Default Cat Urine/Spray in Wheel

I did a search but couldn’t find an answer. I’ve had a cat spray my 2019 rear Tri glide wheel and now it appears etched.
  1. Is the wheel coated at all?
  2. Does anyone know how to remove the etching or stain?

Thanks in advance!

Let's see a picture of the wheel if you can post one. Wash it well then I'd try Never Dull if they are chrome or Mothers Chrome Polish. Then the cat is another issue.

You can also use "Bartenders Friend" liquid to initially clean and buff it out . Then I use "Flitz Polish Cream" to finish the polish. If you can find a good ceramic finish to put on it will keep all the brake dust easy to wash off also.

Wenol metal polish and some elbow grease should take it out.

Don't go getting yourself in trouble for "discharging a firearm in the city limits"! Feed the cat! Tuna is loved by most cats, and be careful that no antifreeze from a leaky overflow canister leaks in the tuna.
Sounds like some of the polishing ideas are good.
