So I am contemplating purchasing the Ford Performance First Edition wheels for my BL.
I'm reading online black wheels like those are typically more fragile as they scratch/swirl/mar a whole lot easier than standard wheels. On my old Outer Banks I noticed the black on the wheels had swirl marks and surface scratches but am not sure if they were received from the dealer like that. Even if it was due to my cause, I didn't mind too much as they were the factory wheels and I didn't pay extra for them.
Now, if I purchased the FE wheels at $1k I would definitely be pissed if I scratched them up. Keep in mind, I do routinely use automated car washes.
Is that a recipe for screwing up the wheels and should I not bother or is there something I can do to mitigate any damage I may possibly cause by using those car washes?
