water spots on wheels
 
how do you get rid of these spots on the wheels? I'm having a tough time removing them from my matte black wheels.

Don't know how to remove the water spots but once u get them off apply poorboys wheel sealant. I applied it right after I got my matte black volks and have no water spots. Also it doesn't make them shiney like most wheel waxes

are they OE wheels that were coated or aftermarket? Cleaner wax will do it, sometimes a mix of white vinegar and water will sometimes take water spots out. I always use Klasse all in one which is a cleaner sealant. Works very well.

Start with vinegar and a plush microfiber... don't scrub overly aggressively as you can cause 'spots' where you rub on the matte finish.

Once they're removed (as weird as this will sound) use you're preferred tire dressing (provided its not a really oily silicone style high gloss one) and apply it to the wheels. It will make them dark without making them appear shiny and even out the coloring.

oh ok... powder coated or painted? I'm just wondering what kind of texture they are.

hmmm I don't know.. i'd never powder coat my rays, but everyone has a different taste. I would try to either do as Dylan suggested or maybe try a cleaner wax, but make sure that after you do get them clean to use some sort of protection on them whether it's wheel wax, or the Armor All wheel protectant is very good stuff as well. I was quite surprised by it.
