Yes, I agree, I've used it for a while now but one thing to note.
I used it on my VRS and my Renault before that and I must admit, the wheels were both tarnished and there were quite bad 'bubbling' on several areas of those alloys. I would say the same goes for most acid based cleaners, the wheel laquer will not protect the alloy for long.
It's VERY corrosive and I only use it now when the wheels (mostly the front) get heavily 'dusted'. I would recommend just a sponge and small brush when you wash your car, that does the job. Then occasionally use an acid based cleaner.
Remember to 'rotate' the wheels from front to rear (normal procedure to even tyre wear) and that way the wheels get an 'even dose' of acid.
Just thought I'd mention this for those who intend to keep thier car for a while.

I've been using Wonder Wheels for years... Get it... won't disappoint... Be prepared to spend quite a while on doing it though as it requires quite a bit of rubbing if it's caked on!!!
