Where have your wheels been?

Have you scuffed the edges on a curb or something??

well if i understood correctly, when i clean my rims, i got the 18s, i feel as if it has corroded but it hasent,the break dust, and dirt gets deposited, you just need to rub hard and use a real good rim cleaner....but yeah it looks and feels like corrosion..

Get a bottle of Mothers wheel cleaner in the YELLOW bottle. Spray on and hose off. It is remarkable. Best I've found so far. I even spray it through the openings to the back of the rims. When hosed off, you can see the full width of these wheels. NICE detail.

If needed, a little wheel polish will make quick work of any left over residue. If wheels are kept waxed, then the cleaning is much easier. For cleaning and wax I use the Treatment cleaner and wax. I am very fond of these two products.

While I am at it:
Wax - The Treatment (tube)
Cleaner - The Treatment
Polish - Mequires #2
Wheels - Mothers (yellow bottle)
Windows - Vinegar and water w/ a clean lint free towel
Car wash - Eagle 1 (big red gallon)
Dry towel - micro fibre
Detail towel - soft cotton

These wheels have been cleaned and it wouldn't come off there seems to small pits or holes in castings which this corrosion is coming from all four wheels are having same problem
