Water Spots on wheel

[Jscb23]

I have not found anything to remove the water spots yet. Does anyone have any brands they use that work?

Did you try wax or any specific rim cleaner?

You should try the Chemical Guys heavy duty water spot remover. That said depending on how long those spots have been there they may have etched in to the clear coat and need a more aggressive process to remove.

By the looks of the rims and hubs, that's not only water spots but a build up of dirt that's ground in or burnt in. I would suggest Diablo Gel wheel cleaner from Chemical Guys along with wheel woolies brushes. It'll probably take more than one time to get those wheels back to black. My 22 ST was delivered with the hubs looking like yours. I ended up getting them pristine after 3 times of washing and using the Diable Gel and wheel woollies (make sure you use good microfiber type wheel woollies, otherwise you have scratches). After I got the wheels pristine, I polished them and ceramic coated.

Treat them like the paint on your car. Clean and clay bar. Next use Meguiar's 105 Ultra Cut then 205 Ultra Finishing Polish to get the spots off. After that ceramic coat it to help keep the spots off. Looks like you are parked near a lawn sprinkler to make all of those deposits on your wheels.

Here is a picture of the rim as delivered and what they are today.

I had that problem, but got them ceramic coated and it took care of the problem.

No disrespect ... I know everybody knows hard water is the problem .
I had the same thing happened to me several times .
My solution might seem unorthodox but I went to the store and brought a outdoor/RV water filter and attached it to my water spigot before the water hose.
This has worked excellent for me it changed my car washing experience .

Not unorthodox at all. I have been using this system for years to wash my vehicles. https://www.amazon.com/CR-Spotless-DIC-20-Motorcycles-Water/dp/B072FJTX8X?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1
