Clear stain on wheels by lug nuts?

anyone else have this? How to remove? elbow grease doesn't seem to do the trick

Goo-Gone did the trick for me.

I had it too. Like a yellowish stain? I sold mine before figuring out how to remove it, though I did try. Didn't want to use something that removed the stain and the clearcoat right while I was selling them.

thanks......................i'll try it.

Toothpaste works really well in getting out stains on rims.

I have it too, i will try the toothpaste, thanks!

It's wax guys. Dunno how it got there, but you can scrape it off with your fingernail. Some hot water, terry cloth towel, and some elbow make it go bye bye

I have it too and the lug nuts are sticky...it may be a wax that holds the lug nuts in the machine that bolts on the wheels at the factory.

I used Meguiar's Hot Rims cleaner... does the trick.

 

Keefe

Goo-Gone +2

It's a wax protectant applied at the factory to prevent corrosion on the lug nuts and their seating area. As the wheels heat up it "melts" and runs out onto the wheels.

 

Goo Gone takes care of it very quickly.

Ha, corrosion on the lug nuts:lol: Wonder why most of mine are rusted. Been that way since I picked up the car. Just had 3k oil change and waiting for new ones to come in. There going to replace them

Weird- my nuts are fine and I cleaned that gunk off of them back when I first got the car.

hmmmm, i was wondering what that was too. I'll have to get out there and get that gunk off too once this snow stops.

goo gone isnt to harsh?? can i also use goo gone for the sticky stuff left by the warning signs on the sun shades?

Goo-Gone isn't too harsh for wheels. I've never used it on visors.

when you find a good way to get the warnings off the visors, do share.

Isn't Goo-Gone kind of oily? I would be inclined to try an upholstery cleaner on the visor first.

Routine good hygene should prevent any sticky buildup, so you won't have to worry about using any harsh cleaners on your nuts.

Those nuts are in a bag right now. I have another set for the Rota wheels.
