Default Volk rims HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a question for you guys..... I wash my car at a pressure washer wash and use only soap and water on my rims... I've had my rims for a month and a half and the lip is getting cloudy and has a weird rambow color on it... how do I remove this.....?? Do I use cleaner wax??? Sorry if this is a repost...just help me out....also what causes this is the soap at the wash place eating my clear coat???? Can this be fixed.... Thanks in advance to anyone that helps...

you can try to polish the lip with 3M rubbing compound or other clearcoat safe wheel polish and see if it takes it out. Most likely the clearcoat gotten eaten away and will need to be refinished at a professional shop.

Might be that soap your are using! Try wheelwax. WWW.wheelwax.com but I doubt that will work, looks like something ate at your clearcoat!

If a cleaner wax doesn't work the only thing to make them look right is to get them polished.

They will have to take all the clear coat off all your wheels to match. No one can duplicate the clear coat that Rays puts on their wheels. If you do reclear coat they will be dull .

Try Mag Masters in Santa Ana if you live in Southern California about $90 each wheel.

They just refinished a set of Volk wheels for me and they tuned out really nice (better then new) .
