Last week I went to rotate the tires on my 07 Camry with alloy wheels. One of the wheels refused to come off after i removed the lugs, so after hours of beating it with a dead blow hammer, i decided to spray some pb blaster in there. I finally managed to get the wheel off and went about my work as usual. When i put it back on, I cleaned off any remaining pb blaster that i could see. After driving my car for the next couple days, i noticed that the wheel was recoated in pb blaster, i’m guessing that the excess that remained on the hub splashed off onto the wheel as i drove the car. Now my wheel has brown pb blaster all over it and i can’t seem to get it off. I’m just hoping that it didn’t eat through the clear coat that’s on the rim. Has anyone had this happen and is there anything that i can use to clean this off?

Doing sooner is better than later in this case…
Why dont you start with a regular wash see if that helps at all.
Step up to some OTC claybar if you have it available
Or skip and
Next would be a dedicated chemical paint cleaner (I think Meguiars has a 1 2 nd 3 step system available with Step 1 being the paint cleaner from maybe Pepboys. There are a bunch of good OTC options otherwise too.
Next would be a mildly abrasive polish by hand to start- with hope that the stains are relatively superficial and not too deep
Then progression to a more moderate polish and so on
Sending you a PM…
