Got my 20's back on but had some issues...

So I get my wheels back on, they are pretty dirty from sitting in my garage. And I see there is some dirt on them, I think no big deal, just wash them and I will be fine.

Well, the washing didn't work and there are spots on them like they were driven down a gravel road. So I use detail spray, no luck, use all purpose cleaner, scrubbed and scrubbed didn't work. Now I'm thinking use the Porter cable and buff them out. But before that, I take my clay bar with Detail spray to them. And it worked like magic and got them brand new looking again!!! I am very very very impressed with the clay bar.
