Rust on wheels
I just picked up a set of Speedline wheels. Some of the bolts left a small amount of rust residue on the wheel. Any suggestions?
Also, even after lots of wheel cleaner and elbow grease, one wheel still has some dirt on the front part. is there any product I can use to clean this up without marring the finish?
Thanks

Thanks Steve
I actually removed the little rust I had with a metal polishing compound and I used my dremel to get in the nook and crannies. It worked great.
I am going to try the red clay on the back to see how it works.
Thanks for the info.

Once the loose rust has been removed, apply two coats (allowing first coat to dry) of a rust inhibitor paint (POR-15 Rust Inhibitor, allow drying (3-6 hours) between coats.
