I hear you...my wheels look like they've been assembled with a jack hammer. I have taken meticulous care of my car and don't rub curbs but the wheels seem to be self destructive. I too wash by hand but have yet to delve into a fix. I will soon and can let you know my findings.

Hi Joe:
Have you heard of any reason why the alloy wheels on the Accord get scratched up. I thought it was a warranty issue but Honda avoids the issue if the Rep says acid might have gotten on them. I see that you have an 07 Accord with the same wheels. I see this problem on a lot of Accords. Mine is the 06 model and 3 of the 4 wheels look like they have scratches on them. I always wash my cars by hand and use McGuires soaps, cleaners and wax. What do you think?
