Okay thanks, i picked up a bottle.
I hope it won't damage the paint on the wheels.

Do you use it straight out of the bottle or diluted??

Straight. Just buy the 32 oz bottle it's like 3-4 bucks and when you like it (which I know you will) just by the gallon and refill it. A gallon is like $8.

What!?!? Gallon for $8, i only saw the 32 oz

PS: I usually spray the entire tire with a cleaner wait 30 second and scrub.
So there will be some product misted on the wheels, that will be fine right lol?
I never used anything other than "Car specific" chemicals, just don't want it to leave a dripping mark / stain on the wheels.

Sorry $9. It will be fine if it gets on the wheels just rinse them with water first. I've used it near my polished bare aluminum wheels with no issues. Just be smart.

That looks great!! Will look even better with the extra gloss of the clear coat paint.

I spray the tire and wheel and keep them 100% wet until it's time to rinse. A lot of the harsher cleaners I've used will only leave staining on a wheel when they're allowed to dry partially.

As the water evaporates from the cleaner, the cleaner left on the wheel becomes more and more concentrated as more and more water dries out of it. It is only in this concentrated state that you get the etching left behind in "gravity streaks".

Keep it fully wet until rinse time and it's a non issue.

This is why it is recommended to work one wheel at a time, so the products and techniques used can be 100% controlled from start to finish.
