Default wheel cleaner vs. black denim?

before i went ahead and F'd up supremely i was wondering how many people use spray on wheel cleaner on dynas with black denim paint and if its safe.....i cleaned some K&N oil that dripped from the filter off the motor with brake cleaner and i know thats fine but it oversprayed onto the black painted pipes and F'd up the paint on em... just dont wanna make the same mistake with wheel cleaner and the flat black paint...

wheel cleaner is the worse product ever invented... it ranks up there with Purple crap from Castrol.... Super clean.....

those products are guarneteed to F!ck everythin up.

Simple green is the best all around cleaner there is.

I agree, Simple Green is the best way to go.

Castrol super clean is great for concrete. Don't let that stuff get anywhere near aluminum, instant corrosion.
