Default Wheel help, please, detailer fudged me!

my damn near new 20s have been damn near ruined! i dont know if they put wheel acid or hydrochloric acid, but they are crazy stained! i need help, i have polished maidos 9f 10.5r and the paint on the front is trying to chip off, and the lips are just horrible. I got the guy fired and they wont pay for it because after i picked it up, i just looked at the outside and was like , hmm thats a good job. i got home and came back out for something and looke at my wheels and say the horror!! i raced back up there and the guy popped ****, so i got the manager. he said well since i left he cant do anything about it cuz i could have done it myself! they guy popped more ****, and his manager said do you know something about this? and the guy was laughing and said, huh...heh heh heh uhh no. i think the manager believed as well that he did it, and said, get your stuff and go home! they argued and then he fired him. he said he was sorry, but wont do anythings since i left and was gone for a few hours before i discovered it. i am gonna take this as far as i can, but i followed the guy, and we argued some more at a gas station. he popped off, and i lit up his grill. I just got home a few hours ago, why, cuz i got picked up!! he didnt press charges but the officer on the scene said he himself could press charges, and he did.( Brother with a muscle shirt, on a hot day, and a nice car, in oklahoma city, foregon conclusion!) anyways, i have tried never dull, and mothers polish both the red can and the billet polish, and neither work. the billet works better, but there is a built on haze thats not just a hazy haze. thats on one wheel, the others have chipped off paint and just disgusting fried looking haze on them. what the hell can i do to get them cleaned up? these wheels were not cheap!!! thanks.

sounds like you gotta get them refinished..that sucks though...dont know where the ryukyu islands are but im guessing they are nowhere near dallas texas

i just sent my wheels to get refinished by wheeltechnologies.com

they are based in dallas...thats about all the help i can think of

they charge 125 per wheel no matter what you need done to it...you pay for shipping there and they pay on the way back but im not sure if that only applies in the US

They probably used a wheel cleaner on hot wheels. I don't think you have much recourse, other than to get them refinished as havabooz said.

The same thing happened to me last week. I got my car washed somewhere in VA. Went up for a visit from NC. Got my car washed and the idiots sprayed Mean Green on my wheels and stained them. Nothing works, just have to get them refinished.

How old are you? I certainly hope that you enjoy your time in jail. It is well deserved.

ok folks lets all settle down, im a detailer, i can tell you exactly what he did, he hit your wheels with wire wheel cleaner when they werent cool, the heat and acid cause the cleaner to advance to fast, causing the wheel to get burned, but the good news is that you can go get la cerva wheel polish, it comes in a blue bottle, you would have to do some searching for it, i get it direct from my supplier, but it should do the trick on those wheels of yours. hope this helps.

they are a two piece wheel so that helps alitle, the inside i have to get repainted. as for the guy that said i deserved the day in night in jail, well maybe, but who wouldnt? teh215? if you had done this or anyone, they owuld have suffered the same fate. I got a call yesterday and the guy is trying to press charges since he has broken bones in his face, but the cops said he cant now, and the only person that can and did press charges was the cop at this point since he said he wouldnt that day, i called the detail shop and they said that they would pay for his medical bills, a few thousand, since it was their fault. they said to never come back of course, but its all good. i have a court date, unless the cop decideds to drop the charges, which he can. so i am praying, i will let you know. i should have broke his arms or fingers or something. 349 dollar bond. i guess its worth it. that bastard!

Dude, I doubt the Cop isn't gonna press charges now. Your lucky he didn't have a gun, because if he was me I would have pop'd one in your skull after you hit me. Though, your more than likely gonna be min put on probation, or spend a few months in jail for assault.

Nice move pal. If the guy would have had a gun in his pocket, you wouldn't have to worry about going to jail like you are now. Your loved ones would be worrying about your funeral arrangements.

"Why did he die"? "Someone mess up the wheels on his car".

See how STUPID that sounds when you put it in perspective.

I wouldn't punch him. This is america, people disrespect others left and right. If I kept beating people up I'll never see the light of day.

her her her her , nerd! im not all that proud of kicking the hel out of this guy, but it happened, and the guy was pretty messed up, and if he did have a gun there would have been no way for him to pull it out, cuz the bows just kept coming. after i stopped i wasnt in such a hurry to leave him, cuz he looked pretty messed u, but i should have still left. the guy apologiesed on the spot, and i think thats why he didt press charges, but still. it was an irrational act, and i know that, but it happened. ohh well. he should recover fine and the detail shop owner is paying for his bills. so no sweat off my back. screw him. as for people being able to talk, omg, lmfao, now-adays? yea i guess people cannot talk now-a-days!! omg? or oh my gosh? lmfao? or laughing my f--king a-s off? learn to talk before you try to clown someone else.

just a suggestion.

anyways, that cleaner, how do i find it detail guy?
