Default water spot on wheels....

I got some OEM non chromed Infiniti G35 wheels and they have water spots on them. I have searched and searched and found out that vinegar works on the body on autopia.org but would this work for wheels also?? Or is there a better method?

If there is a clear coat on the wheels that would work. If they are silver then they may have a clear coat. If the were chrome you could just polish the heck out of them to get rid of the water spot. The face of my wheels have a clear coat and I have to wax them every once in a while when there is a stubborn stain

A good wax and some polisher would do it. I use Zymol with some fine polish...does wonders.
