Ladies and Gentlemen, those of you with sensitive eyes should not read this message.

I used EasyOff on my wheels and it worked like a charm. Really!

No, I am not a heretic. It didn't do any significant damage (at least not compared to the Campbell soup of chemicals I tried before I got to EasyOff).

Please allow me to explain. I purchased an 11 year old car that was looked at after very well, just not the insides of the multi-holed wheels a 1992 300E came with. So I decided to get them perfectly clean before I put them on the car. It had the winter wheels on it when I bought it.

Dishwashing liquid cleaned a little.
P21S Gold (at $30 CAD a bottle) did a little better. Some spots, very much better.
Castrol Superclean did very well and it was only around $5 a bottle.
P21S Gold, the second bottle still did only a little better.
S.O.S. pad - steel wool with detergent did nothing but scratch the few places I tried it on.
Then I got angry and tried the ceramic counter top cleaner for stoves. BAD IDEA.
Finally, I tried EasyOff. Out of fear, I left it on for only a few seconds. I was amazed. As I inspected the wheel and got braver, I tried another coat and left it on longer and longer.

To keep a long story to medium length, I wish I had just used Easyoff right from the beginning. I would have saved alot of money and my fingerprints.

After a coat of Meguiar's Step 2 and Step 3, the wheels look brand new (except for the spots missing a coat of paint from the ceramic cleaner).

There. I feel much better now having shared this with you all.

Thank you.
