Looks like Magnesium Chloride or road salts to me. Does it wash off?

How do you clean your wheels? What products do you use?

ive used ethos wheel cleaner in the past, i do not know what my detailer uses, I was thinking it could be a cleaning product that caused it. Just wanted to see if anyone knew, couldn't find anything searching around

You can see the drip marks, so it is definitely some kind of liquid.

Not if they/you keep using that white swill on the wheels. You can use the G2 caliper paint (or similar) and get a nicer looking finish anyway

Have you tried taking the wheel off and scrubbing it with a brush?
