Recently I read on a detailing forum that one should avoid using strong wheel cleaners at every wash as they can eventually break down clear coats and other surfaces. Is this the case? My 2018 ZL1 makes a TON of brake dust which isn't a big deal because I wash it just about weekly/after every drive, but the Wheel Cleaner is a god send, strips the stuff right off with help from the red brush and I reseal them with Hydro2 when I see the beading slowing down.
Should I use a dilution of CS or other cleaner for most washes and only use Wheel Cleaner when the build up gets bad?
