I bought a 2015 CPO 535i xdrive with dual finish wheels (silver and powder coat). The dealer refinished them three times (now) because they keep turning white/yellow under the clear coat vs. staying clear. I was told water and dirt are getting behind the finish but so far no permanent solution on how to fix it. Any thoughts on how to stop this from continuing to happen?

Looks to me like poor preparation. They seem to be just spraying clear over the damaged section. Or they got wet/damp before the clear fully cured.

It may be too wet/damp since there's no actual damage to the wheel and they start off clear and eventually turn this color. One time the wheel in the first image etched which makes me believe it's something they're doing wrong/rushing the process.
