I polished the chrome rim straight through to aluminum. wtf.
I guess that these black spots on my chrome rims are here to stay? Unless I actually want to take the time to polish off 100% of what I assume is chrome paint on aluminum wheels.
Oh well. One of these days I'll have to get aftermarket rims to get clean wheels again? I bought used. It's just a couple years of brake dust and hard water stains. I used a bunch of solvents to no avail.
I was kind of surprised to find out that it was just chrome paint, tho. Am I right in assuming that?
Thanks.
Later.

If you're thinking of just removing the paint and going with plain polished aluminum you are going to be disappointed. Aluminum dulls very quickly when exposed to the elements, so you would need some serious clear coating applied to them to keep them from oxidizing.
