I brought it up to the manager of the car wash and he informed me that they use a very aggressive wheel cleaner and they don't take into consideration the various types of wheel finishes. They're looking to get the brake dust off. Period. And they are not responsible for damages. So I ended up taking it to Cadillac and they replaced all four wheels. Needless to say, I cancelled my subscription and haven't been back since.
I get a new customer weekly who says exactly this. Those monthly subscriptions trash the paint. I could show you pictures that would blow your mind...At first I thought the fast freddy monthly subscription place that opened in my town would hurt business. One year later, I am getting customers who are realizing that frequent washes with recycled water and sub standard produxts are destroying their paint.
