Wheel Dilemma.

Well now I've stopped sobbing I can ask this question, after a brill day out riding I set about cleaning my Speedy last evening, I'd used Auto Glym engine and machine cleaner umteen times on my bikes, always weary not to leave it long before washing off, however, first use of it on my new pride and joy seen the rear wheel left with a mottled haze, I've just tried Auto Glym showroom shine, polish, paint restorer (like T-Cut) and a little WD-40, none worked, has anyone else had the same issue and any top tips to rectify would be much appreciated.

 

The wheels are, I'd say a semi matt finish in black, or a hazy dark grey now in the case of the rear wheel.

 

. Yes, it is a water based, biodegradable, degreaser, it says it's suitable for all vehicle components, I realised the effect it had before using it on the front wheel so as the rear was fine before I cleaned it I'd say it was definitely the culprit, I don't have a dishwasher but can no doubt cadge some rinse aid from someone who does, thanks for the tip.

 

That's a very kind offer darkman and a much appreciated valid point, sadly off to London today for a funeral then not so sadly to France for a long weekend, I've contacted AutoGlym too so will see what they come back with, thanks again.

 

Thanks darkman, much appreciated, will bear it in mind.
