i've heard a lot of possible solutions and got a lot of interesting suggestions when I faced this problem with the wheels on my CRX, and you know what? The stains, small as they are, are still there. I've yet to find anything to take stains out of alloy wheels. I hate to sound like the pessimist, but I'd say to hell with it, maybe recoating them is the only way...
