Will Hot Rims wheel cleaner remove durable synthetic polymer sealants, such as #21, NXT Tech Wax, Zaino, etc.?
The intent of my question is as follows. My car generates, and deposits on the rims, an immense quantity of brake dust. I keep a polymer sealant on the rims to ease the removal of this brake dust, which I do regularly every week. Often, I will do a quick wash at the local touchfree wash, which generally does an excellent job of removing the week's light coating of dust from the paint. The rims are another matter. At best, the touchfree wash removes around half the dust, leaving the rest a splotchy mess, which I then remove with a mix of car wash soap and water I keep in a spray bottle for such things.
What I would like to do is spritz the wheels with Hot Rims just before entering the touchfree wash. The product would dwell for 15-30 seconds, but I estimate most of the brake dust would be removed, greatly reducing the post-wash final cleanup. But I am reluctant to do this if it will strip the sealant from the rims.
