I’ll get some up tomorrow.

Great. I think I have the same wheels you have and would be interested in what you have going on. I can do my best in helping you out as well if I can tell what is going on visually.

That is from brake dust being left on the surfaces too long.

Use this: https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/products/meguiars-ultimate-compound-g17216-152-oz-liquid OR any polishing compound you prefer.

Going to take a little bit of time and care, but that will clean those pockets right up. After you do that make sure you use whatever type of wax you prefer and wax the pockets and might as well do the painted wheel surfaces as well. Waxing the pockets and the wheels on a regular basis (everyone has their own opinions on length of time in between) will prevent that from ever happening again along with regular washing of course.

Thank you! I appreciate the help!
