Checkmate - not all of your facts are correct, however my "fact" about silicone was obviously wrong.

Viper - Are you the one who uses Simple Green to clean your wheels? Yeah, that's harmful. All I know is that my wheels are shinier and in better condition than yours. Your statement that pledge "doesn't react" with anything may be true, but it still does not mean it will not harm your clearcoat. Get some 3M rubbing compound and rub in into black paint and then wipe off. See what happens. It doesn't "react" to anything either.

Well, you see...we still have a division between the professional detailers and enthuisiasts (i.e. AlBoston) and everyone else. I guess I was confused between silicone and petroleum. Still, petroleum is just as greasy and shiny. It will build up. If you guys are so confident about Pledge, why don't you spray your hood with it? The clear coat on the hood and on the wheels is essentially the same.

My tone has come off rather rash, I don't intend any rudeness to anyone, just stating my opinion. You guys can use whatever you'd like on your car because it's yours and not mine.
