firebird Rims

I am trying to get my clean and not sure what cleaner i should use. I got some from wal-mart and it took a little it off. There is some stuff that would not come off. These are the type rims that i have.

If you look you can see what i am talking about

it may be that your clear-coat is screwed, that is a common accurance with third-gen wheels. there are lost of posts on how to strip and polish those rims, just do a search for wheel polishing and it will return plenty. I know it sounds like a lot of work (and it is) but it is worth it.::

That castrol wheel cleaner works just fairly. If you want to really really clean and strip them well, buy the castrol engine degreaser in the same color bottle from wal-mart. Be warned, it will strip any chrome or silver painting you may have on it... It does work really well though.
