How do you take rust stains off a light alloy wheel?
I have a 2000 ZX3 with Sparkle wheels and they have rust stains on them.
I am looking for a product to remove the stains. Is CLR too corrosive?

I'm guessing the rust is from something else rusting and running onto
the rims. I would try soft buffing comounds, even give a go at using
a little tooth paste on a rag and lots of elbow grease.
Now this is a guess, since I can't see how bad or what caused the
stains.

You are correct. The alloys themselves are not rusting. I think it is
from the rear drums which rust a little on the outside and the rust then
transfers to the alloys.

Toothpaste sounds like a safe way to start, thanks. Any more suggestions.

robust is not indestructable

Good point. Just figured if it was a persistant stain, the protective
coating is damaged or gone. That's why only through observation and
testing cleaning techniques can you accurately hit this problem.
Pluse remember to fix the source of the rust too.
