Whats this on my alloys?

[Thrill]

Got this stuff all over my four alloys, its like engrained in. Iron x, smart wheels, tardis, g101 all do not touch it. I can't even use a brush to rub it off, it kinda needs to be picked off.

What is it? How do I remove it? Ive attached a picture!

My old Peugeot alloys used to gather dirt where the spokes met the outer rim and it was often really tricky to move. I used a microfibre cloth and SRP to shift it. Simple chemical application of Bilberry and the like did nothing and an abrasive product with elbow grease was required. Good luck

Doesn't look like brake dust, looks more like you driven through something etc. really hard to tell from this picture but it could very well be the lacquer has lifted leaving you with bare paint!

I was about to guess they're peeling. But got beaten to it. Sad times..

Looks like I have the same thing

Tired everything to get it off won't budge. Such a shame as apart from that the car was nearly mint when I bought it

The alloys are wrecked anyway, need a refurb!

Sam, that just looks like rusty pad dust. Iron x will remove that!
