How to get rid of black residue on rims
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone has seen this before.
My alloy wheels have thousands of tiny black spots on them that just won't come off. I've tried:
- Regular wheel cleaner
- Thorough washing
- Iron remover (multiple applications)
Nothing seems to make any difference. The spots are still there and they almost look embedded in the finish.
Are these burnt-in brake dust particles, damaged clear coat, or something else? Has anyone managed to remove this kind of contamination?
I've attached a photo. Any advice or product recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
