Wheel Rims Coating Problem

does your detailer place use those wheel cleaner balls you put on a drill or powered screw driver? if so, those can cause such problems. it appears they polished (ununtentionally) too much.

No they dont, they use a special wheel cleaner that is diluted with water. I never leave my car for wash, I am always there watching them do it. I try never to step away from my car, not even at the dealers I always find a way to stand in a corner and watch what they are doing.

Wheel cleaner balls are a complete waste of money as they just cannot reach the various knooks and grannies that comprise different styles of wheels without having to put excessive pressure onto the ball to make it get into those spaces with the polish.

IMO wheel polish is a waste as well and really only makes a difference on chromed wheels.

I just wash my wheels using Stoner Window Spray (aerosal) and it cleans and shines them at the same time. And they look as good as new!
