Here's a before and after when cleaning with a majic eraser. I did not use the majic eraser on the front surface of the wheel. I didn't want to take the chance of light scuffs if the eraser was too abrasive. Only the inner barrel and on the ceramic coating. Bucket of warm water and majic eraser is all I used.

That’s incredible! I will give it a whirl ASAP. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that is pretty grimy! The rotors look near the end of life too. Try a magic eraser and/or some Dawn soap and water.

Looks like your wheel weights shifted. Might want to tend to that as well.
Hypothetically...if one were inquiring on how to tell if their wheel weights had shifted or not... how could one tell?

After I went out to clean the wheels, the left side wheel weights was worse!
Is this just cheap adhesive that for heated up from the rotors? I’ve never seen this after 20 or so track days I’ve done ok multiple different cars.

Looks like adhesive gave way due to the heat generated by the caliper and rotor. Just get some more weights of equal size and weight, mark their location, remove the old ones, thoroughly clean the surface and re-apply the new weights.

And then cover them with a piece of foil tape, if you will continue to track the car. Throwing weights on track is pretty common if not held down and protected from heat. The weight adhesive is not meant for track temps.
