Default Racing hart m5 3piece help!

Ok guys i have my SC sitting on some 3piece Racing Hart m5's and I made a mistake yesterday. I sprayed some Mag wheel chrome wheel cleaner and did not get the liquid off quick and now I have a milky white stain on my rear wheel. What are the lips on these rims composed of? Are they chrome, anodized aluminum, or polished aluminum? Oh and how do I remove the stain? Thanks

the acid in those abrasive chrome cleaners eats through clearcoat and polished metal. you might have to get them professionally repolished. mother mag cleaner or other mild polishing agents likely wont get the milky finish off but its worth a try since its super cheap compared to getting them repolished.

mild soap and water is plenty to clean wheels.. i dont know why people bother with chemicals. good luck.
