Help! Messed up some pc'd wheels
Ok so while ago I sprayed some four star wheel gel on the wheels like I normally would but now they are stained and all hazy. Come to find out they aren't clear coated. How can I fix this?

The webpage for Four Star Ultimate Wheel Cleaner Gel states the product is safe for wheels that are,
- Clear coated
- Polished
- Painted
- Aluminum
- Chrome
- Anodized
That would include the wheels you're working on...
At this point I would try some type of paint cleaner and hand clean/polish the paint.
The stains you see are likely topical and should polish off with a light abrasive paint polish. If the staining penetrates further into the paint than just topical then it might take more elbow grease or it might be a lost cause, only some testing will help you to find out.
What kind of compounds, polishes and paint cleaners do you have in your detailing arsenal?

perhaps the wheels were hot/very warm ?? Normally this wheel cleaner is quite light. I think Mikes got you covered, use some polish.

I tried m105 on a mf pad. It helped but not anything near fixed. Bout to hit a spot with the pc. If that works then I guess I have to go buy a powercone an find a drill

You said you sprayed this on a while ago, did it stain then or did the stain just appear later on? If it didn't harm the wheels right away then I would say the customer is pulling something over on you.

Do yu let the cleaner sit on the wheels in the sun?
-
Yeah the wheels were hot but I did spray them with water first. Maybe not enough it looks like. I let it sit on there for maybe 3 minutes

Well to update.....
Nothing by hand would touch it. I was able to see improvement with m105 and my bare fingers. But not enough to keep doing it. I tried m105 and white pad on my pc. Worked ok. So I borrowed a drill and bought a powerball. Added some 105 and went to town. The front wheels took many many passes but I pretty much got it. Oh well another lesson learned
