Diamond Cut Alloy Milking - DIY?
Discussion
Brought a 435d x drive a few months ago from a dealer 200 miles away. Two months into ownership and one of the wheels is showing some 'milking' near the lip.
As soon as I brought it I used AG Custom Wheels cleaner and applied two coats of GTechnique wheel armour over the weekend.
I don't know what has caused this but want to attempt a home repair.
Is there a recommended procedure? Any products I would need?
I have various metal polishes, compounds and, a dremel.
I was not sure on the lacquer. I read a few threads on here before posting this stating that an expensive lacquer is required - some refurbishment places skimp and don't use it as it is not cost effective.
Any guidance appreciated.

It is a 2016 model. I did think about sending photos but I guess I will never know unless I do. It was brought approved used from a Bmw dealer. Quite frankly the refurbished repair on the inside looked average from the get go. Wheels are painted on inside and diamond cut on face.
Didn't think about local franchise so will ask.
