Ok, so I tried to clean one of my winter rims this past weekend. It was really hard and just wouldn't clean up with soap, simple green, scrubbing...it still had a film on it. This film kinda came off on the face of the rim with Neverdull but it would have taken forever. I ended up using this Lime Away stuff from Whink and that worked great on the face and the inner part of the rim. It got it real shiney with little effort. However, my rims still have this deposit on them that I just cannot remove. I tried a metal scraper on the inside and it will take it off but it scratches so I can't use it on the front. Here are some pics of what I'm talking about:

You can see the deposits better on the inside of the rim. I have no clue what they are or what to use to remove them. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

It sounds like you may have some work cut out for you. The safest method is going to be using a metal polish, like Never Dull, or something else, and take your time and slowly but surely remove the marks. Otherwise, as you experienced, a fast way may scratch the rims or potentially do even more damage.
Good luck.

I have a friend with a set of Privat Reserv wheels in gunmetal, and they are a kind of rought material, not polished or painted like normal wheels, more like a raw metal feel (not sure what it's called). He tried to clean his wheels, but has spots that look like stains on them that won't come off with soap and water, and we're not sure what to do. Any advice on cleaning this type of wheel would be great, and I can try to get pics if needed.
