Soap / White Streaks on Rims?

So I got all my Maya STM's re-done only about two weeks ago, and everytime I get a car wash I make sure to mention not to use any Acid on the rims. Lately I've been seeing build ups of white streaks on the two front rims around the lips a little on the back two but not as much. I tried to rub these out but no luck...any ideas on what I could be dealing with here?

With no pictures to show of the so called white streaks, it's going to be hard to help you out.

It could just be the clear on your wheels is wearing down?

+1 try the wash/wax thread, they probably have a remedy for that

if you got the lip redone, then it is probably just stains.....

use some meguiars or mothers chrome polish......pain in the ass to use because you have to rub it in and then take it off. it's a little worse than wax and gets your hands really black.....
