) I have always utilized the Griots Garage wheel cleaner with great results, under normal conditions. I am doing my best to keep a tracked car in the best shape I can but am finding it difficult to do both. Any hints on product or technique would be greatly appreciated.

I've only tracked once, but didn't have any issues getting the brake dust off. I used my normal wheel cleaner and brushes.
Are you running track pads? Are the wheels a rougher/matte/satin finish? I'm just trying to imagine why they'd be so hard to clean since you didn't leave the dust to bake/harden on the wheels and they were coated.
Maybe a product like Sonax wheel cleaner or IronX that dissolve the metallic deposits might work better.
