Hey guys,

I took my car to the Chevron 100% hand wash, and it looks like whatever they used on my rims stripped them, left haze, and what kind of looks like water spots all over my rims.

These are my rims.


I talked to the manager and complained to him, and he keeps saying that it was not the product they used that damaged my rims. I am fairly confident that the spray they used damaged my rims. I found that they use "red magic" that can be found on carwashsupplies.net.

Is there any way I can prove that the spray damaged my rims besides buying a new one, and having him spray that one with the solution.

Can someone help me find more info on Red Magic? I am trying to find out who makes it, so I can contact them directly. The carwashsupplies.net refuses to even speak over email, and will only speak over the phone.
Thanks guys. I am pretty furious right now.

try and find out if red magic has any corrosives in it..try and get a MSDS on that product. possibly on their website?

I got a free set of Volk SF Winnings cuz our car wash guy burned some customers wheels and he wouldnt accept anything but new, so my boss gave me the wheels

good luck and stay on them, they are responsable for either repairing to your satisfaction or relacing

MSDS= material safety data sheet

 

I was able to find the MSDS, but am unsure how to read them. Here are the links.

Thanks guys.

 

I would call prairewest or w/e they are called and tell them your interested in purchasing redmagic and ask if their are any corrosives in that product. Most de-greasers have some sort of corrisve material in them thats how they break down grease so it removes easier

 

it is there fault.. on any wheels that are hot, when they spray them down to clean them it messes them up end of story... especially when u first park ur car they should have let ur wheels cool down first before puttin a cleaning solution on them. wheels get really hot and a solution going on them right after doesnt help the problem im sorry this happened to ur wheels but from now on clean it urself an hour or so after u have driven last

 

sorry to hear that happen. keep us posted to let us know how it was resolved.
