Doesn't seem to be any damage to the finish and no signs of peeling or water getting in so hoping there is a way to clean/polish back to the original finish?

Suggestion

try some "mothers" or autosol - then once done coat them with a really good wheel sealant like gtechniq and dont use wheel acid on them - a decent pH neutral wheel cleaner would be "dish soap" by dodo juice.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I fitted a set of refurbished sport design wheels after getting my car last June which had been finished with the original polished outer rims. When cleaning the car last weekend i noticed a few spots of discoloration on the polished faces. Doesn't seem to be any damage to the finish and no signs of peeling or water getting in so hoping there is a way to clean/polish back to the original finish? Anyone have any recommendations?

POST 2Original post

try some "mothers" or autosol - then once done coat them with a really good wheel sealant like gtechniq and dont use wheel acid on them - a decent pH neutral wheel cleaner would be "dish soap" by dodo juice. or you could apply a coating of vaseline to the polished rim two or three times a year, thats what you have to do with an anodised rim.

Thanks - will give the autosol a try. I use AG Magma for cleaning my wheels which says its PH neutral. I had assume the polished parts were sealed with lacquer but perhaps not

POST 4Original post

they could well be................but it might be the lacquer thats stained a little - even some snow foams could do that if they are pH neutral
