Have you tried Iron-X?

This is a video I made for paint, but it's exceptional on brake dust on wheels as well:

the grease/dirt/brake dust...almost seems baked into the paint...if you think this will work on something like that I will pick it up.

I think it's your best bet. I've used Iron X to do some amazing things. It dissolves the brake dust and pulls it out.

You could also try Trix, which combines Iron-X and Tar-X. Same basic idea, but more effective for broader decon.
