For your wheels I would use three products to wash, polish and protect them. I clean them with the P21S Metal Polishing Soap. Just dunk the supplied sponge in water and wipe it across the soap and you'll have a rich lather that breaks up brake dust and road grime while shining the wheel. If the wheel has really embedded brake dust, chemical stains or watermarks like you describe I would use the P21S Finish Restorer. This is the deepest cleaning metal polish I have used and is great on exhaust tips and other metal surfaces. Now to protect your wheels apply the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant. This product will apply a micro thin barrier between your wheels and brake dust that comes off your brake pads at several hundred degrees. It helps prevent pitting and heavily built up brake dust. It also reduces the amount of time you spend cleaning your wheels in the future. This is basically my own personal wheel care combo that I like to use.

We are located in NY so shipping to Boston should take one day if you'd like to purchase these products from Detailed Image.Let me know if you have any other questions about these products or how to remove those marks.

i wiped down the wheels, then used P21S Finish Restorer, nothing.

then i used a buffer on my drill with the product and got some good results...

there are still a few small stains...

then i waxed the wheels with Meguiar's Gold Class.

BTW, Flitz polish SUCKS

Yea no matter what products you use sometimes you need a lot of elbow grease or even a drill/buffer to help get the job done. The picture of the wheels looked very good! Let us know if you have any other questions we can help you with.
