Need help cleaning wheels
I just got new wheels a couple of months ago. Spokes are painted and there is a polished lip. The lip seems to have a buildup of water spots/brake dust. It looks kinda clean after washing but there is a film the dulls the lip. I have used eagle one rim cleaner and Mother mag and aluminum polish.

Any suggestions on what to use?

HOT WIRE wheel cleaner they use it at de-tail shops down here takes EVERYTHING off but its a acid mix might not be good on painted wheels....
