brake dust corrosion
i never cleaned my wheels all last winter, and now they have those corrosion pock marks all around the lip of the wheel... the lip is polished and clearcoated i believe, is there anything i can do to make them look better? i know it they won't get totally removed, but can i make it look a little better? could i rub them with 1000 grit? ideas? thanks

what will the steel wool do to the clearcoat and shine on the wheels?? what would i hafta do to get the shine back? wax? glaze? fine compound? all 3? thanks

If the clay goes over the surface rust and doesn't remove it, the wool should have a little more bite and remove minor surface rust.
As for the shine back - what's not making the wheels shine? Is there something wrong with the clear coat? Some pics would be good. Some compound could help.
Good Luck!
