Spots on My Rims

I have a 2001 Acura CL with Alloy rims. There are spots on the rims that I can't seem to get off. They look like soap but they won't buff out or at least not easily. Typically, I use Meguires Hot Wheels to clean the rims.



I tried using AIO but that didn't seem to help. Is there a cleaner and/or polish I can use to remove the spots and shine the rims?



Thanks in advance.
 
You have clearcoated aluminum rims. You need a special polish for them, lok for that at the store! IU have no clueon brands.
 
Kinda sounds like hard waterspots?



I would try vinegar first, see if those remove them.

If not I would try claying them. AIO is a pretty aggresive cleaner, if its not working I would try another technique before trying to polish them out with something stronger.
 
I tried some of that Luster Lace over the weekend on a set of spotted tbird rims and the stuff really made a difference in removing the spots, plus adding a nice even shine to them. :xyxthumbs
 
The only product I know of actually made for clear coated wheels is Mothers Clear Coat Wheel Polish, part # 05108.



Lots of folks use products like Nu-Finish on them, too.
