What's this on my rims and how do I clean it off?
So today I decided to wash the truck. Usually the rims turn a dual grey color when I don't wash them, because of all the dirt. So today I was cleaning them like I normally do, and when I got to the last rim. (Passenger side rear rim) I noticed that it had some type of substance on it that would not come off. It is all around the lip of the rim and some on the rim itself. What do you guys think it is????? And what can I do to remove it????? Thanks

looks like it could be brake fluid. have you had them done lately?
|
dog piss
|
if the lip is polished it could be stained. i had a set of pacer warriors that looked just like that. i used some wheel cleaning products when the rims were still warm and it stained.
|
the rims are Boss 332s, please tell don't tell me this isn't irreversible!?
|
might have to sand off the lip and re-clear it
|
There's nothing I can spray on em?
|
grab some wheel and tire cleaner....clean wheels
then wax and see if it comes off....if it doesn't come off by waxing then you might have done damage to the chrome on the wheels and require them to be re-finished. Wax should take it off if its a surface stain. |
why not try to clay bar them? wax when finished. just looks like water spots to me.

Those wheel lips are polished, I believe. My Boss wheels had polished lips, no clear.

Sorry to butt in here with this question. STEALTH, MAYBE YOU COULD HELP, I'VE READ QUITE A FEW POSTS AND YOU'RE TRUCK SITS NICE.
I'm new to the scene, i have a 2007 hd f150, and i'm looking to buy tires today. I still have the factory 22's, i think they're 22x9, and want to put nitto nt 420s 305/40/22 on there. Will i have any issues with size, look? I want flush. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. |
Patman and Stealth, so what exactly do I need to do/buy?
