Hey guys I have some light swirls in the lips of my Volk GTS wheels and was wondering if Swirl X would be safe to use to remove them? The lips are clear coated and annodized, while the face is powdercoated and it should be clear coated. Can I use the Swirl X on the entire wheel including inside the barrel without damaging it or removing too much clear? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SwirlX is on the milder side of abrasiveness and should not be a problem for your wheels.

should be fine, I use optimum polish II on my TE37 then top it with Four Star UPP

Thanks guys. I have a problem though... I just cleaned my wheels which were KAIO`d inside and out about 2 weeks ago and now have a water stain inside the barrel of each wheel. The faces and lips are fine, only the inside of the barrel were I think water sat when I was cleaning only the paint over the weekend. I am thinking that re-applying KAIO will remove it? Does Swirl X have any cleaning properties to remove this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SwirlX will have a little more bite than KAIO and should work well.

Thanks guys. I did this about two weeks ago, but decided to skip KAIO since the Swirl-X gave me amazing results. I just went straight to KSG since I had already spent close to 6 hours on the wheels with Swirl X. Thanks again for all the suggestions. I can`t believe I let my wheels lose that much shine, eventhough they really weren`t that bad to begin with (except to me). The durabilty of KSG is amazing though. I haven`t washed my wheels in two weeks and in the shade, and even in the sun, they still look relatively clean.
