you mean she didn't wash it off??!!  :laugh:

get yourself some decent alloy wheel cleaner and it should come back... if you get wonder wheels thought don't use it if your lacquer is fcuked and don't use it often

i found with the megs it is more of the tortoise and the hare approach... something you can use otfen without damage

Thats the problem, i think it was sprayed on (way to much) and kinda wiped about a bit, as its grouped all the dust into patches, and other parts of the wheel are spotless shiny!!! Looks so awful its unreal, as the rest of my car is polished shiny  :cry:

Might just buy some new alloys! lol.
