it still amazes me that people will continue to ask for help, yet wont provide any details whatsoever of what they want or what they have done.

what are the stains?
where on the rim are the stains?
what is "the stuff" you used to clean them?
where is a picture of the stains so everyone know what your talking about?
why isnt this info already provided in the first place?

I'd say its brake fluid that has seeped out, or just general road grime.

how "wet" are the rims when you "wipe" them, I sometimes have this same problem, and end up using a virtually dry cloth to wipe them, then wash them...or even a "non scratching" 3M scourer of some sort...
