Wheel Cleaner ok?

Would this cleaner be ok on my wheels? It says any finish but I just want to make sure, I don't want to eff them up lol. They are a hyper silver finish.

Hyper silver is the color, not the finish.

And it would help if you said exactly which wheel cleaner you're about to use.

Ahh, not I see the pics. They weren't loading at first. Personally I would just use quick detailer. Dunno how MMR wheels are finished.

I just use soap and water, I never trust those strong wheel cleaners. Just wash your wheels more often.

That A2Z is a good wheel cleaner. Its safe for those wheel if they have a clear coat finish.

Check the MSDS before using any cleaning product
pH 13.5 /14.0 (alkaline) - http://imv.complyplus.com/grainger/m...d=3074194#sec8

No, it's to acidic. Just use soap and water, if you want a safe wheel cleaner, get some P21S Wheel Gel or Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner Gel. I would seal them with some wheel sealant and just use soap and water.

I wouldn't trust this cleaner either - stick with dish soap - it works great and it's cheap.

13.5/14.0 is too alkaline
