DWC and Raw Billet Aluminum

[BRZN]

I've seen this question asked here and was asked it several times while at the Adam's Tent at the Spring Carlisle Swap Meet in late April. I couldn't answer from experience until now.

 

Can Adam's new Deep Wheel Cleaner be used on Raw Billet Aluminum?

 

The answer: Yes, but...

It does leave a slight haze that won't wash off, it needs polished off. Tough to take a good picture of a shiny wheel, but I did capture the haze; it's in the above picture on the edge of the wheel near the tire.

The wheel was washed dry according to instruction, was cool and done in the shade. The haze didn't wash off with GWC or with a WW wipe down I did prior to Metal Polish #1.

 

The good news: Metal Polish #1 took the haze right off by with no hard scrubbing required.

Thanks for experimenting with this Dave. I've stayed away from DWC on my wheels as they are still new and freshly polished and sealed. It's good to know it can be used with the knowledge of polishing them up will be needed.
