Sorry to tell you this but stock WS6 wheels are clear coated. I went though this same thing about two months ago. Tried everything I could find in metal cleaner to clean them. To get them really clean you would have to strip the clear coat and then polish them. I decided it was to much troble and just clay bar them and wax. Much better then before and not as clean as I would like.

 

Would the clay bar/wax combo clean off the stains? I dont mind them not being perfect but I would alteast like to get the run stains off of them, i dont knwo what its from.. looks like something dripped and ran on them, like clear paint or harsh chemicals.. honestly i have no idea..

Any idea on what to use to kill all that?

 

I was talking to a friend of mine about cleaning stains (of i dont know what) off of my ws6 rims. I tried all kinds of wheels cleaners but this is stubborn stuff so im thinking about abrassive's or polishing compunds, etc. I saw a website go into detail about the subject and they suggested something called Old English, they make a bunch of cleaners for this sort of thing.. anyone heard of em/used em?

My friend recommended regular compound for paint and steel wool.

Any recommendations / Advice? id like to make em shine like mirrors and get this crap off of em.

Thanks

It helped some on mine, but some of the problem is under the clear coat. Unless you strip it and polish them you won't get it all off. I haven't decided what to do with mine yet.
