How to get this off
I’ve tired everything to remove these white spots. Degreaser, dawn, elbow grease.... Anyone have any ideas?

really hard to tell from the blurry pic but you sure you aren't just down to bare metal? it looks like something has eaten away at the paint.

Here are thre other 3. I’m not really sure. It doesn’t appear to have eaten through to the metal.

Looks like the paint is etched. This will happen sometimes when certain wheel cleaners are sprayed on the wheels and calipers when they are still really hot. They do need repainting, you can do it or swap them out for powder coated ones.

Looks like aggressive wheel cleaner. Self service car washes wheel spray, chrome and mag wheel cleaners, and all purpose cleaners not diluted enough can all do that.

Happened the a friend as well, he used a wheel cleaner but left it on too long. Powdercoating time! or high temp paint

It’s out of warranty, I’m sure they won’t. I got 2 of them to look better. I guess I’ll keep trying until I can update them. Dealer told us it was jsut hard water spots. Obviously, it’s not. This is my first used car, lessons learned. |
