When I was a valeter I used it on powder coated rims with no problems. It's even ok to use on chrome and diamond cut rims, just don't leave it on there for too long.

i know a guy who used it on his polished split rims on a dimma 205, fooked the finish on them and autoglym wouldnt cough up even though it said it was suitable, tbh, autoglym wheel cleaner is the only wheel cleaner ive hear bad news about.

If you use a pressure washer they are a piece of piss. Just spray the wheels/spokes from ALL angles wait a minute or two, then blast them from the bottom upwards with the pressure washer.

Job Done


BTW you can dilute auto glym wheel cleaner
