    Re: Wire Wheel Covers - Cleaning?

    You mentioned that there was Polish Aluminum on them ... DO NOT use Spray and Rinse on them or any acidic cleaner as it will oxidize the aluminum parts. If they happen to be coated (when you polish them black does not come off) Spray and Rinse would be perfect for cleaning those wire hard to reach rims.

    Thanks, Merlin. Will keep a note handy about Reload. Thanks too for the steam cleaning recommendation before. I decided to stay low budget and avoid buying more new tools.

    Yeah, the acid treatment sounds destructive to aluminum. Thanks for the caution flag.

    Not just acids either, strongly alkaline products can mess with aluminum too.

    This is one of those "first, do no harm..." situations.
