Most detail shops couldn't meet deadlines without acid-based wheel cleaners and solvents. Yes, there are safer chemicals, but they can double cleaning time.
Wear gloves, work in ventilated areas, and use a respirator when necessary (extended exposure to solvents). You'll be fine, like the 99% of detailers that use these chemicals.
The greatest threats to detailers are sore lower backs and empty wallets.
