First thing to determine is what kind of finish your wheels have. If they are painted silver or some other color, then the method to determine clearcoated wheels is the same as clearcoated paint: Apply a little polish or cleaner wax to the wheels and look to see if paint comes up on the applicator. Yes? No clearcoat. No? You got clearcoated wheels.
Now, if the wheels are polished aluminum or machined aluminum, you can test for clearcoat by applying aluminum polish like Mothers or Eagle One. If the app turns black and the polished area of the wheels is shinier, then no clearcoat.
Most chrome plated wheels are not clearcoated but are protected with the same products you'd use on paint.
So, how to use EFHI:
(1) Make sure wheel is cool to the touch. Do not clean hot wheels.
(2) Clean one wheel at a time.
(3) Rinse thoroughly.
(4) Spray EFHI evenly and liberally.
(5) Agitate with a soft brush if needed.
(6) Rinse with a strong stream of water immediately.
You can use EFHI to clean the tires too. Scrubbing with a stiff nylon brush will get them clean prior to dressing application.
Happy cleaning.
