Hey guys, pretty much self explanatory. Didn't take my new polished wheels off for the winter and they got DIRTY. Didn't know polished wheels got so dirty and hard to clean.

I've been using Nevr-Dull to get the grime that's stuck in the tight spots and all over, but some of it just won't come off, even with tons of elbow grease. I have some pics to give you an idea of what's left. Any ideas of where to go from here are appreciated. Just wondering if I'm getting all I'm going to get off with Nevr-dull and should move on to some polish, or if more needs to be done with something else etc.?

You should get all of the grime off before you polish. Try some eagle 1 all wheel cleaner.

Yea, I figured that, but it's hard to tell what is grime and what just needs to be polished in some places. Plus some of this grime seems impossible to get off without grinding the darn things.

Mothers Power Ball cleaner buddy of mine had good results all you need after that is a drill for the polishing ball :D
