Growing tired of MINI breaking    Registered Member #187 Joined: Fri May 12 2006, 11:00PMPosts: 450 | Hey does anybody else find the fumes from most wheel cleaning stuff like really noxious. I'm guessing they are like harmful right? Ive actually taken to spraying at distance then running away for like 10 mins before I come back to sock scrub it all off. New Banner coming soon! | ||

 Registered Member #140 Joined: Mon Mar 13 2006, 12:00AMLocation: Southampton Posts: 4708 | Errr I see a few issues with that : 1) The fumes are seriously bad for your lungs.... like rotting them away. 2) Leaving it for too long especially if the wheels are warm can cause bad staining to the wheels and discs. 3) Very bad for your skin too! Bit like washing your hands with acid! Read the label... i'm sure it says its Harmfal and irritant. MINI Project Loon : MINIProject.co.uk | ||
