Default I hate WATER...

Whats the best way to remove water stains. They're on my rims (polished). Ive scrubbed the hell out of them with the Honda cleaner...nothing.

Tried the polish... Didn't work. Never thought of vinegar. I'll give it a try. Thanks

If that doesn't work, you can use the lightest possible steel wool. It's like '0000' at Menards. I used to detail a lot of cars and that steel wool is light enough to work on aluminum or chrome. Just be light at first and test the results and DO NOT HIT ANY PAINTED SURFACE WITH IT ESPECIALLY BLACK.
