I have 5 litres of the stuff sat in the garage, been there for around 7 years now and remains unopened. Always worried about it being too harsh and stripping the coating off my alloys etc ! ! !

Is this stuff safe to use on the MR2 stock alloys? If yes then should I apply, agitate then remove after 30 seconds?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I used to use it all the time but not on the MR2. It's pretty effective but a bit of a faff. I doubt it will strip the coating off your alloys. It smells awful btw, I can still imagine the smell now and I've not used it for over 5 years. It's particularly good in summer for removing baked on brake dust.

Powerful stuff and can clean really heavy dirt off - Including where I had a brake pad down to metal and made a mess of a rear wheel.

Use with caution though -  Any sign of bubbling on the stock wheels and it will get in the cracks and increase the problem

Thanks for the views all, kind of reminded me why its still in the garage un-opened.  s:( :( s:(  

As my alloys are not perfect, think i best leave it be.

Again thanks.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
