Re: Wheel Brightener Questions
Seems to me I remember reading somewhere WB is something you want to use on a fairly dirty wheel, not light dust as its quite strong.Brandon

I understand it stains polished aluminum. I have a polished lip, is there a dilution rate I can use that wont stain it and still not strip the wax?
Thanks

If you insist on using Wheel Brightener then a 10:1 dilution is about as strong as I'd go for this particular use.Michael Stoops

Re: Wheel Brightener Questions
I use Wheel Brightener all the time, but only on coated rims, I use it at 4:1 but that will strip off wax as it great for break dust and is pretty stout stuff. I give it a spray, agitate it, and rinse it right away. As Mike in Orange recommends, try 8:1 or 10:1 and see if how that works out for you. Not sure I would use it on Aluminum wheels...
