19" what is happening :(

Ello everyone,
Got my new G in april, since then it was hand washed with turtle wax liquid and armorall tire foam was used for tires, and that is about it..... never at car wash didnt even let the dealer wash it when my TP monitor went dead and i put it in for service.......

and thats what happend to one wheel

it was the wheel that they took off when fixing the TP monitor, im not sure if they used anything to clean it but i dont belive so, since service guy was gonna put it for a car wash, i know it is a car and stuff like that wears out but i only have 3k on it
searched over the forum found some nasty pics of acid burns on those wheels, but i never used an acid or any kind of wheels cleaner, and that tire foam was used on all wheels but things like that are only seen on one. has anyone took something like that to the dealer ?

yes, but the thing is i used the same cleaner for all the rims and only one started to get stuff like that on it, you cant notice it by looking at it, but once u start cleaning them there u go...... i just dont want them to get any worse, cause for the next two years i be paying off that G no extra money for new set of any rims....got a friend with 350z 05 who was tired of hand washing it, took it to the dealer and they did a great job cleaning out the wheels, so nice that there was hardly any paint left on them (little exaggeration, but primer was visible just looking at them)

Hat to say it, but those stains are not going to come off. You might have to find someone who can refinish your wheels. The dealer had to refinished my wheels because it was their fault for using harsh wheel cleaner and not wiping it off properly. They repainted it and it match the silver color. It doesn't have the clear finish look anymore, but it still looks good.
