I am having trouble cleaning my wheels Do you have anything more agressive? My wheels look like they have old paint on them or something. At first glance it looks like brake dust but I can't put a dent in them even with Sonax. I am thinking about painting them black anyways, but if there is some way to clean them up first, I'd rather start there.

See these pictures:

what polishes do you have handy I would clean them up good and then use a polish to clean them up.

have you brought this to a car wash that uses acid for wheel cleaner?

I have a turtle wax chrome polish, basic rubbing & polishing compounds, Meguiars Ulitmate compound, m205, and m95 (i think,,, speed cut compound) I haven't really tried anything besides the chrome polish as I didn;t think these other products wold work for wheels.

sorry was wondering if you ever took the car to any of the local car washes, if they use wheel acids to clean your wheels they will look like that.

Thanks, so do you have/know of a product that will help with this, or am I going to have to sand/refinish?

OP you have the infamous staining of the OEM rims. Something got through the clear and stained the rims and there is nothing you can do to remove the stains short of re-finishing the wheels. I've seen this happen to almost all of Infiniti/Nissan wheels and don't really know what does it other than harsh chemicals. It's frustrating because the wheel will feel fine, no pitting or flaking of the clear/paint, they just seem to appear out of nowhere.
