Just wanted to get the "current" board opinion on this stuff. Yay or nay?
I had some money to burn (read: gift card) at Wal-Mart tonight, and since I can`t stand that place and never set foot in there unless I absolutely have to, I decided to get some automotive products. Picked up 1/2 gallon of Bleche-White, 2 cans of Stoner Invisible Glass, and a bottle of E1 A2Z Wheel Cleaner.
Do you guys actually like Bleche-White? I`ve heard good stuff about it but was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get the best results with it, etc...

I don`t think you`ve heard good stuff at Autopia about Westley`s. Many of us here hate it and no one hates it more than I. It has a well-earned rep for fading tires and staining wheels.

I haven`t tried it, not because i didn`t want to, but because i heard it can really do some damage to rims
You could always exchange it for more A2Z, which works well on tires too. :)

You might as well use straight laundry bleach. Plus, if you have nice wheels, you won`t after using WBW a few times.
I put it in the same category as Simple Green.

agreed..... I used to use it -- until it totally trashed a set of alloy wheels I had... never again.

From what I`ve read on Autopia, blech is an appropriate name for the stuff. ;)

I use bw on my white walls, but you still need another product to clean the rest of your tires. If you get any on your alloy wheel or hubcap, rinse it off immediately.

Tried it before. Nothing takes care of cleaning brown tires like this stuff does.
I actually thought they changed their formula a year or so ago. I`ve talked to people who have used it for years on their vehicle and their customer`s vehicles and haven`t noticed any problems with it.

Hmm, looks like there`s a return in my future...
Thanks for the opinions guys. Guess I`m glad I asked...
I use it to clean my sneakers but 1/2 would last you a lifetime
