White stain on rims?

I have got a few white stains on my front driver side rims lip. I tries to scrub it with my nail but it doesnt seem to be on the surface it just looks like a stain that inside the polished aluminum lip. They are not clear coated. Does anybody know how to take this off. Whats the best product to use to do so?

You really shouldn't do things like that in front of your wheels.

oxidation/ water spots then, try never dull or any other metal polish and it should take it right out

Some of us love our cars a little too much.

Uncoated aluminum is a PITA to take care of.

Go grab some---

-Flitz Metal Polish
-Mother's Metal Polish
-Meguiar's NXT Polysh

Either or...Using a terry or MF applicator, work the product in. When it hazes, remove with a clean towel.
