I'm sure this stuff probably works, but it's pretty strong...maybe too strong. You should be fine if you don't let it sit for more than 10 minutes and rinse right away. For me thought, I like using the least aggressive agent as possible. If soap doesn't work I use Adam's Green wheel cleaner...if that doesn't work, I use Sonax. I tend to wash my car about once every two weeks, so it never usually takes more than soap and water to clean. Because of the highly acidic nature of simple green, just make sure you don't let that stuff sit on any bare metal, especially aluminum. It will strip wax easily, which is the primary reason I don't use it at all. I also think they make a specific formula for wheels that may be a better choice. Sonax is acid-free and non-corrosive. It's pH neutral, which is why a lot of detailers love that stuff.
