I have the Ronal R41 wheels on my car. Spokes are painted and lip is polished Aluminum.
Heres my problem:
While cleaning them with Mother's Mag Polish I noticed that the poilshed area has some water spots or stains that are very stubborn. Tried a polishing compound and still no good. These are very stubborn stains and they're annoying as hell. It was suggested to me that I try Mother's Billet Aluminum polish. Anyone have any other ideas?

If it's a mineral deposit -- try Lime-A-Way. But your compound should have gotten that.

Yes.I did try a very mild abrasive compound and to no avail. I'll see what happens when I get the new products that are coming.

Have you tried SoftScrub? I use that on my motorcycle rims...works well for me.

Isn't that a little too coarse for polished aluminum?

My motorcycle rims are billet...and a smaller surface so I have never noticed any type of scratches. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. You may want to try a small area and see if it is too abrasive before doing the whole wheel.

Another Home Remedy

Try white vinegar and a soft cloth and some elbow grease!

White vinegar is excellent for water spots on metal surfaces, in my experience.
