Wheel ACID

Just doing some garage cleanup.....and came across this bottle

So who`s still using Acid on your wheels.
I would not say I have reached detailing nirvana (don`t wanna jinx it), but I have not needed to use Acid in the last few years...

WB was always a one yearly use staple - right after winter, on the backside of the wheel is, where all the little nooks and crannies, I always use to give it a pre-dwell/was with Acid as it was the most efficient method for me to get it deep down clean.
 
Anybody ever have any issues with acidic Wheel Cleaners messing with the finish of the wheels, or attacking the aluminum in areas where the finish is compromised?

I`ve only used one such product (an oldie from TOL that I got in the `80s when we had the dealership) and only needed it when cleaning up old/neglected wheels on new-to-me vehicles.
 
I use it once or twice a year; usually when I’m pulling off the wheels for some reason. If used as directed; it’s completely safe for powder coated wheels. Seems to deep clean them better than anything else. Works better than any bleeding iron stuff as well.
