I got distracted and didn't anticipate how long each wheel would take me to clean (should have sprayed one at a time). By the time I got to the last wheel one spoke had some light white spray/streak marks. I thought it was just the dried cleaner or water spots but to my dismay it did not rub off. So....

What can I do to remove the streaks/spot marks? I have Klasse polish and sealant. Will that work? What made the marks? I hope I didn't ruin the finish on the wheel.
I dont know what is in the cleaners you used but the Toyota wheels have a clear coat on them so you don't clean them like an ordinary aluminum wheel. Hopefully all that has happened is that the cleaner attacked the clear coat. You may be able to sand out the blemish and just shoot that spot with new clearcoat.
