I just started using it. Works very well. Not sure if it's bad for the finish or not.

Default I don't use it on my wheels...Would you use it on your paint?

There is a clear plastic coating on my wheels, I only wash them, if I was a true Appliantoligist I would probably wax them too.

Default it works very well

takes off alot of grime right away, but it may be too strong.

i've since switched to the audi wheel cleaner. doesn't remove grime as quickly, but if i go over the wheel with a brush, it all comes off.

Default They have 2 types of "HOT RIMS" Cleaner

One is HOT RIMS safe on ALL types of rims it is a purple bottle and it actually works really good

The other is GOLD CLASS which is not for UnCoated or polished aluminum wheels if you don't know use the HOT RIMS in the purple bottle.

I also have found NO wheel cleaner yet that I don't have to use a brush on. especially with Audi brake dust.

Agree.. most of that stuff is acid based. Use soap and water.
