I've noticed tiny black spots appearing in the corners of the alloys which aren't comming off with wax, hot water, polish etc.

I've used wonder wheels on my old alloys with no adverse side affects but I know the stuff is pretty powerful.

Does anybody use it on their Prodrive OZ's (mine are gold)?

Any comments greatfully received.

Cheers

Chris

Used it on my Anthracite OZ Prodrives without any problems. I always use a fine garden type sprayer with mine.

Wonder Wheels good for wheels sh1te for callipers IMHO.

Thank you

I've only ever seen it with a brush application. Treat wheels, leave for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly

I wouldn't use it, far too aggresive IMHO.

Try Multiclean from Wax Wizard, or a clay bar, for really stubborn deposits.

I just pour it into a garden sprayer and you can reach the back of the wheels behind the spokes with ease Also gives a quick easy light covering. I just use the brush for the really stubbon bits.

I use it. Fine.

But watch those plastic caps!

It'll take the paint off them.

Unhappy

I had some problems with the finnish of my prodrive 18" titanuim rims...
Black blodges comeing through from under the laquere, dealer replaced all 4 as it started to appear on three of them..
My sprayer m8 said it was black base coat comeing through and that it had a single laquered finnish...

I'll mail you a photo if u like!
