i bought brand new eagle wheels about a month ago so i decide to go down to oreillys and get some rim cleaner and then i go to the car wash and spray it on and they are all streaked up and stained. Does anyone know how to remove the stains?

Not all wheel cleaners are compatible with aluminum wheels. Most aluminum wheels have some sort of clearcoat on them so you have to purchase a wheel cleaner that is suitable for your wheels. Contact Eagle Wheels and they can point you in the right direction.

Get the POWER MINI BUFF BALL and some flitz polish, it'll get the stains out. And pay attention to the details! lol... Sorry dude. But seriously, the flitz polishing paste works fine on non clearcoated wheels too.

LOL, how long did you let the rim cleaner sit on the rims before you washed them off? I had a 350Z with aftermarket wheels, HUGE polished lip, all she got was warm water with regular car wash soap. Then a good dry. Didnt even chance spraying them down with a rim cleaner.

Are they polished aluminum or chrome? That makes a difference.
