Spots on my OEM TSX wheels?

After washing my car and I cleaned my wheels I noticed that my wheels on the passenger both front and back had these spots on them. I tried to remove them with Maguire's hot wheels but it didn't remove them either. Does anyone know how to remove these almost white looking spots on my wheels? I will post pix tomorrow so the board can get a better understanding of the stains.

A sealant is basically a synthetic wax and can be applied to the wheel for additional protection. Some manufacturers have developed a sealant specifically for wheels to protect against brake dust from bonding, accumaulation of road conatminants and prevent water spots and giving it a gloss and shine. Check out the following products: PB Wheel Sealant, CG Wheel Guard or Wheel Wax.

Im suprised you would suggest a wheel wax. Most others say its just a gimmick.

I find Klasse AIO to be the perfect match for painted wheels.

A few alternative suggestions just thrown out. I was looking into the CG product, which is fairly new and their description sounded interesting. I haven't seen any reviews on it though. The PB wax is being used by a good number of folks.

I think the question has been what's in it that makes it so special? Theirs not much you can do about brake dust, its going to accumulate, so then its just a matter of making sure whatever amount does accumulate comes off easy. Which is what any good sealant would do for you.
