I was thinking this too.  Overuse of dishwasher detergent causes spots on 
aluminum cookware.
I would suggest spraying the wheel with Simple Green, then running it thru 
the dishwasher with no detergent.  Don't pour Simple Green (or any other 
non-dishwasher detergent) in the dishwasher.  You don't want to create a lot 
of suds.
