Default How to clean rims?

I have a problem I bought some rims a while ago and I just noticed my dog marked his territory on them. I have been to busy and don't know how long it was on there don't think it was more that a week, I washed the car and there is some parts that still have the green on there. Mostly on the rivets. Does anybody know how or what I could use to take that off? Thanks.

Do the wheels have a clear-coat applied to them? If so, it is possible that you may have a bigger problem on your hands as the coat might be damaged.

If they are just chrome or polished aluminum, you should be able to use a nice chrome polishing compound on them and will be fine. I would head this over to the Detailing section of MF's and will find some peopes who are familiar with this issue.
