Does P21s wheel cleaner take off wax?

I have polished wheels that dont have clearcoat. After polishing them with mothers powerball, i then add Klasse AIO.

After couple weeks, if i used P21s wheel cleaner, would that take off the AIO?

almost certainly, any wheel cleaner must be aggressive to take off the brake dust!!!

I used to use P21S wheel cleaner before switching to Griot`s. Yeah, it`ll strip the wax off. Maybe not *all* of it, but it`ll take off enough that you`ll want to reapply. FWIW, I do all my wheel cleaning with car wash shampoo, a somewhat strong mix I keep in a spray bottle (but it`s been over 20 years since I last had bare aluminum wheels).

After applying the AIO, I`d probably apply KSG and see if it keeps them from oxidizing a little longer (and helps them stay clean with just the car wash).
