Can’t seem to get my wheel clean! Any suggestions would be great!
Hey Guys,
Trying to detail my wheels and there’s this dirty looking film I can’t seem to remove. I’ve used many different wheel cleaner strengths and it doesn’t seem to come off. The wheel is a OEM BENZ C450 Wheel. Any idea what I’m looking at?

What wheel cleaners have you tried? Any pictures?

Chemical Guys: Diablo Wheel cleaner, Sig Series Wheel Cleaner, Sticky Citrus Wheel cleaner, Decon Pro decontaminate cleaner, regular car wash soap, ice snow foam soap, tried clay barring it... I took some steal
wool to a VERY small section of it with some detail spray for lube and it removed it then I used a buffer to remove the scratches and that worked but I don’t wanna do that for all 4 wheels. There has to be a simple way to get this clean...
I posted a close up pic of my wheel on the second post!

If you have a product like IronX, I’d try that and let it sit for 3-5 minutes, agitate with a small brush and pressure wash it off. Could also try Tarminator in the same man or, just make sure to wash off residue with some soap. The other wheel cleaners I would use aren’t sold here so I won’t mention them. Lastly if need be, I’d forgo the steal wool and just polish/compound that gunk away and apply some sort of protection after. Id use either a ceramic coating or at least something like Hydro2. Will definitely help with future cleanings.

I second IronX. If that doesn't work, Meg's Wheel Brightner should clean that up. Very toxic chemical, so be careful while using it.

Try a paint polish or cleaner/wax.
Do you normally use a brush when you clean them?
