• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Bought this on amazon without reading the fine print.

Meguiar's® Hot Rims™ Wheel & Tire Cleaner, G9524, 24 oz., Spray | Meguiar's

I have an SX... wondering if those black rims fall in to the " Safe and effective on factory painted and clear coated rims, and tires" category, or if I risk damaging them. Any thoughts / anyone use this?


************** edit... talked to support from meguiars on the chat function. Their response...

Unfortunately Kia and Hyudai are known to have a very weak/thin coating on their wheels. Although in theory it should be safe if used as directed we have seen issues with these wheels. You really should consider switching it out for our Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner.

Most products will tell you to test it out in a small or inconspicuous area first before applying everywhere. But good tip from their rep. Makes sense they would have information like that on all the various car brands.
