Scratched alloys while cleaning
Alloys are painted so sure you will scratch them with that brush. You can still polish these tiny scratches with polishing ball.

I was having some paint scratches repaired on my wife's car a few days ago (some kind soul thought it would look better with a key scratch along the wing). The paint man was having a look at the QQ. He explained to me how the wheels are finished. They are painted all black and then the diamond milling machine takes a skimming off to reveal the metal. It has some other finishing process, but the end result means that the join between the black paint and silver alloy it quite delicate. His advice was to use a wash-mit, as I do, and nothing more abrasive. He also said not to go anywhere near the many hand carwash establishments that are popping up everywhere. The get a lovely sparkling finish, by using quite aggressive traffic film remover that will attack the paint/metal join and cause the paint to flake eventually.
