Wheel cleaning systems and methods are described for removing corrosion from a wheel rim. An enclosure comprises a plurality of walls that define a work area, and houses a turntable that can hold a wheel rim. The turntable is driven by a motor to rotate the wheel about an axis. The enclosure may have a transparent shield or window to allow a user to view the wheel during the cleaning process and be protected from sparks and other debris. The enclosure may be fully enclosed with gloved openings, or contain one or more open sections to allow the user to maneuver a tool (e.g., a grinder) in multiple positions within the enclosure, and clean the wheel rim. The system further comprises an exhaust unit that draws out small particles and airborne debris from within the enclosure, and produced during a cleaning process.
