Clean wheels

Last weekend I was washing the car and I noticed some stuff on my wheels that is not coming off. I tried tried some mothers wax and I think I made it worse. Where I applied the wax it looks cloudy now. Is there anything I can do to fix it or clean it?

You might want to try a fine cut compound, or even a buffer like a "power ball" with compound.

Not sure why the Mothers would make it worse though. Try washing the wheel with some Dawn to remove the waxes first.

sounds like you took the clear coat off? try a polish for paint,
fine cut would be key. If you did take the clear off. You will
have to either deal with that 1 area thats cloudy or re-do the
entire wheel. Problem is. if you re-do that wheel, you will want to
do all the others as well.

Make sure you know what your using..polish/wax/cleaners/wheel cleaners
and it's a good idea to check with that manufacture as to what they
recommend you using

Yeah it does sound like the clear cost was removed which is quite common. Problem is a wheel shop will charge an arm and a leg to redo the clear coat. If it's not that visable just leave it and be extra careful.
