    Use it diluted if you do apply it. Test an inconspicuous spot first. In this case, BLACKFIRE Total Eclipse Tire and Wheel Cleaner is a better choice.

    Some APC are OK on the polished aluminum. The three basic types of APC are chemical, citrus and detergent based.

    Example PB APC is a detergent based cleaner, and safe on most all surface even at 100%

    That said polished aluminum can stain / cloud up very easy with APC or other strong cleaners. Of course this can be polished out, but who wants to go thought that work if you don`t have to?

    I use PB APC on a 10 to 1 and have not has one issue with it at that ratio. As suggested try and area to start with to see how it reacts on the metal
