Hi,

I have anthracite wheels which were re-furninshed and painted when i brought them. Was just wondering if it is okay to use wonder wheels to clean them or would the acidic content bugger up the finish?

thanks

I have seen a few posts advising not to use it, as it can get behind the lacquer.

I've used Wonder Wheels on my Prodrive OZ anthracite alloys. I haven't had problems with it (although yours being refurbished might make then more prone?). That said, Wonder Wheels can make the calipers look at bit naff.

If i were u i'd try to clean them up properly without it, just in case. The best way may to be to take each wheel off in turn and do it. If u can get them up properly use some form of alloy wheel protecter on it, I've been using the Halfords one for the last 18 months and it works very well. Autoglym also do one.

I should add that i do also use wonder wheels and have found it to be very good although i may think twice about using it on refurbished wheels. It could be an idea to try it on an area of the wheel where any damage won't show.

hi mate when i got some wheels refurbished not for the scoob. i spoke to the guy and he said the only way to wash them without invalidating the warranty etc, is with hot water and a sponge hope that helps

thanks for the advise everybody.

think i will stick to the sponge and try the autoglyn wheel protector. At least being black they do not show the dust too much...
