Thanks Guys. Everything here sounds about as expected, except Steve's comment
about not using it on any wheel I want to look nice. 5 of the wheels are
alloys that I bought for one of my Alpines. It will be a while before I use
them (hence the desire to store them away), but I am going to want to refinish
and polish them. They have some marks on them already; I don't want to make it
worse.
I think I'll shop around a bit before buying this.
