Dirty Stain on Wheels

I noticed that on one of my wheels, there are these brown stains...they look like brown water stains or something and theyve stained the wheel! The other wheels are fine, as I clean the car at least once a week. What do they sell to get rid of this? I think this happened when the dealer sprayed the wheel with their washer and left it, but it didnt happen to the other ones? Im confused...What do I do thats not too expensive to fix this???

ive used any type of detailer that I used on the body of the car...i usually wash them when I wash the car...and Ive waxed/polished them whenever I do the car too...that usually helps cover it a little, but not for long. It just looks like dirty water stains and its gross to look at

get a little thing called turtle wax rubbing compound. take a towell and rub it in. you really have to rub it hard, work the compound into it and it should take away any stains. it works for me?

A good wheel cleaner, a brush and high pressure water should remove it. I had it on my rear wheels when I first got my CL

the turtle wax compound stuff worked like 97%...it got most of it off even though it was a little hot outside and I wanted to finish. wheels look new!
