never tried it on rims. I still use soap and water for my rims, but i guess it would work. Not really sure.

you don't need to order too much because it's only a cap or two full for every gallon of water.

Why use a microfiber cloth, when you can use a microfiber wash mit
I'm still using terry towels for the drying part.

Yes, I did not have any problems using it on my rims, even though I had dedicated rim/tire cleaners.

Yes its great.

I personally haven't spent a dime on Zaino in years. I like the optimum that much . In fact, I bought two gallons worth

Let us know if you try them.

is the sale still going on?
