    You bet. Just don’t spray any on your brake discs.

    I’ve used it for years, very happy with the results. Just don’t spray the wheel directly, wipe it on with a rag, let sit for a few days, and wipe off before you drive it.

    I think the best way to get your Fuchs look great is to take them off the car one at a time. Wash and clean with gentle cleaners, soap and warm water, and then dry. Put wheel/tire in your lap and warm them with a hair dryer if it's a cooler day, the idea is to warm up the wheel, you could place in in the sunshine, to get Vaseline to melt into the forged metal, petals and all. Once the wheels are clean and warm, apply vaseline sparsely and rub into the wheel. When you are finished your wheels will look great! Remember to rub/polish the wheels until all the vaseline has been absorbed by the wheel.
