[QUOTE="Toxix, post: 130043, member: 3156"] This is actually an amazing question. The answer is that most wheel cleaners work perfectly on paint wheels. It's the satin, matte, porous wheels that are a huge problem when using wheel cleaners. They basically absorb the harsh chemicals which permanently stain the wheel. Got a clear-coated, painted, glossy wheel? Use whatever you want, hell, you can even use Iron X for every wash and you won't have a problem, it really is a problem with the non-clearcoated wheels. I've given a few options to my clients, I can machine polish each wheel with an aggressive metal polish for approximately $300+ and get it looking almost as good as new or they can refinish it. Most, if not all of them trust me to polish out their wheels. Its a headache but I get it, they want to retain the factory finish on their $4500+ set of wheels; I would do the same. [/QUOTE]
