HELP! Brown stains on wheels that won't come off
I have got these reoccuring brown spots on my wheels. I wash the wheels often to get rid of the dust. I have waxed the wheels a few times as well. The first time I waxed, the stains disappeared for the most part but came back in the same spot with a vengeance. Now they won't go away. Is this a problem with the casting, clearcoat or soemthing else. The stains are for the most part round or oval so it is not spots I have missed washing.
Thanks,
Greg

sometimes, that "shiny tire stuff" puts stains on new wheels, my car cleaner does not use this
he says, it happens to tires which generally have less than 15k on them. Rubber compound and "shiny stuff" don't react well together

Here's what I use. Never had that problem and may fix your stains.

Oops, you said wheels not tires. Wrong answer try
waxing your cleaning your wheels w/ P21S followed by a good car wash, like Sonax, and then put a good wax on them, like 1 Grand blitz wax. Your probably getting some rust from the brake discs from water that your drive through. Anyway, protect your wheels, like you should your paint on your car, since they are painted and clear coated like your car. The link in the above post has good car care articles.<p><a href="http://members.home.net/rhlouie/a4.htm"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/Hanssig.jpg" BORDER=0></a>
