Umm, yeah, well, err... if the wheels wern't waxed and cleaned
regularly you may be SOL. Thers's some stuff called, I think P21s
sold for this purpose; any allow wheel cleaner should work. The stuff
is a strong alkalai; in theory lye will work, but it might be time
to take 'em off, sand sand sand, they apply 5 coats of Wurth silver
wheel paint and 2 coats of Wurth clearcoat. Let harden for a week
then wax and clean weekly.

Dan, the dealership has a spray-on wait a while and wash/brush off
cleaner that worked will on my grime and grit. Can't remember the name
off-hand, but like I said it was a MB product.

It's hard enough finding a set of decent 16" wheels that fit a 126.
17" ?
