this will remove whatever spots you currently have:

Are you sure the wheels are not powder coated or painted? Vossen sent me rims that were not powder coated by accident and they looked horrible when I washed them with water marks all over. The matte silver rims have a machined front finish and the back part of the spokes are either painted or powder coated (im not sure which Vossen does) a silver finish.

what are you talking about... i'm pretty sure none of the Vossen rims are powdercoated.

i have the 086s matte silver. when i wash them they gets spots too, but once they dry you can't see any spots whatsoever.

vossen sent out a batch of rims that were not properly finished. i know this because i was one of the recipients. the wheels do have a finish on it other than the base. my first set of rims were not finished properly and consequently vossen sent me out a new set. like i said before, i am not sure if they are powder coated OR painted, but there is some sort of finish other than the base. my new rims have a slightly different color than the original base. whatever finish they put on the new rims leave no watermarks and are very easy to clean, unlike the first set.
