    I put some meguairs tire cleaning spray on my rims and tires not noticing its not to be used on powder coated rims. I only did two and noticed they started to haze and got uneven finish. I tried to wax on polish them out and they seem better but not like my other two. Is there something I can use or do to get themback to how they were?

    Need to post a picture with a make and model of the rim or do a search on google to find out if they are clear coated . Most of them are clear coated
    Next , verify all the polish is removed ,Then look into clear coat correction .
