hmm. It's simoniz right? Honestly id contact them with as much detail as possible. When you used it, how long for, how you applied it, the effects on the alloys etc. not only may they be able to help you. There maybe some sort of compensation you receive from them. (probably nothing and definately not money so don't get your hopes up lmao)

Here's there contact page http://www.simonizprotection.co.uk/contact-us.php

Did you let it dry? Now I can't see the pic clearly but if it dried try applying it again agitating it well then rinse immediately

tried that too and no, i didnt let it dry. but spoke to a guy on another forum and he said to use mop and polish, havent got a mop so going form lots of elbow grease and autoglym super resin polish and its coming up a treat. Taken me about 20 mins to do 1/4 of alloy but looking good. its done t due to being a crap brand and high acidity supposidly but still emailed them see what they have to say
