fixable?

[stewie]

im polishing my rims right now, they've been kept outside in my shed for the winter period...but i guess water has gotten the best of them in some spots...

it looks like the clear coat has corrosion on it but im not sure what it is. anyways, whats the best route to go on this? so far im just scrubbing what i can with an old toothbrush to get all the dirt out of the nooks and crannys, then following with some nano polish...but i want these rims to be lookin good!

any help here?

sorry i dont have a camera, but basically, some of this crap is flaking off...but other parts of it...not so much...safe to use steel wool on this? or something like CLR or what? what can remove these corrosion stains??

if it's flaking off, you can't fix that. you have to refinish them. later.

Or take it all off and polish it, to get polished aluminium wheels
What wheels are they? Oem or aftermarket alloys?
