Question New rims have dark stains.

Iv'e just bought some new style 44 rims and they have some stains that look like brake dust, but they will not come off with just washing, is there a polish or soap that I can use to remove those stains?

I would suggest a quality metal polish like the P21S Finish Restorer. Just apply a drop to a soft cloth/app and wipe the area with medium pressure. It's my go to product for stubborn stains on bare metals and clear coated wheels.

thank but I discovered that the problem was that the wheel was missing some paint and clear coat.
