Please never put Wonder Wheels anywhere near your alloys or brake calipers, it is acid based & will destroy the finish, plenty of better ones out there or better still polish & seal your wheels & you can get all the dirt off with car shampoo.

I've used Wonder Wheels before and found it good. The one thing they said that it should ONLY be used on painted surfaces; definitely not bare alloy - including if the paint has been scratched off.
