pitting on alloys

[picklesayrshire]

ive hears of people saying that ssome alloy cleaners damage(pit) ur wheels, is this like white marks on the alloy or what.

Pitting is where little tiny pin prick holes start appearing on your wheels mate. You can also get white marks etc. Are you having problems? what wheel cleaner do you use?

nuthin major but i have noticed wot looks like a small birds shit on the chrome lip of my alloys(but its not birds shit), i noticed it b4 i applied any wheel cleaner. i just used wonder wheels there tho and the stuff really did get the crap off.

you really need to be using a ph balanced wheel cleaner especially on wheels with a polished lip.

I use bilberry wheel cleaner, its brilliant, may be worth you buying some.

Also when they are clean i would apply a wheel sealant to protect them.

yeh get some decent cleaner, the white are marks are due to oxidisation of the metal because the laquer is being worn away from the wheel cleaner i believe

Mine has styarted to do this on some of the curbing on mine.

Anyway to reverse this as it's under the laquer?
