I believe the problem you have is similar to what we would call "rail dust" on cars...that is fine metal particles kicked up by the wheels of the trains carrying cars to they're destination would settle onto the cars in transit and leave small little rust spots all over them..mostly not too noticeable unless you had a white car. The same effect happens on white or silver aluminum wheels from metal particles coming off your brake rotors. The best solution we had was to wash the wheels down with oxalic acid --i.e. wood bleach which can be found at most hardware stores. It may require a few treatments to remove it all and you could also try Mequiars' Car Clay found at most parts stores. Good Luck!!

There are products for sale to attempt this now yet be truly careful to study the precautions on them earlier figuring out to purchase. because some won't be able for use on the aluminum rims and could leave highlighted blotches. I actually have used regularly occurring break of day dish washing cleansing soap and a eco-friendly plastic cleansing pad and it has worked completely inspite of the actuality that. do no longer use any metallic pads inspite of the actuality that because that's going to gently scratch your rims up. also, basically FYI, brake dirt is fantastically poisonous and is undemanding to reason maximum cancers if breathed in. So earlier you start up to do some thing that includes brake dirt hit it with a tender coat of water first to lead away from the dirt from starting to be airborne.

Armoral sells a great rims product. Spray it on, let it sit for about a minute or seven and then scrub with scrub brush or something and then rinse clean.
It works great. I use it alll the time!
