Quick question, I have a 996 turbo and I use Sonax wheel cleaner every wash. My problem is, everytime the wheels are washed, the rotors turn the rust from the water. I use my air compressor to remove as much water from the rotors as possible but once I start driving it spits up that orange water everywhere. My inner barrels are gloss black and you'd swear they aren't even painted. What should I do?

Please tell me what product this is and any info about it. I am about to start my paint correction, and this looks like an important step before clay. Thanks.

we used the Kranzle K1120t and hooked it up to the Cam Spray Foam Canon and used Adams' Car Wash.
