Hi guys well i had my wheels powdercoated hi gloss black at a place called the wheel specialist in birmingham, around 12-18 months ago and love em to bits picture below

now over the last month i have noticed a change to be honest they look recked but i dont know why, my weekly wash has`nt changed apart from i`ve gone from poorboys shampoo to megs glold class along with menzerna and to finish poorboys wheel sealant, so can you take a look at the pic`s below and tell me if anyone knows whats happening to my once loved wheels many thanks for reading and you can come up with some answers

another

 

no ideas as to whats happened to these wheels????

 

Whatever has happened it shouldn't have, I would take them back and ask for an explanation.

 

I wouldnt have thought any of the products you've used to wash/wax them (poorboys, menzerna) would do that to the finish....

as above, take them back and see what the wheel refurbish ppl have to say?

 

sparktrix why would the products used, do that to the finish?

 

I thought thats what you were referring to?

have you had any joy with taking them back?

 

As I said on the phone, the products you are using are all wheel safe and non-acidic, so there is no way your products could be to blame. It actually looks a lot salt etching, although if your wheels were well protected through the winter then there is little chance this could be the case either. I would take them back and argue strongly that the finish is faulty. After all, it's not like you have abused them or used an aggressive cleaning approach.

 

well after a conversation with manger im booked in monday morning at 8am so we will see how it goes.....

 

went over to the wheel specialist today they had a look, checked what products i used, questioned the menzerna and poorboys wheel sealant, i said look take em check them out on the net!!!! thay are not to blame!!!! after a few minutes and a chat to the manager the guy came back to me and said i will do em now, but as it happens they are booked in to be done next monday instead...
