Anybody Used WonderWheels?

[MakaveliX]

Got some wonder wheels colour active yesterday and did a great job of cleaning my alloys.
One thing though, it says " avoid getting on brake discs "

For a start that's impossible, as with any sort of spray for alloys your gonna get some on the discs.
I did clean off after 5 minutes maximum, but before I use it again I thought I'd ask what you guys think?
I'm thinking of ditching it and getting some Meguiars as it says on the back that it's fine to use on the discs too

On the back it also says there is no acids in the formuler

Thanks

Used to use it but switched to Billberry as much less aggressive and doesnt smell horrendous, but still does the job.

Any idea why it says to avoid the discs ? That's my only concern. I'm guessing it could affect braking if not cleaned off within 10 mins
As it's PH balanced and acid free I'd hope it's safe to use

All these wheel cleaners are much the same, they're all based on phosphoric acid. This won't affect brake discs, all it will do is etch the metal if not washed off , ie it'll stop flash rusting.

Fair enough, common sense then, wash off after 5 mins as per the instructions.

I wonder why Maguires stuff says you can use on discs too?

To be fair wonder wheels is reasonably priced and does a great job

avoid getting it on discs as it reacts with iron to shrink particles, intended to remove contaminants bonded to your wheels but can also pit discs if used too frequently.

you can avoid getting it on the discs by spraying on a brush and applying to the intended area rather than blasting the spray everywhere.

Thanks. Think I'll bin it and get something else then, wouldn't want to cause any issues with the discs
