Used CLR

Has anyone used the calcium lime rust remover on their rims? Someone recommended it to me but I was not so sure as to the reaction it will have on my rims. Anyone used this particular product before?

Is there any calcium, lime or rust in your rims?

Nope, according to what I was told... it makes a good rim cleaner. Hence, the reason for me asking to see if this even makes any sense @ all

If you are looking for a great wheel cleaner get the BMW-branded bottle... it really is made to deal with the OEM brake pads dust.

I try to avoid wheel cleaners as they bare very harsh. I know they work good but they will strip off any wax on the wheels. I find it is best to keep a good coat of wax on my rims and the brake dust is easier to remove. I just use my car soap and a microfibre wash mitt (not the same one I use on the car!) and I have good results.

No, do not recommend for your wheels, maybe for a stainless steel boat prop. This is to agressive for OEM, polished or clear coated wheels.....do not make the mistake!
