Flitz - Anyone try it yet?
Re: Flitz - Anyone try it yet?
That stuff is great!!! It is excellent for polished clearcoated wheels. It cleans off oxidation without being abrasive. It is one of the best clearcoat wheel cleaners on the market!
I highly recommend it. Blue Magic works the same way, as a non abrasive wheel cleaner for clearcoated alum wheels, however, it takes a bit more effort with blue magic than with flitz.

Clearcoated aluminum wheels develop a white cloudy type of oxidation that will not clean by a conventional paint cleaner. It can be one of the hardest things on your car to clean. That is why a non abrasive wheel cleaner is needed. It is specially formulated to lift off chemically the oxidation while preserving your clearcoat surface.
You will not be able to use a paint cleaner (trust me) to lift off oxidation from polished clearcoated wheels. BTW, do not use any wheel polish like mother's billet or similar products. The polish MUST state that its non-abrasive and/or clearcoat safe.

I have some in my toolbox. Works great with some #000 steel wool to get water spots off the glass too.
Leaves a greasy film, but I just hit it with windex afterwards.
