Default Mothers powermetal safe on OEM wheels?

I want to buy the powerball mini or cone and use the powermetal:

http://www.mothers.com/02_products/05148.html

to polish my OEM wheels (G35 19"). I have some baked on brake dust and discoloration from the previous owner and wanted to know if this would take care of it.

Thanks for your help.

have you tried clay bar? That will help remove the break dust you're referring to.

Wah & clean the wheels & then clay bar, & then if this works try the wheel wax to keep the problem in check.
