I personally recommend Blistex...I would never let wheel cleaner touch my lips! Brownish stain...not sure, but if it's more like a blister Blistex should be able to cure you no problem. Hope this helps!

ROFL!!! Uhhh....I think XxLS400xX was referring to a blemish on the lip of his wheel...not directly on the lips of his mouth (notice he made the reference to wheel cleaner ). So XxLS400xX, how did the blistex work on that lip blemish? LOL...thanx for the laugh guys.

id try a chrome cleaner/polisher. i would test it on the back side of your wheel to make sure there are no adverse affects first. you can also try a steal wool pad, but again i would try this on an unseeable part of the wheel to get familiar with how to keep from scratching the hell out of the wheel....

most likely the wheel cleaner stained the clear coat. It may have been on the acidic side. Unfortunately, there is no way to clean it except to remove the clear coat and re-polish the metal. Then if you want, clear coat it again. I don't know of anyone who will attempt to clear coat a rim.
