I think there is something(minerals) in the TX water or rain that really makes this happens everytime nver had this prblem up Midwest.
I wash it off every time i see it but its very difficult to keep it off, i once fot so irritated and washed the wheels every 2days just to avoid seeing those dried up whitish/salty water spots but as soon as they dry or in 2hrs here comes the dang*on spots again.

>i normally use eagle one never dull an then wipe it down.

> the hard part/job is in wiping it down real good but sometimes the water spots are so resistant that u can still see them a little so to work it off... I try to spend abt 30 mins/wheel to really get it off.

so the question is what am i doing wrong or what should i be doing.

i was thinking washing it with just plain h2o and soap might wrk but its seems tedious becos the wets rims just create even more mess and needs to be dried well b4 u can even polish or use never dull.

is there any wax chrome safe that cud help, amoroil just doesnt do it.

no acidic or alakaline chemicals pls those will eat up ur wheels or chrome with time = oxidation spots

I will also try ur suggestion above,
Now what does the white vinegar do ?
& I believe Nufinish is some sort of wax right ??
