Just so peeps know it says "contains Sodium Hydrochloride" which is acid last time I did chemistry so be careful out there. :scared:

....Are you 100% sure that it's in sufficient quantity to be a problem unless you don't sufficiently hose off your wheels afterwards. There is also the CYA factor to consider. Autoglym claim that this product is safe for all wheel types.
This is a new product from Autoglym.
stealthwolf:
Autoglym products are meant to be consumer friendly and consequently can't be too damaging or they'd get complaints and claims for damages.
The most effective part of that kit is the brush. Agitating dirt makes it much easier to lift off when rinsing.
Two questions RR:
- did you protect the wheels afterwards?
- why do the wheels have to be dry?

Did I say that it was in sufficient quantity to be a problem? :confused:
That's not for me to decide but the buyer and user of the product should be aware they are spraying Sodium Hydrochloride onto their wheels. I it were my car with diamond cut wheels I would avoid.

....No but I think you heavily implied it, although I realise that you may not have meant to.
Coupled with VC's post immediately afterwards, I got the strong impression that any Sodium Hydrochloride could be very dodgy and was so in people's past experience.
As far as diamond-cut wheels are concerned it seems unfortunately that most chemical solutions are a potential hazard! I think this needs answering by Autoglym.

....I agree and for now at least, I trust Autoglym's claim about being safe for use on all wheel types.
I was using the brush to agitate very soon after gunning the white gunk and noticed how grey it became as it lifted off the nasty black stuff.
- Did I protect the wheels afterwards? - Not so far.
- Why do the wheels have to be dry? - I assume you mean before application. Because IIRC it says so in the press release (I need to check this). I don't understand why or if it's at all important.
