Okay, so I was cleaning my stock alloy wheels on my s14. Well I was using hte wheel cleaner on the wheel but I couldnt get the stains off of the wheel. Im pretty sure the stains were from my brake fluid which was splashing all over the wheel because i didnt tighten my steel brake lines enough. Well i tried to clean it with the wheel cleaner, didnt work. So i was looking around and decided to try carb cleaner i saw laying around. Well, to make a long story short, the carb cleaner fukked up my front drivers side wheel. I need help on how i can get this off because it left a white residue on the wheel i cannot get off. I tried wd-40, dish soap, wheel cleaner, pumic hand cleaner.

HOW CAN I CLEAN THESE THINGS BACK TO NORMAL???? :doh:

purple power... used it on mine and they where like brand-fuckin new!

but remember it's a harsh abrasive...so be careful around the paint and what not...

i would try heavy duty engine degreaser. i would be careful not to get that stuff on the paint though cause it might harm the paint.
