I would try washing them with soap and water and see if it comes off.

NEVER use generic wheel cleaner, the acids will etch the finish. Try claybar to see if that removes the spots. If not, you'll have to try polishing them.

That's pretty much correct. They do offer some good wheel cleaning gels but like Dave said most of your over the counter products are very acidic and are not good on the wheels.

I think after they wash your car they didn't dry the wheel either.. Hard water can leae really bad spot..
