Thanks TipsZ what it concerns me is that only 1 Wheel look like something dripped, but the other three doesnt, they are only discoloring on hard edges and corners. And yes you are right, I spoke with my detailer people and they told me the same thing that the chemical cannot be left too long or when the wheel is hot. Thats why they always wet the wheels first to cool them off, then they spray the chemical and wash it all wheels first, then they continue with the car. But yes please if you find pictures I will like to compare.
