My Corvette(s):
1998 Light Carmine Red Metallic Convertible
Default Cleaning magnesium rims

I came across this post by member Rudy's Stingray in another thread and thought I'd post the info here in the Care and Detailing Forum.

Anyone else have experience with this product?

I haven't used Weiman's, but it sure sounds like a good product. Thanks for pointing it out for us, Jane Ann.
