Default NXT carwash, damage wheels?

I just got new wheels and wanted to check and make sure that the NXT carwash stuff I use will not damage the wheels if any gets on there. I am not actually going to clean the wheels with it, i bought some blue magic metal/aluminum polish for that. Also, any suggestions on how and what to use to clean the wheels would be appreciated. Thanks

Doubt the carwash will damage the wheels, but be careful using any type of wheel cleaner, seen and heard horror stories of the acid eating the painted wheels.

You should be okay with NXT carwash.

You will need to wash the wheels with the car wash before using the metal polish. Metal polish is not made to clean off vast amounts of dirt and brake dust.

I assume your wheels are NOT paint and NOT clear coated, as you only use the Blue Magic on uncoated polished metals.........

Using a carwash soap won't harm your wheels. Car wash soaps are really mild because they are designed not to remove wax. Also, when cleaning or washing your wheels, make sure they are not hot.
