Help-volk Gt-7's Stained Lips

[jonnnsyr33]

My volk gt-7 wheels all have a cloudy sort of stain on the lips that wont wash off.

Does anyone have any idea how to remove these stains.....its from when i got my car washed after getting serviced!

ive spoken to magman at punchbowl and he said he wouldnt be able to help me.

Ive tried a quick polish but it doesnt work. Maybe a professional detail???? im getting dr detail out in 3 weeks to detail my car so im hoping he can polish it out!

otherwise does anyone recommend a particular wheel shop that could maybe re finish the lips??

Appreciate any help and advice.

Im located in sydney by the way.

cheers

Was it washed at where you got the car serviced?

If so, what the hell did he use?

If so, shouldn't they rectify it?

If so, take pics to them of before and after!

BTW, can you post up before & after pics here?

mostly likely the Volks run a clearcoat over their polished lips similar to Work rims - this clearcoat can discolour just like paint

Here is a pic of some polished meisters after a cure cycle for powdercoating, as you can see the clear is there as it has gone gold.

ran a set of volks through a prebake cycle on sunday - they were silver paint and annodised lips - these also discoloured similarly

this suggests that something attacked the clear and to resolve you may need to strip the clear and polish the lips as bare alloy (meaning always having to repolish) - without pics it could be hard to say much more.

clear annodising can be removed with a few solutions (oven cleaner or lye solutions) but there are hazards there.
