Any experience with oven cleaner?

after the shine from the die grinder I really can't hand buff without scratching the mirror. The heat from the 15-20k rpms & Eastwood Co's mini pads causes the wheel to glass pretty quickly. I use the larger mini-pad that looks like its parent belongs on a shop bench 2 wheel machine and another mini- gizmo-pad to get into the apex and the paddle black to bare mag side. I use a liquid, almost pure hand cleaner, without any grit for a quick monthly. [ big pelican thread on it awhile ago ] But I need a real soft rag or that will scratch it. If Eagle works it saves me a trip into the garage.

I use a pure Carbuna wax with a very soft rag and hardly touch it on wax removal. It's an easy removal. Again in the garage.

The pelicanheads who posted info on the oven cleaner act are giving great info imo.

fwiw, I give the tires a thick coat of Mcguires tire treatment Before polishing so as not to stain the tire. I like the leathery look better than other tire treatment mfgs. and any scattered rouge or Mother's cleans up with an extra dab of the Mcguires.
