Default Just spray it on and hose it off wheel cleaner

I was amazed at this product for my chrome wheels. I haven't cleaned my rear wheel since probably late spring of last year. I am skeptical of those "just spray on" type cleaners. I tried this Black Magic cleaner just to try it and WOW, did it do a fantastic job. I literally sprayed it on, soaking it pretty good because I was like "right!" and by the time I hooked up the hose, (says it just takes a minute or two, and rinse off with cold water) and even before I sprayed it off, it was clean. I wish I would have taken a before pic but thought you guys might like to see the end result. I didn't wipe at all. I blew it off with my air hose. Check it out.

I've noticed a lot of bottles of chrome wheel cleaners specifically state not to use them on motorcycle wheels. I've used aluminum wheel cleaner on my chrome rims with really good success because it doesn't have this restriction printed on the back...it's less caustic.

The last spray on wheel cleaner that I used ate the asphalt sealer off My driveway.So I clean with a sponge and soap and water.

I checked it out and the bottle doesn't say "no motorcycles wheels" it says chrome wheels only. And I looked at the MSDS and it doesn't say anything about excluding motorcycles either. It does say "wash off with cool water in 1-2 minutes. so I guess if you leave it sit on coated driveway it might ruin it. My chisel wheels look cool but are pita to clean so I found an easy way to shine them up.

^ Good to know that it doesn't exclude motorcycle wheels. Can't get any easier than spraying on and rinsing off, that's for sure. Looks like it worked really well in your pic!

Be very very careful with wheel cleaner and other cleaners like Simple Green, especially if you have polished aluminum or clear coasted wheels. Many chrome wheel cleaners have acid in them and will damage polished aluminum or clear coat on wheels. They usually work good on true chrome wheels, but don't leave it on too long.
