I wanted to comment on this earlier. When I was youngster, Iduno back 78/79, I didn't have my license yet, we use to get huge snow storms in MI, more than 2' easy all at once. But we don't get them anymore, I mean they're non existent around here anymore. Bear probably remembers since he's a little closer. Not sure why that is now, but I recall some big ones way back when, at least a few every winter. Perhaps it's something to do with Global warming? Now it's just cold slushy and shiiity here anymore...oh and salt from hell everywhere.

If y’all have aluminum rims this aluminum brightener works great, got it at Napa. Still needs some elbow grease to look perfect but they cleaned up really well

Damn, I'll say...did a great job. The outside of my rims are fine, but the insides are black and disgusting lol. So it's just call aluminum brightener by Napa. Thought I was going to have use a stripper to clean them up.....once I got around to it.

Yep, was recommend from FTE, sounded like snake oil, still did not believe the videos as they were not the most intelligent posters... still what everyone recommended so I gave it a try. Literally all I did was hose off rims with water. Sprayed this directly on rims, let sit for 30seconds and rinse off...only believed it cause I saw it lol $14.99 for the jug. I suspect it would have worked even better if I used a pressure washer like some of the videos... I took a rag and then a brush on a few spots and the grime/dirt/whatever it was was still coming off. I may throw some elbow grease into it or this might be the motivation I have needed to replace my broken pressure washer

I should clarify, the FTE recommendation is a reputable guy, the YouTube videos I watched were the not so intelligent guys lol

That's great! Normally that stuff takes some major elbow grease to clean off. Then you have the brake dust to worry about. This looks like a must have IMO. Thanks for the info.

I've used this before. It works but removes the clear quickly.

Did anyone read the bottom lines of the description on the label? It says "Except" for use with highly polished, Chrome or clear coated wheels. Meguiar's has a aluminum wheel cleaner for about $8, that works well and doesn't screw with the clear coat. I use this one here.
