You can try a clay bar and or compound, but the nail polish remover will probably work best.

My point exactly

Anyways...I think I'll try the Clay bar first...if that doesn't work I'll try the nail polish remover.

For the guys suggesting Nail Polish Remover...are you sure it won't affect the clear coat on the rims? I think it would be easier...but I don't wanna come back 6 months later and see clear coming off the rim.

Rubbing Compound by 3M. Black bottle which is about 7 bucks.

Rubbing compound didn't work...started leaving scratches. Going to try the Clay Bar tonight.

Anyone have any other ideas?
