The brembos on the Z are fantastic but they dust like a mother f_ _ _ er......

Haha. Definitely. Thanks for the input.

Acid works too lol.

I have the same product and use it only when utmost necessary and it works great. But do not use on machined or chrome wheels......

Plus you dilute that gallon 4:1 so basically 4 gallons of wheel cleaner for 20 bucks.

Been using this for nearly 2 years without issue. Like I mentioned I only use this when I need a deep clean.

Yeah it's fine to use just make sure you have the appropriate gear.

Hydrofluoric acid is the active ingredient (in the form of ammonium bifluoride) and that stuff can and will eat through skin.

When I use it, I wear a surgical mask, gloves, long sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes.

You don't want that touching you or inhaling it.

I use that ish with no mask.........

Do not use acid on clear coated rims... the clear will end up flaking off. Acid is for chrome or bare metal rims.

It says on the bottle that it is safe for clear coat rims lol........

Like any wheel cleaner it's 100% safe for clear coat rims if used as directed.

As mentioned I have been using this for 2 years (on my clear coated rims) without issue.
