Has anybody used Eagle 1's cleaner specifically for wire and chrome wheels?
I am a little hesitant to use it on my GT6 chrome spoke wheels, but I
tried it on the old truck chrome wheels and they came out GREAT! Look as
good as the day I put them on. I noticed however, that after they had
dried, there was a white residue on the inside of the wheels where I
couldn't dry or reach with the sponge. I was really impressed, but the
truck I don't really care about. Those wheels don't cost upwards of a
grand to replace. My main concern was the long term effects. The
ingredients list several acids, albeit mild, and cautions to use with
gloves. I was thinking of removing the wheels from the car, using the
cleaner, and then spraying with a baking soda/water solution to neutralize
the acids and wiping dry. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Or should I go
back to the foamy engine cleaner and nylon brush pain in the a** route?
The old truck wheels really looked great after a cleaning with the stuff,
even took off the slight rust!
