what kind of wheels do you have? with different finishes there are different ways, and you do NOT way to just try whatever.

I'll post some pics of what I mean...

so it's totally chrome? it's either polished or chrome and if it's polished, it could have clear coat or not

if it's chrome, hopefully the dust didn't eat into the chrome. if so, stuck
if it's polished with no clear coat, just get some polish compound and rub the hell out of it. that should do it
if it's polished with clear coat, the getting paint polish is the best you could do. i would be surprised if the dust actually ate through the clear coat?

Polish Lip with no Clear Coat, I have learned more about these wheels in the past few days that I have ever had in my life time

Here is a pic, sorry for the size, took with my camera phone

oh and i forgot, TONS of elbow grease

also, try to put on some latex gloves before using a useless cloth to apply the polish. the cloth is probably loss afterwards, and you want the glove otherwise your hand will get all black afterwards (and hard to wash them off)

Is this the same metal polish?

the one i have is the "paste" type, which i think is stronger and better?? it's like a little plastic can with blue cap

there is a spray that they use at dealership and detail that cleans ev thing off of the wheels. you just spray on and rinse off right away... no scrubbing necessary and really quick.
