PRO Power Acid Cleaner...advice needed

[JustinL]

Hey everyone. I just recieved my PRO POWER Acid Cleaner today and plan on using tomorrow on a BMW 3 series wheels that look almost beyond helping.



I ordered this product b/c I remember it being discussed on here before...and people were using it on all types of wheels.



But I want to be cautious b/c the directions say only to use it on Chrome and Stainless Steel....but others said they were having no problems using the acid on clearcoat wheels as well.

Just making sure I can use this product without distroying this 2004 3-series` wheels!!



What should the dilution ratio be? Any advice would be appriciated.

I don`t know from *that* product, but I`d be very careful using a strongly acidic product on aluminum wheels. I`ve used other products of this type and where there were breaches in the clear it etched/clouded the aluminum in a way that couldn`t be repaired without complete refinishing.



Yeah, people here do it frequently, but I for one would only do it if I were prepared to eat the cost of refinishing the wheels.
