Plastidip Wheels

[5.3Ecotec]

So I have been using Nanoskin non acid wheel cleaner and VRP from CG on the tires and rims themselves. However I developed water spot  white discoloration on the rim itself. Anyone have any luck with current products to remove or eliminate? I have been currently hiding with the application of water based dressing and want to avoid re dipping them.

I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy them just for this, but if I had some Black Trim Restorer or Tire Armor I'd give that a shot.

Water spots can usually be easily polished off wheels if they are just painted. Treat them just like your paint, Clay bar might help as well if you have the wheels clean.

I’m assuming your wheels are dipped from the title. What color?

PlastiDip can be wet sanded, Fonzie has a video on it.

The "water spots" is actually the finish getting faded.  Using dressing is in fact the only way to get rid of this and make the dips color come back to life.  The other way is to buy a different brand of dip.  I sprayed my wheels with Halo's brand of spray can dip.  It leaves a much glossier sheen without dressing.  Of course they look even more glossy when I wipe them down with Adams tire shine.  Ive had my wheels dipped with halo for over a year and no issues, fading or white spotting.
