Wheel acids should not be used on clear coated wheels or aluminum non-coated wheels. I am speaking of wheel cleaners with a hydroflouric acid...these can not only damage your cars materials but also kill the user, literally.

There are safer wheel cleaners out there now, still acid based but not of the hydroflouric nature. Poorboys, Hi-Temp, Valu-Guard and Top of the Line make some very effective yet very safe wheel cleaners.

Heavy duty wheel acids do a great job on chrome wheels but can wreak other materials. As already noted you may now need to spend some time polishing these areas out OR if they are too far gone you can have them stripped and then re-cleared.

Hope that helps,
Anthony
