Default Stained LowGloss Black Wheels

Picked up my HC last week and just noticed this today.

One of the Black LowGloss wheels is stained / etched on a few spokes & inside lug nut pocket.

Tried cleaning with some water & car wash, but didn't help.

After looking very close, It looks like it's etched in the finish.

Anyone else have this?

No. They are the stock LowGloss SRT Wheels. I think they are painted.
I know you are not supposed to use wheel cleaner, wax, polish.....or anything other than car wash.

The car wash tends to spew wax everywhere if you elect for that particular option...... It almost looks like oxidization....... but, it won't scrub off? (soft bristle brush please. )

Yea, it almost looks like over-spray or wax residue.
I'll give it a shot with clay bar tomorrow.and let you know.
Thanks!
