Is it ok to use acidy based wheel cleaners like auto glym alloy wheel cleaner on black wheels or will it totally shag them up?

Have stopped using the acid based cleaners - having used them for 12 months or so they knackered the wheels on my Alpha. I used it once on the elise and they made the brake calipers fizz!

I now use it to clean the chain on my mountain bike instead of Muck-Off degreaser.

Try "Wonder Wheels"...it works very well but like any cleaner, should be thoroughly washed off

I would not be surprised if a sudden downpour dissolved a LOTUS!
