Default Ws6 wheel cleaning help!

I have been cleaning my ws6 speed line wheels for some time and can't seem to get them totally clean.

How do you suggest I remove the spots in the pic? I can sand them but I'm sure there is a better way.

Let me know

Thanks

I've tried using a wire wheel on a drill but it scars and changes the shine as it removes those tar spots. If you can scrape off, then wrap a cloth or pad around a wire wheel and use an aluminum polish to buff it will look good but it a lot of work.

Thanks. The big tar spots I have removed just can't get the stains off without sanding which I don't wanna really do.

Anyone else have this conquered?

Your best bet would be to sand them and then polish them with a very good polish like Adams 1 and Adams 2. I did that with my WS6 wheels, Fikse wheels and CCW wheels. Works like a charm as long as you keep going finer and finer with the grit.
