Sounds great!
Yah, a lot of times what appears to be pitting on the wheels is just tar.

You should also be able to feel whether the blemish is indented, as with a pit, or on top of the surface, as with tar, etc. I'll have to admit though, sometimes it is difficult to tell, especially if the spot is really small.
Congrats on the detailing success. I too have been amazed more than once in the past few years of what a clay bar can do. A definite 'must have' in your detailing arsenal. -

nabeshin, what did you use for lube? I have found soapy water works good when claying wheels.

I used the spray that came with the claybar, it says 'clay lube' on it. I got the cheap claybar from autozone.

That Clay Magic clay kit works just fine - I've used it before.

Agreed... clay bar rocks!! My MINI is in the garage... but there are times in Fl, when you HAVE to get some shade when out side, the the good ole Fla Pine is bad news!! Along with the Oaks/ Sycamore.. blah blah..
The wifes 330i was ruff... after a bit of clay bar.. it is as smooth as glass It takes no longer than to give a good wash!!
Just a thought..
