Question water marks on rims please help...
i want to sell my ws6 wheels but cant because one of them has water marks that wont come off... ive tried scrubbing them with a scrub pad, used a lot of products to take the marks off, and nothing works... i can scrub them off with my finger nail but, that would take days... anyone have this problem before and knows how to take the marks off?
