Default Weird Mark on Rim...

Anyone know what this could be from or, more importantly, how to remove a mark like this? I just noticed it while spraying my truck to wash it. It is not a scratch or chip or anything like that. It looks like just paint transfer from something. Truck is 4 weeks old and I tried scrubbing it off but no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Try using WD40/Liquid wrench to wipe off.

Try some 3000 grit emory cloth and wet sand it. Follow that with Meguiars wheel polish. Use at your own risk but I've been successful with this method on my Limited rims.

First thing I would try would be a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Back in the day, meter maids would "chalk" you tire as a reference to see if you over stayed a limited time parking space.

I have tons of these in the house and didn't even think of it. Just tried and it came right off. Idk what it was or where it came from but I was scrubbing with the wash mit and soap and water when washing the truck. However, a quick 0ass over with a magic eraser and it is gone. Thanks for the idea.
