Rims disgusting.
Okay they look like this after I decided to spray some wheel cleaner on my hot rims. Can you give me suggestions to get it off please? I tried CRL and elbow grease didn't work. Its sad

They are etched and need polished. I would try a mothers powerball on a drill with some compound/polish. I did that to some rims one time and buffed them back out just like you would your paint. Yours are too deep for that though which is why I suggest the powerball.

I've used this for 5 years and it is amazing, I bet it would work for sure.
Works great on chrome and all metal finishes.

Guys, I don't think that is bare aluminum. An aluminum polish would be way too aggressive if the wheels are cleared like I think they are. Try any old rubbing compound on the powerball and see what happens. If the pad turns black, they are bare aluminum. If not, the rubbing compound should take that etching right out.

Definitely looks etched, what wheel cleaner did you use?
