Re: Acid suggestions

Muratic acid is used in many/most of the strong acid-based wheel cleaners. So, it CAN be used effectively on wheels. But my guess is that the concentrations in those cleaners is not that strong and the directions generally say to let it sit for 30 seconds. I used it on some heavily oxidized wheels and only left it on for 2 minutes. Putting soft aluminum in strong acid for hours at a time, I think you can probably expect to have nothing left afterwards!
