Stains on rims?

Have some pretty nasty stains on my 16" alloys which I assume is from brake dust...sort of yellowish stains that don't want to seem to come off. I probably should have cleaned them a bit earlier but with the nasty weather it has been a pita


I know other folks must have these...if you tried to remove them and was able to, what did you use?

Maybe the dogs in your neighborhood keeping marking their territory Seriously though, I have the same rims and have not noticed this problem.

That is from driving through yellow snow I don't have it on mine but one of my wife's vehicle had something like what you are talking about. That brake dust sort of eats it way into the clear coating. There maybe a cleaner and would also would like to know. Otherwise you just have to wash the wheels constantly to keep it for even starting.

I should mention that it is only on the front wheels.....I got most of it off with some wet wheel wipes that is supposed to clean rims etc....took most of it off but still is showing stains...not really about this if it won't come off! Never had this issue at all with previous cars with alloys....very odd
