I have alloy wheels and I can't get one to come clean. There was break dust on the wheel when the sprinklers got them wet. Of course it happened in the middle of summer in 120 degree heat. Now I have black water spots on the wheel that will not come off. I thought carb cleaner might work but I don't know if carb cleaner is safe for alloy.
I tried s.s. cleaner which did nothing. If I can't use carb cleaner whatelse can I use that is safe for alloy?
What is safe to use on paint with hard water spots? I have tried all the products that says it will remove water spots they don't work. I have also tried scratch removers and swirl removers which did not work. I have tried those decontaminating waxes to no avail. I have not tried those clay waxes not sure if I should. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't use it on there. A lot of alloy wheels have a clear coat that can be damaged by the carb cleaner.
Just get some normal degreaser or brake dust remover and spray away.
