I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but I did the same thing to my wheels a while ago (powdercoated) and it did the same ****. "Streaks" on

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but I did the same thing to my wheels a while ago (powdercoated) and it did the same ****. "Streaks" on all my wheels. No matter what I used it never came off. So I had to repowdercoat them.

Going to clay it later tonight but before I mess up my paint - what is a good dry-wash? Like I mentioned, I don't have access to a water hose other than the DIY car places...which I can go back to if needed.

should I be claying before I wash?? Also...does clay remove wax/sealer?

uh... yea... no claying won't mess up your paint if done right.

i suggest youtubing junkman's vids for some top notch info.


i use mother's clay kit. comes with a cloth + 2 clay bars + quick deatiler (QD). QD = lube and you need lots of it. make sure you use the correct types or it'll be a bad time.

as for dry washing... yea can't comment. from my understanding it's like a QD essentially...

Junkmans threads here in forum and his videos are essential. Especially if you are inexperienced. Take three or four hours and get educated. It is well worth the time.

Yep. When it comes to paint care, Junkman2008 is the local guru. I haven't seen all his paint care videos but he probably already has one that fits your needs; maybe even one about your specific "staining" problem.
