It says EXCEPT uncoated aluminum (more!!) (archive)

I bought Instant Wheel Cleaner(Meguiar's Gold Class) today. I decided not to use it after reading the directions, stating that it should only be used on "Uncoated polished aluminium wheels". I know the wheels on my 530 are not polished aluminium wheels so I would like to ask this forum if anyone has used this product and if they are happy with it.
Also are there any products better than this or some other way to keep wheels clean on regular basis!
Thanks.

Reread it, it says For Use On All Wheels... EXCEPT Uncoated Aluminum.

I have used it, its excellent stuff, although a little pricey (good for about 2 (4 wheel) cleanings).
I have found WESTLEYS ALL WHEEL cleaner to be excellent as well and use it now instead. It last alot longer for $3.99 a bottle at Pep Boys.

Also get one of those soft wire brushes from Target, they work well after applying the wheel cleaner to finish cleaning it. Just spraying the chemical helps get the brake dust off, but to truely get it all off use the softw wire wheel brush to scrub it.

Also be sure to WAX your rims, doesn't take that long, helps keep the brake dust from EATING INTO the clearcoat. Also makes cleaning easier in the future.
