Do not use ORANGE BLAST by Greased Lightning on your wheels! WARNING: Don't use Greased Lightning "Orange Blast All Wheel Cleaner" on your wheels!
I bought and used it to clean my chrome wheels of my c5 vert. Unfortunately, it completely discolored and etched my drilled and slotted Zinc Plated Rotors. There is no warning on the label and the company told me to take a hike. Not even an appology. I called them to tell them about the problem and to have them change their labels to warn others that it could hurt their expensive aftermarket rotors but they didn't care and didn't want to hear about it. The woman that I talked with when I called their customer service number didn't even want to hear what I had to say.
I just want to warn you, my brothers and sisters, to stay away from this product and the company that makes it. A&M Cleaning Products doesn't care about their customers.
GREASED LIGHTNING "ORANGE BLAST" ALL WHEEL CLEANER IS GARBAGE! Don't Damage your vehicle by using it. If you have some, return it to the store for a refund.

There are a lot of wheel cleaners that etch the zinc rotors. I think even Armorall Wheel Cleaner will do the same thing.
I don't ubderstand why people use acidic wheel cleaners in the first place. If you wash regularly, there is no need for it. Soap and water do just as well.

I agree, that's crazy to trust some $10 cleaner on those expensive rims. I use a rag to wipe my Z06 rims clean then some wax to bling them up
