My brother and law brought overs his car for me to wash, these wheels have NOT been washing in 9 months they were black

Before

My issues, Some wheels "clean streaks " on them and that leads me to believe they are not totally clean.
or the Wheel cleaner streaked them ( i used M-DUB and 2:1 Purple Power)

-Did the Wheel cleaner streak them?

Some have abrasive marks on them i noticed, he said he used a "green sponge pad from the kitchen to clean them last time".
They seem the be scratched.

Questions
1) Can i let them soak with a strong wheel cleaner?
2) Can i M105 and M205 them?
3) What sort of cleaning pad can i use to scrub them cleaner? (the brush isn't cutting it.)

I have not clayed them yet.

Any advice out there?
 
You have to scrub any wheel cleaner, looks like just dirt that needs scrubbed in the sides of the wheel. Use a wheel woolie plus your wheel cleaner of choice.

Thanks,
Picked up some woolies off today. Any advice on the light scratches? M105 or 205 on them?
 
I hope you didn't use those to products together.That wheel cleaner on that wheel looks damaging and horrific.
 
Trying to polish out fine scuffing pad abrasion will take a lot of time and patience.I wouldn't apply any more wheel cleaner to the face of the wheel,it looks lifeless and tired of cleaning chemicals and the scuff pad.not to mention he probably took away some clear.

What do you recommend as a fine Abrasion pad?
 
If you have M205, give that a quick try. It looks kind of toasted from the pics though.

If it shows improvement, but is slow, switch up to the 105.
