The wheels are freshly washed, and orange spots are still there. They won't go even after a third wash, the wheel loses its shine, and on a car driven daily everything is back within a few weeks. And wheels are what everyone walking past the car sees.
Those spots are tiny particles of iron from the brake pads, baked into the wheel's surface. A regular cleaner won't take them off, because they don't sit on the surface — they sit in it. A strong acid off the shelf will dissolve them, but it also attacks the metal or the clearcoat underneath and leaves dull patches that no polishing or protection will bring back. We write more about this in our article on cleaning wheels.
FEYNLAB® Ceramic Wheel & Caliper protection is for you if your wheels keep coming back with the same problem and you don't want to scrub them every few weeks. If a proper clean a few times a year is enough for you, book a decontamination wash or a hand exterior wash. If you also want peace of mind on the tyre sidewalls, add ceramic tyre protection, and for the paint on the whole car, ceramic surface protection.
