A guy I work with told me to try it, WOW, they look amazing. In the ingredients, it shows 99.78% inert ingredients, and .11% ammonium chlorides, and .11% dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides.
I dont know what this stuff is, but it shined my rims up real good, and with a fresh lemony sent too

Sounds like a winner to me.Did you have to scrub it or just spray on rinse off.Only thing i'd be concerned about is leaving some residue on the aluminum that could tarnish or damage it.
I just sprayed it on and wiped it right off. I just one side on the front and a spot on the back. Im going to do the whole thing tomarrow. It made it shine in a way I didnt think they were able to shine, considering its not polished. It got rid of the water spots and just left a clean shine. Very nice indeed.
ammonium chlorides works in the short run but will damage the rims in the long run .. Any type of ammonia based product will cause damage to aluminium.. Only use petrolem based products when cleaning aluminium. Learned this quite a while ago on my trailer wheels.. At 650 a pop and with 10 of them on my tractor and trailer, it can be an expensive learning tool..
Ask any person that buff's or finishes aluminium out for a living.. There is a place in Florence SC that does aluminium, I think the name is prime-cut.. They cut and polish aluminium and stainless steel..

Yup, it is an acid, and i would imagine long term use could cause some damage. Would be nice to find a cleaner that does as well that is not harmful in the long term, AND has a lemony fresh scent.
Stuff I use is liquid.. Much easier to use than the bars and machine buffing.. I only machine buff if the stuff is real bad, but the liquid is good for light to moderate cleaning and buffing..

I am still going to use it on my rims. Im doing a test on a piece of aluminum and an old bicycle tire on a chrome rim. Im spraying them and not wiping it off to see how long it takes to see ill effects. The stuff gets sprayed in tubs and other bathroom fixtures and seems not to bother them. So Id have to say I woulndt tell others to use it cause I dont know what will happen long term, but my guess is nothing will happen.
My buddy has spoked rims and it is what he uses. You can see the brake dust and dirt flow away. The stuff is amazing, again its not made for rims, and maybe for a reason, but Im using it. I will probably use it once a month or so durring the heavy cleaning.
I think Scrubbing Bubbles was meant to be rinsed off. It works very well on quite a few household and garage items. But it is normally rinsed off with plain water, which should remove any of the acid I would think.
I never really detailed my cast wheels until this year, and I have an 02 1800 Retro. I spent a few hours and a few beers cleaning my wheels this year. I had some stains and used a green kitchen scrub pad and Soft Scrub to clean them up really good.... then I used a Brillo pad to smooth em up a bit, and finally I used White Diamond metal polish. The process made the wheels look better than new. BUT, I think that Scrubbing Bubbles a good fresh water rinse and then some White Diamond polish will do great too. The key is rinsing.....
