It's seriously good stuff. A years worth of rock-solid crud just dissolved. It does come with all sorts of warnings about not using it if the lacquer is damaged etc. Even the bloke behind the till in the shop I bought it from warned me not to leave it on the wheels for more than 30 seconds. I ignored all of that, of course, and left it on my scuffed alloys for a couple of minutes. It didn't do any extra damage. The scuffs were just clean scuffs afterwards. YMMV, of course. I accept no responsibility if it dissolves your wheels leaving only a shell of hard brake-dust ;o) Cheers, Colin.
