Default Stains on Factory 17's

My wife has some sort of stains/ discoloring on the factory 5 spoke 17's. I think its from some cheap armor-all we have at work that sat on the wheels for some time and stained them. I've tried all sorts of polishes and waxes and can't seem to get them out. Anybody have any idea on how to get them out? Or ever have the wheels re-coated??? Searched with no luck.

I had the same thing on my 17's five stars. I tried everything to get those stains off too and nothing working. Post a pics of the wheels.... I would really like to know how those ugly stains can get removed too.

I ended up selling them and got some esky's that where clean, then came ocross 17's five stars but this time much cleaner than my first set definately.

Im pretty sure they are cleared to protect the "machined" look, not sure, but the clear could be stained.
