Stains on rims?

Anyone know how to remove these stains on the rims? I’ve removed the clear coat, and been polishing with a 3” wool pad at 2400 rpm with nubrite 7. It helped a little bit but there are still lots of these marks all over the rims.

All ideas welcomed. Click image for larger version

It will require using either a Scotch-Brite type pad or fine sandpaper.

Look up "Refinishing Aluminum Wheels" on Youtube, and you'll find your answer.

Enjoy,

The aluminum rim has surface corrosion, steel you get rust corrosion butt aluminum dose not rust butt it can corrode! (Deterioration below the surface) you can sand and polish a lot of it out, but you will still have freckles?

road chemicals, salt, and time are the bad guys for this.
