Default Removing "rust stains" from painted wheels?
I have a set of black OE C6 Z06 wheels. The front driver's side has a good amount of rust on it. I washed the car today, and it didn't come off. I even used mequiars wheel cleaner to no avail. The guy at Autozone said it looks like oxidation, but idk if that's what it is.

Does anyone have a way to get this junk off of my wheels? Remember, they are painted.

If this doesn't work, try non-diluted Simple Green.
