Who will win?
I have 2 coats of 845 on the faces of my wheels right now and am planning on pulling them off to clean the barrels real good with the Sonax. Just wondering if it will clean off the 845 from the faces.

I would say yes, Sonax is acid based isnt it?

LOL, I guess I could have read the description before I posted!

It says PH neutral, it may be safe for 845, I guess try it and let us know.

Im sure it will put a dent in the LSP but it wont remove to completely. After all if the chemicals in it can clean brake dust it will surely degrade LSPs.

845 is pretty tough, but it wouldn't hurt to put another coat on after cleaning.

Actually I'm hoping the Sonax will remove the 845, my wheels look good but I think there is a little baked on dust I couldn't get off with APC+ and I'm hoping the Sonax will get it off. I'm definitely putting on another coat of 845 when I'm done.
