Thank you Wheels are from the 2nd gen ISX50. I got the wheels and tires for 400. Front's are 225 and the rears are 255. Definately a real nice OEM rim that does not cost a fortune to get.

ScratchX contains petrolEum products, so do most waxes. Hell the plastic itself is a petrolEum product.

Exactly!!!! If it doesn't work then no harm done. Believe me I wouldn't put something on my SC if I didn't think it was ok to do.

Care for Plastic Lenses :" alcohol, ammonia, or petroleum-based products can dry out plastic, leading to cracking and discoloration over time."

Just because something is petroleum based doesn't mean you can you can put baby oil on it and expect it to be ok in time.

In the care and maintenance of scuba gear it clearly states not to use or store around petroleum based products because it will attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.
and we all know rubber and plastic is petroleum based.
