Never dull didn't work for me!

I recently came back from deployment and my truck sits in the Miami sun for 2 months at a time. It rains then gets hot over and over. I now have these horrible brown water spots on my chrome wheels. I scrubbed them with never dull which has worked before but not working at all this time. These spots are horrible. Anyone have any good ideas? Thanks!

Chrome, eh? I really like Mothers Chrome Wheel or Mag Wheel polishes. They will do more than NeverDull.
 
What is the vehicle brand, it's age, are they factory or aftermarket wheels?

Won't respond on some things until I have some idea of what they are.

It's a 2008 Escalade with factory chrome 22" wheels. Thanks.

Those are "coated" wheels, done with a acrylic powdercoat.

The product you are attempting to use is for "uncoated" wheels.

It appears from your post that there was either some brake dust on the surface or some ferrous particles were in the water that landed on the hot wheels.

Suggest you try a mild compound used for vehicle paint, by hand, on a spot or two.

If this removes them, follow up by hand polishing the areas again with a mild polish.

Then apply a good polymer based sealant to the wheels when finished.

Allow the sealant to cure for an hour or so before wiping off the haze.

This will reduce the opportunity for the condition to return.

I would think that Iron X would fit the bill for you here. I have used it to remove brake dust on wheels and remove iron particles from paint with great success. I have even used it to clean up a rust stain on my concrete , that nothing else would touch. the paste version is great where you need it to cling. not sure if you have any of the product or not .

Yeah the wheels were clean when I parked it but the rain really messed them up. I have some Pinnacle swirl remover is that what you are talking about? Also where can I get some of that iron X? Thanks for the replies.

This product is (netrelized) acid-based so be cautious if using on compromised (pitts, flaking, etc) chrome surfaces
 
good point, I would try a small test spot and see how it goes for you. I should have mentioned that but figured the idea of trying a test spot was implied. try and get a small sample of the product to give it a go.
