Hey guys, i have a 98 camaro with the stock painted aluminum wheels. on one of the front wheels i have like stains :confused:



i'll get some pics up, but it is like when i clean the wheel it does not come clean like the others. i have tried polish and wax but no dice. looks like the stain or dirt is baked onto the wheel.



any suggestions ? :(
 
Looks like they're stained. This happened to my stock salad shooter wheels...I can't think of any solution other than to have them re-painted. It could be from using a strong acid-based wheel cleaner....after getting my new SS wheels I made sure not to use anything but car shampoo and a soft brush to prevent this from happening again :(
 
yeah, that is the thing, i have never used any powerful solutions. when i bought the car used about 2 years ago, the wheels were not like this. so i am trying to figure out, what the hell happened



:(



just bought headers so wheels and tires will have to wait :sosad
 
just checked out the tropicare site. if the swirl cutter is a mild abrasive, does that mean that i could use Menz IP ??



just a thought ;)
 
just giving you guys an update. used IP and the wheels came out like new :xyxthumbs



i hadsome liquid GC laying around so i applied some of that. are the stains going to come back ?? i am going to apply some GC after every wash, hopefully my wheels can stay stain free for a while :cool:
