Default Water spots on Weld Draglites

I have water spots all over my draglites and I can't take them off! <img src="images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> Is there anything I can use for this? Thanks in advance.

Eagle One makes some wheel cleaner that's AWESOME. It comes in a silver tin can, and it's cotton (or something like it) that's been treated with their "special chemicals". <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> At any rate, it's great stuff, and I bet it will take the water spots off. I was getting a lot of scratches in my Boyd Coddington wheels, and I tried this stuff out. The scratches are virtually gone, and the wheels will blind you in the sun! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

i use Mother's aluminum polish. White pastey stuff that turns black as you rub it on the wheels. Wipes off clean and easy, no more spots and shiny, shiny, shiny <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
