Some of the Mothers Products, as wall as other are a fine abrasive, like
rubbing compounds. Depending upon the finish of the wheel, ie smooth,
brushed, etc; you can use sandpaper, then abrasive compund to work the spots
out. Then be sure to paint the wheels with several good coats of clearcoat.

Try a product called Mother's Mag & Aluminium Polish (Mother's is the brand
name). It is a cream type polish that you rub on and then wipe off. I used
to use it for polishing chrome and aluminum on an 18-wheeler that got really
dirty and there was nothing that it wouldn't clean up real quick. Last time
I got some I got it at a truck stop but I think Mother's products are
becoming more widely available so you might find it at a parts store. Highly
recommended.

Mike,
This isn't simply dirt or mud. These are STAINS, chemically etched on the
wheels. I am afraid no amount of scrubbing or polishing with a cloth is
going to work. I am about ready to get out the 1500 grit wet sand paper and
go at them!
