Hello for my first post! My wife and I just got a new 2008 328i. we took delivery of it at night so the wheels didnt look bad but at day light we noticed the wheels looked pretty bad. they are dull and very spotty, we tried waxing them but that didnt really help. before I call the dealer is this a problem warrenty wise like a a clear coat failure. Thanks

Bring it in pronto. Sounds like the dealership detailing crew were using a stronger cleaner than they should.

Since you just bought it, take it to the dealer. Otherwise, you can try using a metal polish instead of wax to clean them. Mothers makes a fairly good and inexpensive metal polish.
