So i get my car back after getting some seals replaced, I look at the passenger side and i see a shiz load of water marks around the rear wheel well. So i dont think much of it.....till i have to wash my car durin the weekend. Motha suckas dont come off!!! mad.gif I dont know what happened, I know the mechanic used chemicals to wash my engine but not sure if the excess was somehow sprayed on my wheel well. And i cant have him pay for it cuz it was all done under the table, no proof of anything. After he gets owned.gif .....what should i do to fix this problem confused.gif I tried waxing, buffed tha hell outta it. the things wont go away. If u guys tried anything or had the same problem corrected, please let me know frown.gif Thanx Guys!!

i actually had a similar problem once.
With my last celica, i has just sent it in to get painted, and they seriously fuc*** up my rims with something. I dont know what the hell it was , but it sure as hell did'nt want to come off. I tried everthing. I even tried scratching it off gently , but no progress.

Then i went to PepBoys and bought some "Chrome Polishing" stuff. I forgot the exact name of it, but it did the job. I worked on one wheel at a time. My arm was killing me at the end after so much scrubing, but my rims looked like new.

Hahaha, so has your hand grown any bigger? LOL.

And good luck to you with the watermarks on teh wheel well. If if had that problem, I wouldn't even mind it cuz my paint isn't all that pretty anymore anyways.
