Default Wash your wheels and ...Jaguar Le Port Marly

Look at what happened, I keep the karscher 1-2 ft away when I do the body but not for the wheels and this is what I got, so this is the original paint taking off or they were re-paint? I never seen this before on 9 other vehicules.

I never put any high pressure water on the car. Think of washing a car like washing a horse. How would the horse react to high pressure?

Looks like your wheels were repainted at some time in the past...

no surprise Jaguar le Port Marly repainted them with a car at 12000 km...7000 miles and repainted. Probably a cheap job too, on top. Thanks for not saying it.

well, I am not sure no. I don't want to run and have all things fixed all the time, at this ratio.
