Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…
In the 1st pic it looks like the finish was already deteriorating. It was only a matter of time before the entire wheel was like that.

Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…
I'm assuming from what you are describing, That the wheels were originally black. From the first picture I would've thought they were mat silver. If this was the case, could you just remove all the black? If the customer expected them to come out in black I would explain the finish was going to come off if you used Windex!
If he really wants black then tell him you will use a rim color restorer and Plastdip them.

They were originally like the 1st picture, silver. The black was under the silver.

Honestly, I haven’t seen or heard from the customer. He sent 2 of his employees to come pick up the vehicle. 1 of the guys took a hard look at the wheels before he jumped in but didn’t say anything. [awkward moment]lol.
I’m laughing but it’s not funny man it was really bothering me yesterday… The thing about this vehicle is the owner wanted me to detail it because he said he had a potential buyer coming to purchase it and needed it ready asap. I hope it sold!

Oh, this was from a used-car dealer?

No, he’s just a guy who sells cars as a side hustle.

Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…
That's pretty wild. Based on how this played out, I'd say the finish was toast before they truck every came into your possession.
Did you touch/feel the wheels when they were dry before cleaning? From what you describe I wouldn't be shocked if the finish came off on your finger with just a swipe.
