just went to clean my wheels after about a month and when i did it seemed there was still the black shite stuck to it..

on the right i used brasso.. only thing i have that would get it off and this was after 20 mins hard rubbing.. the other wheels are worse than this.

Muc Off wheel cleaner. Then Muc Off Silica wheel seal to form a barrier making them easier to clean in the future...

Looks like a polished rim so you need metal polish to get it back.. You will be doing it all winter though and they'll eventually get way to pitted and be fooked.. Time for winter wheels!!
