I stained my rims today
today while washing my car I used a product that I will never in my life use again. It is to wash tires... its called bleach white tire cleaner. Some of this product got on my new GTC and staied some of the polished lips. I have tryed many products to try to clean this but no luck. I fear that Im going to have to pay someone to re-polish the rims. anyone know a good place in Dade or broward county in Florida that I can use to get this done? Any help would be appriciated.

they have a clearcoat on the lip so it sounds like you ate thru it. You cant use metal polish just ask the shop that tried to polish out my lip on one of my rims, they now have to strip the remaining clearcoat, polish, and reclearcoat my lip

Bleach is basic. The opposite of acidic.
GTCs have a clearcoat so that needs to be redone. Unless that crap ate thru your clearcoat AND stained the metal. Could be expensive.
I feel your pain. When i wwas in college I had an explorer with alloys and I stained the wheels with some tire crap as well.

yea I have tried the mothers and with no results, I think that it ate through the clearcoat.
To answer your question imelda, I dont have white walls on the car, but the product could be used on a regular black tire.
calgary350z : I will try metal polish and the buffing, Thanks.

Someone posted the process to taking care of this very situation a long time ago. Try searching. I believe the process included some wet sanding and then clearcoating.
