Worth noting you haven't damaged the wheels just made them look a bit st.
Yep used to change loads of them while at a kia dealer at one point they were replacing under warranty without much fuss but soon made it a lot harder to replace them. I ended up getting mine paint a single colour diamond cut alloys are one of the most pointless things. Looks good when new but just doesnt last and looks awful after a year or so.t for this very reason.Worth noting you haven't damaged the wheels just made them look a bit s

I was jet washing my son's Kia Picanto and I didn't realise there was some sort of whitish tape on his alloys, which I have blasted off in places in error. What is it that I have removed and how do I go about fixing it? I'm really hoping this isn't an expensive mistake.
Still under Kia 7 year warranty with full main dealer service history?Edited by Atsgmo on Sunday 19th May 19:26
If so, try a warranty claim.
We had 3 wheels refurbished at 5 years old as a warranty job, just within warranty on the shopping Hyundai i10.
Looking online some had new wheels on younger cars with laquer peel.
As others have said, diamond cut, pointless in our climate. Just paint the wheels.
