Okay, first let me express my hatred for Wisconsin winters. I HATE THEM. I bought new rims and tires a few months ago, and I just put them on last weekend thinking winter was over. But no, of course it has to go and snow 5 more inches. It snowed Thursday night, and I just got done washing my new rims right now. The salt sat on them for about a day, and they look HORRIBLE. I have Eagle Alloy Series 186 rims. I sprayed some wheel cleaner on them, scrubbed them, and put a little wax on. They still look like crap. There's little black and white spots on them. Not even really that noticeable, but I sure can see it. Is there some kind of cleaner or polishing system or something, anything, that will make them look like new and shine again? I don't care how much it costs. I think I'm done ranting, thanks.

 

Im not sure but id call the place were you got them an ask they have had to had that happen before. Oh i hate winter to my window got busted that night so it snowed in my truck im in N.W. Indiana we didnt get as much as you but it still sucked.

 

Ahh, no snow down here in florida

 

You can clean the rims more. Try a rim cleaner that is safe for alloy wheels. Spray it on and let it sit. Use a soft brush to scrub the spots.

After that, rinse well with water. If spots are still there, use a metal polish. Apply the polish with a cloth and rub in small circles. Wipe off the polish when done.

If the spots do not come off, a wheel detailer at a shop can help. They use tools and products that remove tough spots.

Finally, wax or seal the rims again. This helps protect them from salt and dirt.

Clean the wheels often in winter. Salt will damage rims if left for many days.
