How do I clean this?

Vehicle sat a few days after the last rain and water collected in the rim and left this mark. I’ve tried soap and water already but no luck.

anyone have any ideas?

 

I would try a water spot remover.

Is there any texture to it when you run your finger over it?

 

Vinager.

 

Equal parts water/vinegar works well.

 

Looks like hard water deposits. If you have water spot remover for paint I'd try that or lime away. It states that lime away is safe on most surfaces including paint.
As stated above water and vinegar may work too.

 

yes there’s texture when I run my fingers

 

I don’t believe the clear coat is gone.

 

Did you try isopropyl alcohol?

 

i have not tried anything other than water and soap. Going to make a run at it with everyone’s suggestions tomorrow.

 

Can you like scrape that off w/ your fingernail or is it smooth to the paint?

 

There’s something on top. I can scrape it but I don’t wanna scrape and mess up with paint.

 

Lime away is definitely great! But I haven't tried it on anything other than bath surfaces. I would try the rubbing alcohol first.

 

Rubbing alcohol works best on glass. I’d try lime away last as it’s the most caustic. Try the 50/50 mix of vinegar/water first. If you need a bit stronger you can make the mix stronger or put straight vinegar on a rag and rub the area and rinse with clean water then dry.

 

I've used this on my truck and it definitely has vinegar in it:

Just in case anyone was wondering I was able to remove it. It was really bad water spots. This product removed it with one wipe.

thanks for all the suggestions though

 

such a relief to see someone actually use the right product for the problem.

 

I hate that about my ray 10s water just stays and collects on that same spot

 

lol true! one time i found a tiny frog chillin in my ray10's pool of water. so annoying!

 

Same here. I live in a rural area and on occasion animals urinate into my rims lol. It never leaves stains though. Just pools of pee lol

 

I use Turtle Wax Seal & Shine ceramic spray on my SCS wheels. I get the same spots but they will wipe right off with a wet microfiber towel. I know there are some higher end ceramic wheel coatings but can’t beat the ease of use and price on some of these new sprays.
