User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this on plastic dip rims
Answer:	Imho, the power washer probably is doing most of the cleaning. I used this on my motorcycle wheels, my aftermarket wheels on my Toyota Tacoma, oem wheels on my girl's Audi SUV and none of them came clean when following the instructions and a garden hose. Simple green works as good or better and it is better for the environment and hoses off easily.
Question:	Video shows them rinsing with a power washer... Is that whats doing most of the cleaning? Can you rinse with a spray nozzle on a garden hose to ger re
Answer:	I have used this product to remove BMW brake dust, which, as you likely know, can be black, thick and gritty. You spray this stuff on (I have a BMW 325xi), it turns color in about 5-7 minutes. Then give it a gentle brushing with a nylon-bristle brush, and hose it off. Done. The other wheel cleaners I have tried are a joke compare to this stuff, but it's relatively expensive. I can't tell you whether it would remove rust, although I doubt it.
Question:	Can you spray this onto a BMW 328i's wheel hubs to remove rust? I would, of course us a brush to actually scrub residue off... but is it safe
Answer:	In my experience, not many. I have 22" wheels and one bottle can do maybe 8 wheel treatments. So, for 16-17", maybe 12 treatments? Stuff is expensive but it works like magic & worth the cost.
Question:	how many wheels can 1 bottle treat? (assuming moderately-dirty 16" or 17" wheels
Answer:	It is not recommended. This is a spray-on hose-off wheel cleaner formulated to remove brake dust. For chrome plated bumpers and other plated metals, try our California Gold Chrome Polish.

Answer:	This product is a fine polish. A good wash first and then if there is rust and grime you may be best very fine bronze wool, you could try steel wool 00000 0 but it will eventually haze theChrome. When that is clean then use polish. This is a premium metal polish

Question:	Does this strip wax off my rims
Answer:	Wheel cleaners in general are going to be a bit more harsh because they have to break down brake dust amongst other contaminants. Chances are this will strip the wax off your wheels within a few uses. A ceramic coating would be more durable for rims or a PH balanced wheel cleaner because it won't be as acidic. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this product work on the brass bolsters of a Buck knife
Answer:	Don't know. Don't even know what that is to what you are referring. But what I can tell you is this stuff is the best wheel cleaner I've ever used.
Question:	How long do the effects last
Answer:	It cleans quickly. I would suggest watching a YouTube video on wheel restoration as I did. It was very helpful in cleaning my wheel. My wheel had years of brake dust built up and after some work and easy off oven cleaner on the inner wheel my wheels looked new. And paint for my wheels. I had to remove the crud before painting. As for how long it last, I'm not sure as I used it as a cleaner. Based on my experience, it should last several weeks. Good Luck!
Question:	Is this new formula stronger than full effect version ? thanks
Answer:	I can’t compare. But I had one BAD wheel from a worn brake pad. Two applications and a stiff brush cleaned it up well. The other three wheels one application and a brush did the trick. Never used a wheel cleaner on the wheels in the four years we have owned it. They look great now.
Question:	Is one bottle enough for all 4 tires? Would there be a any left over
Answer:	I generously sprayed all 4 of my rims and tires and had about 20% of the bottle left when I was done.

Question:	Is this safe to use on a ceramic coated vehicle
Answer:	Depends, but this will very likely have at least some impact on the coating so we do not recommend it if you are hoping to keep you coating in tact.
Question:	Has anyone used this on auto paint fallout? Saw on you tube the it does to get fallout out o paint
Answer:	Late - but as a mobile detailer you don't want to use this on paint. Yes, it works. But from an economical standpoint you are going to go through an entire bottle to cover the paint as this stuff is very thick and viscous in order to cling to wheels. Meguiars has a wheel and paint specific iron decon or you can use a product like gyeon quartz.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product have chlorine in it
Answer:	Not sure maybe.
Question:	I'd like to use this to clean my polished aluminum pontoon logs on my pontoon boat. would this work? or maybe mothers chrome wheel cleaner
Answer:	This is an industry trend as even though a particular wheel cleaner formula like this would be safe for common uncoated/polished motorcycle wheels (the cleaner doesn't care if the aluminum is attached to a motorcycle or a car), but the close proximity of finishes on which a particular formula might have a negative reaction are much greater on a motorcycle -- zinc or cadmium plated hardware, lines, anodized finishes, engine cases, etc. -- there's just a lot going on near a wheel on a motorcycle that have delicate or exotic finishes. So to avoid an unexpected and negative result, on all of our wheel cleaner products we make this precautionary statement.
Question:	Does this work for forged aluminum wheels
Answer:	Yes, it’ll work on any size jointer.
Question:	Why does it say on the bottle not to use on motorcycles
Answer:	yes works on all 6" and 8" jointers

User questions & answers

Question:	safe on powdercoated rims
Answer:	Idk. I black custom rims.
Question:	is this safe for satin black rims
Answer:	I understand that "Black Magic" has several wheel cleaners, but the one I use states that it is safe for all wheels.
Question:	Can i use a harley sportster wire wheel? 2018 1200 custom. thanks
Answer:	That doesn't depend on the characteristics of this cleaner, but rather on the wheel materials, finish, and the roughness of the brush. That said, this wheel cleaner is not great, not much better than soap and water.
