I've had these things over a year now I guess, and everytime I wash it, you just dont get that shine anymore, like there is a residue on it or something, I've CLEANED these, and even put wheel wax on them.. any clues?


that gives you some idea that its not that mirror look anymore... It's like mirror, but hazey

 

Nothing?

 

The anodizing is compromised and will have to be stripped off to bare aluminum and repolished. This is easiest to do by removing the centers of the wheels. Once this is done, the wheels will have no protection and will be subject to constant oxidation. You will have to repolish them using a metal polish every couple of months

 

Have you tried using a regular car wax on the clearcoat over the anodization? Any meguires or mothers or zymol liquid wax should do it.

I had to have my volks finish stripped and repolished because metro infiniti in Monrovia, California, messed up the clearcoat and didn't admit to it. Now that its stripped, you can see the brush lines in the lip a little, but can be polished up really nice whenever you want.
