Default To Denny, or anyone considering using P21S finish restorer on their wheels...

Denny, I may be misquoting you, but I believe that you wrote that you used P21S finish restorer on your wheels with good results.

Today, I took my TT to my VERY experienced and outstanding detailer and asked if he thought I should use this to bring out some luster in my wheels. His response was, "No way! These wheels are clearcoated. You'll destroy or damage the clearcoat." I replied, "Do you think so?" He responded, "I know so."

So once again, not sure if I'm misquoting Den or not, but either way, sounds as if it might not be the best idea to use this stuff on the wheels. Oh, and it does work great on other household items.

Default That's about it. My detailer felt that it stood a good shot at damaging the clearcoat...

If you did remove the clearcoat, you'd just have to polish your wheels a lot.

I'm sure that's fine, as long as it's not an abraisive cleaner wax.

Default The amount I use is miniscule. Everyone else take this advice.

I know what I see and it's not damaging a thing. Barely even rub it....clear coat totally intact and beautiful.
