Really? Where'd you hear that? It works great on break dust. Doesn't appear to remove the wax or clear coating from my BBS's or stockers. I know a ton of others that swear by it. So any information you have on the abrasiveness of them I would really like to read.

I work closely with P&G and basically, Magic Erasers are super fine sandpaper. If you've used it on a white wall (not a tire, a real wall), you'll see it smoothes out the texture of the wall. You'll also notice that when you rub a white wall after wetting the eraser, you'll get a creamy white drip (insert joke here). That's the paint off the wall.

Not sure if it's abrasive enough to scratch rims visually. I would be cautious about the intensity of use. That said, I may clean my winter rims with a Magic Eraser tomorrow!

Mr. Clean is about 1500 grit. Use it sparingly, but finish with a 2000 grit paper block just to be safe. Will eliminate microscopic places where rust forms.

dad used to be a project manager for P&G's Norwich NY plant. anyway, thats totally unrelated. my project would be to buy a house with a garage to park the TT in. A nobel mod. Although, not one of the cheapest mods

Scott: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean the wheels. Seriously all you need is water and the eraser! I still can't believe how clean it got my stockers.
PS. How the hell are you?!?

Yep. The main thing to remember after using any abrasive is to put a good seal on it after. Waxing after cleaning is an excellent idea to do just that...

Finally install my water/meth injection. Get my timing belt done so I can get the Unitronics stage 2 chip and not worry. Depending on how our depression goes I am ordering Stasis brakes and get my wheel in from the UK.
