Default Wheel Cleaner Fail

I used some Turtle wax ice wheel cleaner the other day. I used it as directed and it has left stains all over my wheels. They look like jizz marks everywhere. Do you guys know of anything to get it off? I've used soap and water. I didn't want to put anything else on it that my stain them any further. BTW they are stock wheels on my DD and 04' Silverado. Help is appreciated.

-Thanks

I'll try the Mothers. It really pisses me off though. They look FN horrible.

Mothers SHOULD work. I've had to take that and a power ball with a lot of elbow grease to get stains out of the GF's 20's on her Mazda.

Im going to assume the wheels are polished? If so, I'd probably use some mothers billet polish. Its not the best polish in the world, but I've always used it on my TT2s etc. May take alot of work, but it should get it off.

It's just stock 5 star 16" wheels on a Silverado. They are allumnium but I think they have some kind of coating from the factory. They look close to these.

I always used regular car wash for my wheels. I'm too afraid wheel cleaner will mess them up.

I guess you live and learn. This was the first time I've used it and I probably won't use wheel cleaner again. I had some polish in the garage and tried it. It's alot of elbow grease but, it seems to be working. Thanks for the help.
