that really looks like soap... but idk what have you tried using?

i don't think you should go to a car wash to detail your car... you should hand detail it by yourself so you know what you're using and you will feel good in the end when you do it youself, those car washes scratch the paint and etc...

^ I used this Dust-off Wheels Cleaner from Purple Power, but I think I got them from this Laser Wash shiet.

It's the wheel cleaner. If you don't get that stuff off right away it will eat your finish. Sorry, man.

if its polished and not clearcoated, get s buffer and buff it out with a decent chrome or metal polish.

^ I tried but can't seem to get rid of it. AHHH I'm an idiot !!!

nooooooo, the new workkkkkkkkkks. give the dealer you bought the wheels from a call. ask them what kind of material will get that thing off.

kevinyo

emailed them already. I'll just wait and see.

kevinyo

I used to have Work wheels (Meister S1's) and I believe Work uses a clear coat on all polished lips, because mine had it.

What this means is that you should not/cannot polish the lips using an aluminum polisher because you may end up hurting the clear coat even more - this is in reference to the link you provided using the Viper wheels as an example.

It seems as if you need to have the lips re-finished. Contact the manufacturer/retailer before you do anything else and make them look worse.

Good luck!
