Follow up on Dealer putting acid on wheels
I'm not sure if its acid or what, but thats the term everyone else used when i told them about it... As i posted before, after my car was details i started noticing the wheels having black lines and spots through them, and also on the brakes, rotors, etc.... They picked the car up on a truck and should be brining it back to me today. They claimed they didn't do anything of the sort to the car that would have done this, but they replaced the wheels and all the parts around the wheels, whatever they woudl be...
Detailers told me that there is a substance they use to clean baked on brake dust off chrome wheels... they used on my car by accident.
Interesting....so if you have your car detailed in service...make sure to check out the wheels closely. I wonder what it cost the dealer to replace all the wheels, brakes, discs, etc...
here is a few pics of what it looked like.
