Default Egg damage - matte finish wheel repair.

How would one repair black matte finish turbo wheels, damaged by egg-throwing?

Friend of mine got new Porsche Turbo. Car was parked for about an hour outside grocery store. On coming back, noticed all four wheels had eggs thrown at! Broken pieces of egg shells left around the wheels.

Notices what seems like "white" spots on the wheels. Small white specks on all four of them wheels.

Took car to Porsche dealer. Told him: they do not look like scratches, they seem superficial/surface like stains. White in color. Unfortunately can't be removed!

Adding: do not try to rub or polish these stains (or whatever), as you may damage the delicate satin finish of the wheels.

How would one repair/fix stains from egg shell (Calcium shell) on matte/flat finish wheels??

Surely it is just bits of shell stuck there with egg? Not easy to remove if left to dry (I have had my house egged!) Has he tried high pressue water?

Cheers Ben

If the finish is lifting then you would have to strip and re powdercoated.
