after 1 year of cleaning, (I used to us A2Z cleaner) and then one bottle of the Armor All Quicksilver I now have white splotches that appear on the wheels after rinsing them. It doesn't matter how I clean them or what I use. I never had this problem before using the Quicksilver cleaner. The only thing that will remove the splotches is a coating of polish. A simple hit of Mequiars cleaner or Rain Dance and they look fine again, but I must do this every time I wash.
Any ideas?

You might want to use some kind of compound to buff out the damaged area. Be careful, it's quite possible that you could do more damage than good using the compound!

afew light coats (until you see a difference), and then put a coat of car wax over them.

QD is mostly a watered down wax, and using actual paste wax will last longer and make future cleaning easier.
