    Sounds like you need some PB spray & rinse and some good wheel brushes.

    Re: rust spots on rims

    Those are anodized rims and then clear coated in most cases..the crappy part is brake dust if not cared for over time will etch the finish...in most cases clay can remove the spots you are seeing...if they are on the surface like small dots, then use some brake cleaner and a plastic scrapper...I have a plastic scrapper that looks like a thick credit card...

    You want to polish those after with something like PB PP or the likes of that.
