First off, I AM a moron, overzealous impatient moron....
On to the story
Giving my MS6 its first wash and wax, still had lots of the residue from shipping on the paint and wheels. On the paint it all came off easy, for some reason on the wheels it would not. On previous cars with alloy wheels I just used a green scrastchy pad, and it worked, and it NEVER damaged the wheels, and I scrubbed HARD on those wheels! DON'T FREAK YET. I GENTLY, barely put ANY pressure with an absurdly soapy and soft scratch pad took all of the residue off of my wheels, and when they dried I have little tiny scratches, so apparently these wheels have a MUCH softer finish than my previous cars!
Any Ideas on what i can use to buff them out without further damage...
What really pisses me off is that I HAVE A WARRANTY, but i have never owned a NEW car before and thus didn;t even think of that as an option, I am sure if i went in for service and said, "Hey i still have crap on my wheels get it off" they would have done it FOR me... even when you stand up you can barely tell and I bet after I 10 mile trip they will be blended in by dirt and road grim but I know they are there and it will bug me... grrrrr
