Problem with Mother's Wheel and Tire foam?

[Hogan1966]

I used Mother's Tire and Wheel foam and this is what I ended up with. It is on all four wheels I can't seem to get it off. Any ideas? It is a white haze of some sort.

I followed directions to a T and the wheels were not hot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

These are a set of OEM 18s on an '09 Acura TL SH-AWD. They are painted and clear coated.

Thanks in advance.

Does rubbing any type of light polish or even a quick detailer using a microfiber towel remove the whitish residue?

No. I tried Meguiar's quick detailer and it didn't take it off. I haven't tried a polish at this point.

The same thing happened to me on my clear coated Toyota wheels. Applied to a wet wheel and didn't let it dwell for longer than a minute. The funny thing is half the car has etched wheels and the other half seems un-affected. Hmmm.......

Were you able to clean it off?

Is it just one spoke on each rim? Have you tried any product (plastic polish or a cleaner wax) on the area? Did you purchase the Acura new?

Will do. Thanks for reaching out.

Not completely. I have improved them some with M205 by hand on the affected areas. It's really only noticable under certain lighting. I've been wheel shopping lately so it's not bothering me too much.

This sort of effect is something not uncommon with overly strong cleaners on some wheels. I am trying to interpret the MSDS and it does not look although this product would have such a risk but there does seem to be discrepancy between the listed components in the composition and those listed in the toxicity sections so not certain what else might be in there.

Have you tried a bit of panel wipe?

OT: As I started reading this thread, my first thought was, "Forest will be along soon." Lo and behold, up he pops.

Great to see a manufacturer come to the aid of their customers.
