Vomit on 17" AMG CLK wheels, advice?
So i came out of the stadium after a humiliating football loss to Vanderbilt to find that some drunken tailgater had puked all over my right rear wheel, and left two handprints on the back quarter panel. I was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY pissed off since i was already mad because of the game. I didnt find out who it was though, and this forum isnt for anger advice so ill stick to the subject at hand. I took it to the carwash and used a DIY spray hose to get the stuff off with soap and water. It was probably on there for about a 2 hours. 
Is there anything else i need to do? How much damage do you think was done to the clear coat on the wheel? Thanks

hmm i didn't know about the thing being 'activated' each time water touches it. I myself think that the powerful hose off 2 hours after was a great idea, and just use your regular rim cleaner to get anything remaining off. i may be wrong though.
