Post Water Spots On Polished Wheels

I just cleaned them with Mothers Polish and the spots are still on my polished Eagle 077's. These wheels are just two months old. What is the best thing to get the spots off???

Are you referring to the Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish?

Just have to find a rougher metal polish, go to a truck stop, they carry all sorts of grades of roughness of metal polishes.

I have the same wheels-since they are uncoated don't use anything except "Simple Green" during wash process,Harsh wheel cleaners will tend to spot these wheels! I polish with Blue magic stuff then finish with Nu Finish car polish to protect-it's cheap & works good on metal. You will need to repeat this process at least once a month to keep the shine.

Thumbs up

Go look for the ugliest can of wheel cleaner in the store...it is called NEVERDULL. This is the only thing I use. It takes everything off and polishs up great. And if they get dirty, just wash them off when you wash your car and they polish right back up. cheap too, like 3 bucks.
