Is that a chromed steel rim? It kinda looks like aluminum alloy. If so, best way to clean is with Scotch-Bright sponge and detergent. The spots in the photo may not come out completely, but you'll probably be able to fade them some.
Hello fellow @GTs58, @bobcycles, @WES PINCHOT and all restoration specialists! What products and methods are best used to clean old dried tar/oil off chrome?
I use GoJo hand cleaner the Original White formula. You can even use it on paint.Will clean just about anything removes grease. Can you on parts you don’t want to over clean also
3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover - part # 08984. I bought an 84 Buick Riviera convertible from a guy who was selling it because he couldnt afford to have it repainted. It had set under a large pine tree and was covered with sap. It took me two cans of the adhesive remover and a bundle of rags but the sap came off and the paint was fine. (Did have to put a new top on it though.) Given a little time and attention it will literally melt road tar without damaging the paint underneath it. Once you have a can of it in your garage, you'll wonder how you got along without it.
Thanks everyone! Typically the WD40 works great. However, @GTs58 was right. What I initially thought was a grime/oil/etc on the rim was actually acidic damage to the chrome.
