Hey guys! New to the club! I recently purchased a 987
Cayman
that came with
911S
rims, and I'm trying to figure out what these stains are on the rims, and a solution to getting rid of them. They're all over each rim, and I have no clue as to what this could be?
Any suggestions or insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks y'all!
it’s hard to tell… I’d start with dawn soap, see how that works… I’m not certain if there is a clear on these wheels… do those spots feel like there is an edge and or a raised or chipped feeling?? They looked like there a little corroded from the previous person not cleaning them enough
I would suggest a quality car polish followed by a good coat of wax. Generally, our wheels are painted and require the same care our painted body panels require.
Before the wax try some 3M finess it II and try hand budding those out… I should have included this above but I got hungry lol
and what he said^
They're not chipped, edged or raised feeling, I feel like it's some sort of corrosion or water spots? After washing the rims numerous times, it doesn't disappear, so will probably need to try the methods posted below!
Cool deal, hoping this fixes the issue! Will give it a shot soon. Would you happen to have any specific polish recommendations that you've used before on rims? Alongside your suggestion of wax?
3M finess it is a good non abrasive place to start
That even sounds like good safe choice.
3M and Finesse

Scratch X from Maguire's is a good product to keep around too. Surprisingly effective without damaging clear coats and at a reasonable price.
I kinda forgot about mother’s mag and aluminum polish too… normally of course that works best on bare metal surfaces but it also removes stains.. it’s obviously not abrasive at all since it the last thing you do when buffing bare aluminum…. You sure don’t see polished out wheels anymore… lips only really.. I had a set of CCW’s on my NSX all polished out… sadly nowadays most people think there chrome
