Had to park next to the sprinklers in the driveway for about a year. The wheels on my truck’s driver side we’re getting soaked every night and then baked in the AZ sun.. Any way of getting rid of the water spots, or are they trashed?

Try straight up vinegar...if vinegar won’t get rid of the hard water spot, then they are trashed.

This all day. In my deck handing days it's all we used on glass and stainless. If that doesn't fix the problem, nothing will.

I’m thinking they are trashed, I don’t see how that much buildup could come off. Sickening.. The passenger wheels are all fine at least Unsure

Where are you Brad?
There are a bunch of wheel repair guys out there.
I know one here that turned around a King Ranch wheel in one day, and it was broken from being curbed.
I drive a GMC, so you can guess who broke a Ford.

That’s what I’m afraid of, but I don’t think it could get any worse honestly

Not yet, but I’m a bit skeptical. It didn’t seem that effective on YouTube LOL I might give it a go tomorrow though

A decent wheel guy could probably fix it for pretty cheap.
