I recently refurbed one of my alloys and something weird has happened. First i flatted the wheel, then used etch primer on the bare alloy bits, then primed, colour coated and then lacquered, the wheel looked great, all new and shiney. this was about six weeks ago and since then it has been in my garage. yesterday i went to the wheel, it still looked awesome and thought ok tomorrow i will refit it, so applied a coat of mer wax and it looked fine. Today i went to fit it and ,,,,,,,,, the lacquer is full of little cracks???????? Now i used acrylic paint as i was told this is harder wearing but should it have reacted to wax in this way, or have i prepped it incorrectly?
