brown stains on inside of wheels

My brand new TSX has brown stains on the inside of the wheels. I think it is the protectant they spray on at the factory.

What can I use to remove it?

Thx

Try soap and water and wipe off with a MF towel. If that doesn't work use a polish by hand, and it should come right off.

Could be break in brake pad dust......."should" come off with some wheel cleaner. Get some protection (polymer) on them asap.

removed all four tires/wheels and the stains came right off with soap and water. Waxed the inside and reinstalled. Noticed the Acura wheels are made by Enkei.

What do you all use when removing the tires and wheels? Do you do one at a time or put the car up on jack stands?

All I have is a basic floor jack, so I just do one wheel at a time. Or, remove one wheel, replace with spare, and then remove another wheel so I can do two at a time.

I used a floor jack and removed one at a time. Just left it jacked up while I washed and cleaned each tire/wheel.
