Re: My wheels are stained, need help!
Have you tried a metal polish yet. I'm not a fan of Armorall anything really

Re: My wheels are stained, need help!
I used the truck box metal polish with the mothers powercone and that helped. Though i cant seem to get it to come back to the shine I had before. I ordered flitz metal polish, I'll see what happens when i use that. So bummed.....

If I had to deal with this issue using your at hand products, I'd reapply the AA product, quickly agitate with either a soft towel, mitt, or boars hair brush. Then immediately rinse, and towel dry. No dwelling. One wheel at a time. Then proceed with the Mothers product on a soft cotton towel.
The best product off the shelf, IMO, to remove the burn is NEVRDULL after reapplying the AA product as described.
The truck box product, along with the power cone/Mothers product has very little cut, and chemical cleaning ability. You need a product that has just the right amount of cut to remove the scale, mineral deposits, and burn. Go too aggressive and you'll wind up with shiny scratches.
Not aggressive enough, mineral deposits will remain.
After you have it all cleaned and polished, stick to a specific regimine of car wash shampoo cleaning only. Top with a thin coat of 845 or maintain with the NEVRDULL.

Re: My wheels are stained, need help!
Great response, thank you for the tips! I actually tried reapplying the AA and letting it sit for like 15 seconds and than tried rubbing it off with a microfiber to no avail. So I went ahead and ordered some nevrdull and i will keep you updated on what happens. What do you recommend as a applicator? I just use microfiber towels.

NEVRDULL is a cotton-batting, chemical pregnated product. No applicator needed.
Just tear off a small piece and get to work. Flip the wad, similar to folding clay, as you progress...and wear disposable gloves.
