What we've found, the answer is YES, but we still cannot decide that's the chemical from wheel cleaner or from the car detail stuffs.

So for now, I will say stay away from it

wow, how bad is brake dust on your wheels? soap and water seems to work for me. then I usually give them a good wax.

but then again, I clean my wheels once or twice a week.

Eagle One A to Z wheel cleaner works great on my stock 18"s. I follow the instructions, never spray on warm or hot rims.....wait 30 seconds, and rinse off. I still give them a final cleaning with my car wash soap.

After they dry, I coat them with SONUS acrylic detail spray.

Thanks

I know what that stuff is. It works really well, but if you leave it for too long it will eat through clear coat. I have seen a rim my friend had it on for over 4 hours and it ate the clear coat. It's made by touch of class. It's good for only a very short period, but I wouldn't use it all the time.

Simple Green works just fine for cc wheels. Eats through the break dust and doesn't hurt a thing.

Use it all the time on the G. Used it on the SVT before that. And the Pathfinder too.

All with cc wheels. Not a problem.
