Be careful with wonder wheels tho - I used it on a SS tailpipe & it left a horrible mark on it - I did the top first so it really noticed - try a bit underneath first just in case....

If you were to keep it clean from new, i.e. regular washing, you wouldn't need any cleaners

autosol here as well, you must be leaving your car a long time between a good wash, for it to be sooo bad that autosol wont shift it?
