SEROUIS grime on alloy rims.. Will not come off.

[Juicy555]

Hello everyone. I own a 98 Accord v6 Coupe with the 15" Alloy rims. 3 of the 4 are in pretty good looking shape but 1 of them is just crappy looking. There is this crap, mud looking stuff stuck like its welded on to the rims. I have tried 3-4 times Eagle wheel cleaner ( supposedly very strong ), multiple car washes, and a bunch of car cleaner stuff of it but it doesn't even move. I tried taking one of those thing blades you use for taking of chipped paint, I ended up just putting scratches into the rim.

What am I supposed to do? I thinking of painting my rims white soon but I think that would get in the way hehe...

edit: I will take pics tomorrow.

Just use aircraft paint remover and sand down the wheels to prep it for paint.

You might be able to use gunkoff. Its pretty strong it removes things like tar. I would look into that and see if that might help with your specific situation.
