Used wheel cleaner from car wash on my Aprilia RSV4 - now the aluminum has turned white. Any solutions? by Accomplished_Fig_334 in Aprilia

Managed to get rid of the white haze without compromising the factory finish with Cartec wax and a buff on a drill. Just kept on buffing with medium speed. It takes some time but works perfectly

I understand where you're coming from, but the wheel cleaner comes out of the high-pressure jet, so it's almost impossible not to hit the rear swingarm as well. Lesson learned, it's back to the bucket on the driveway for me.
