18” Wheel Stains

I’d love to get these wheels stains off of my new to me gs450h. Looking to tap into the collective CL wisdom database. Thanks!

Maybe try some clay bar and light paint polish to try to buff out the stain?

What have you tried so far? clay bar is a good idea, and I have had success with brake cleaner and a good scrub in the past. Whatever you use, make sure to wash it off well.

Looks like the paint was damaged from some chemical or you used a wheel claner, didn't rinse it off properly, and it burned the paint when the wheels heated up. Happened to a few members here.
