The brake dust on BMWs are INSANE. Talk about getting a face full of dirt and grim if you arent careful pulling out the daytona brush.
Paint pics didnt come out good since the grey/silver or whatever color it is, hides defects so well.

DUBS wheel cleaner
LA Totally Awesome - tires
CG Citrus wash & gloss - 4oz to strip
CG v34 on orange B&S pad, G21 on speed 5
CG v34 on orange LC pad, rupes mini on speed 5
hydro2 lite on wheels and paint
Rain X on glass
Nanoskin mitt medium and soap at lube

Also, can anyone help me identify what type of damages are in the last 4 pics?

Great job donbeezy!

The first 2 pics out of the 4 you asked about looks like crow`s feet.

Unfortunately that`s clearcoat failure.

Nice job. I agree with Marc. The first three photos looks like clear coat fracturing or crow`s feet as Marc pointed out.

Not sure what that last defect is from that angle.

Nice work, man! Wheel coatings are a godsend on BMW rims. Brake dust washes right off:)

Clear failure that probably is from not removing bird bombs or tree sap

Wheel woolies > Daytona speed master brush for this reason. A little pricier but no spray of brake dust

nice work! Sucks about the clear coat though. Nice ride

I should show you a picture of my wheels after putting on race brake pads. Would go from bright silver to black within a week..never again. Great work by the way!

Spray and rinse will make quick work of the wheels....

Not much gonna help the cc failure.

Nice work though !!!

Nice work all the way around!
The wheels look so pristine now!:rockon

I have found that often times etching from bird droppings is in the top clearcoat layers only and often can be color sanded and polished out.

I have not had the same luck with sap if it etches , # 3 pic may be from sap.

Nice work!

On the last pic - this is dried water signs. aka water etching. On the first two - signs of bird droppings.
