What product to remove this stuff from my rims?

I have some rims with thousands of little micro dots everywhere. Is it possible to take them off? You can't feel them, they look like someone sprayed something into them.

What product can take them off?

Ignore the water spots.

Told my gf if she could bring me a chrome polish from autozone on her way home and brought me Mother's Chrome Polish but didn't do anything. You can feel the dots slightly with your nails. Will steel wool do it? The rims also have like a dirty brown look shine that i can't take off.

I have a porter cable 7424 so maybe there is something i can use with that? Though it doesn't reach those small areas.

Maybe the Finish Kare Decon System and an aggressive clay.

Where are you located because there are professionals on here from all over the country who you might be able to help you out if you are nearby.

Well, would that work? I need something that is ruff but won't damage the rims. The wool will give fine scratches on the rims? And then i take them off with a polish?

Edit:

I'm located by Los Angeles. I also wanted to find out about them because my car stayed parked for almost 1 year in my backyard and the paint has chips and scratches that i have no idea how they got there.

Sorry for double post, anyone that thinks that can take this off my rims and is in the L.A area, send me a PM.

Since the chrome polish didn't work...did you try clay? If that doesn't work get some 0000 steel wool and do a small section. Use a QD for lubrication. Be sure it's 0000 steel wool anything else will surely damage the chrome. If that doesn't work, take it to a chrome shop and have them re-done.
