Planning on diluting it 1:1 with water....just wondering if it`s safe to do it or not



MB brake dusts are pain in the ***...



can I spray PB S&R on rotors and caliper as well?

planning on painting my caliper



3rd question...can I use it about once a month...will it damage my wheels??

I can`t say if those wheels have a CC or not.



I use it once a month FS on the wife`s BMW wheels 1-2 times a month. After 1.5yrs of use the center plastic caps are starting to get etched somewhat.



I am thinking on your benz wheels, I would use it once to get them really clean. They I would apply a good AIO and then a sealant. On a few clients wheels, I have used ZAIO and CS with very good results. One friend has a newer super bee with the brembo calipers/pads, after 5 months he said all he has to do is wash with carwash soap and the dust comes right off.

if you rub it with a metal polish and your towel turns black it is uncoated. If it doesn`t turn black it is clear coated. That is how I determine what to use.

I have used it on Fords, Lexus and Dodges and no isseues...Hell, I love the stuff!!

[kyotousa]

So lets say they don`t have coating....can I still use it?



I thought this is mild stuff....Is there poorboy rep here?



Well dust come right off....but still a pain cuz I have to wipe it....and then my MF gets dirty so i`d have to wash it.....

You know BMW and MB have enormous amount of dust haha



Spray and rinse sounds good...but on the bottle it says do a test on uncoated and highly polish wheels.....I was like ***...



gmblack - Did you dilute before you use?

why would it eat through the paint....shouldn`t washing it with soapy water neutralize the acid affect?

bumpy bump

if you rub it with a metal polish and your towel turns black it is uncoated. If it doesn`t turn black it is clear coated. That is how I determine what to use.



I emailed PB and got a fast reply



PB said I should test the wheel.

So my question is how do I do it? It seems like you are talking about liquid metal polish

However, the only metal polish I have is wadding Polish...

So I tear off a piece of wadding rob it on the wheel...then wipe off with towel

If it`s black then it`s not coated? if it is then it is coated?....

[pt91]

wadding polish has a chemical cleaner. if the wadding turns black you are rubbing pure metal not clear coat. If you are rubbing metal be more cautious with your chemical wheel cleaners.
