Hi Guys,
Me and my friend have noticed that our wheels are developing these type of 'marks' on the wheels can anyone explain them ? I have uploaded one of my friend's image. As you can see the marks are developing on the silver part. Could be happy if anyone helps ! Thanks :-)

Corrosion.
You could try and polish it up, but I doubt it will do much. As above it's due to poor maintenance.
It looks like too harsh a chemical wheel cleaner has been used here, which has caused premature failure of the lacquer (hence the corrosion). Nothing short of a refurb will resolve this issue.
My mates polished dish went like this after using wonder wheels
Wonder wheels is acidic IIRC.
You sometimes see the plastic centre caps of alloys fading or discolouring, this is a result of repeated use of acidic wheel cleaner too.
Which wheel cleaner would you advise to use Matt?
Valet-Pro Bilberry
Diluted @ 5:1 (water/product). With chrome plated wheels its different though, they should just be cleaned using ordinary shampoo.
even sometimes normal shampoo still leaves a soap mark my old trick for chrome was baby wipes they never marked at all ..Originally Posted by Debo
i use glare turbo action wheel cleaner on mine and some times turtle wax nano tech as its non acidic and doesnt damage paint so it wnt go through lacquer
