You went to an express wash where you send your car through with aftermarket rims?

you should call the carwash and ask what chemicals they use in their system...hopefully its nothing too harsh

Can't really tell for sure from only one picture, but you wouldn't be the first person to have to get their lips refinished after going to an auto car wash.

How can you wait 3 months for wheels and then not take an extra 15 minutes to wash the car yourself?
