If you clean the wheels regularly, as it has been said on here many times, ordinary soap and water will do the job, no need to take the chance with acid cleaners.

I think a few people have used it with no problems. But once you have used it try and keep them clean as grasey says, then you won't have to use it too often.

Keep cleaning the wheels in soapy water with a good wheel sealer like Poorboys and youll never need it
If, however, you allow them to get filthy..You WILL need it

I used it last week as my wheels had been a bit neglected over winter. It does work really well but don't use it if a wheel is scuffed as it is quite acidic. As long as your careful and don't leave it on for long I think it's fine- used it on last car with no probs- just use a wheel wax after to give some protection and make wheels easier to clean.

Tisk, tisk at that comment. Don't matter what the weather is like my car gets a good cleaning every week! I washed one in the dark on Monday night, it got the full works and it was going to be very cold that night. If you can't find the time to do the whole car then I would say take 10 mins to do the wheels with some hot soapy water every week and you shouldn't have a issue when it comes to your full blown clean
