carplan wonder wheels

[kic]

used this yesterday, poured some in a plastic cup and attacked my wheels worked really well BUT i poured the excess in the grass and its turned orange which makes me wonder what the F**K is it doing to my wheels????

 

[koi]

Yeah stuff is very acidic, used it once and now it's gathering dust in the garage.

 

[mattjk]

lol turned orange, did you spell your name with it?

 

[Sarah]

i guess its similar to oven cleaner then!!!lol killing the grass

 

[Rich]

It is harsh as you like ! Shifts grime easily but if you have ever use it on a polished wheel you will see how quickly it dulls the finish.

Two options for it imho. Save it and use it for really grimey wheels, or water it down heavily to make it much more aggressive.

Though - Now you wheels are clean, polish and seal them and you will only need car shampoo and water in future.

cheers for the advice rich, i got 5ltrs of it for free,

 

[Rich]

Leave some full strength then and mix some with water, at least 50/50 !

[Mark One]

it's harsh. If your going to use it, THOUROUGHLY wash the wheels afterward

I can vouch for that lol

 

[Michael172]

[Schweppy]

I would! It did burn a bit!

Could not have been factory paint on them then.

 

[mattjk]

It still shouldnt strip normal paint though. Just how long did you leave it on there lol!

 

[Ali]

I can't see the need for this stuff...I rarely need cleaner on my wheels and if i do it's APC...

 

[rawbhp]

i have used it before on painted and powder coated wheels with a lot of success. you just have to be careful with how long you leave it on and wash the wheel thoroughly afterwards. it's won a lot of awards for being the most effective cleaner.

 

[mattjk]

Lol purely on the strengh of the product! It aint winning any awards for being kind on wheels

 

[Rich]

Ditto, on a wheel keep car soap and water should be fine.

Really and they say this stuff is LSP friendly. Glad I don't use it anymore.

 

[Michael172]

[Michael172]
