Steam cleaner. There is stuff at the shoppette that you can spray on. That should get it off.

Ther is some spray on stuff you can get at the ATU . I believe it is called CR21. Itis a green spray gel that uoi pump spray on and let it soak. It works wonderful for coated rims. but it usually takes a couple of hours to penetrate on really hard stuff.
Other alternative is the Full service Car wash , That stuff blast through any thing .

Simple Green works wonders also! Just don't use anything abrasive, as you'll regret it later.

cool guys thanks for the help I'll give it a shot although I have to admit that it was my fault for not cleaning them when I should have
Also I dont pcs for like over a year still but I was wanting to research on the best way to ship my car when I leave. I thinking the best thing would be to go private but bout how much does that cost and and where do you all stand on it.

You are looking about at a grand for shipping and then marine insurance is about 500 dollars for the voyage.

T-bone,
Shipped my wife's Dodge 4X4 extended cab over here from front door of my sisters house(Atlanta) to Bermerhaven for $1500, took 3 weeks from the day they picked it up. Arrived in PERFECT shape!! This time my car will go back through the private shipper and her truck will go military!!
