The dealer was nice enough to do that to my wheels. THEN offered to sell me some new ones!!!
They claimed to never use any chemicals on their wheels...after calling their preferred wheel refinishing guy, his words "Yeah, they have to stop using acid on their wheels."
Needless to say, they're going to pay for the refinishing.

I have never used anything but good car washing soap and water on my wheels and they look like the day the car was new.
Never had a problem with them, and never had to worry about this kinda crap.
Don't know why guys spend money on this stuff. If you keep your wheels reasonably clean and don't go years between cleanings soap and water work just fine.

I stopped using "wheel cleaners" years ago. They are a big effing nightmare in the durability dept. Maybe if we had BMW's, but even then you would use:
P21S is an PH balanced (read: not acidic) wheel cleaner that is very good for thick brake dust.

With Any Acid based cleaner your rims need to be cool and you need to rinse before hand.
I used that when i first got my car to clean the crap the dealer never cleaned and it did a great job, afterwards I just used some car soap and water.
Spraying the acid based cleaner on hot rims was not a smart idea and which is why you have those marks.
