I have been wiping down with water between compounds, and using a hacksaw blade to freshen the wheels.
Did I miss something? Do I need all new wheels? I can still see some of the casting lines too. Have tried 90 deg to the lines, and just stratching on top of the lines even with the 120. Tried an area with light 100 sandpaper, and can NOT get it out now...
HHHEEEELLLLPPP!!! I wanna go ride!!

During the greasless steps, use some kind of spray cleaner like Simple Green or 409 between steps. For bar compounds, water won't touch them because they're mostly made from animal fat. Use brake cleaner or similar.
A blade with larger teeth would make a better wheel rake. And, you need a different one for each compound.
Most likely you aren't spending enough time on one or more of the steps. It's a universal mistake.
