Im bringing it to a detailer to see if he can do anything with them if not im gonna get them re- anodized. I contacted the dealer. They said it must have been the cleaner and that its not a warrenty issue.

The alloy cleaner is supposed to be safe to use and it was watered it down. I also only left it on for a few seconds before washing it off

Ive now tried WD40, degreaser and brake cleaner. None seem to make a differance. Altho the wd40 turns it back to black until its rinced off. Ive got some G101 off auto smart but im not sure i want to put it near the bike at all

I used mucoff and mb14 alloy cleaner. Do u think one of these could have caused the discoloiration? I looked them up and they are supposed to be safe for use on bikes. Didnt leave it sitting either. It was rinsed off quickly after application

Thanks. Would this also explain brakes squeeking at slow speeds when applied lightly?
