Dirtblaster Lance and Wheels

Was cleaning the car this weekend with the Karcher there was some stubborn dirt on the front alloys that didn't come off when I used some alloy wheel cleaner and the Vario lance I was wondering if I used the Dirtblaster lance it would come off but I didn't want to try it, I've head that it strips paint so what do you guys think is it safe to use on the Alloys?

Thanks

Use Bilberry wheel cleaner instead and then your normal pressure washer, will remove 95% of the gunk easily and safely.

100% agree. Bilberry is fantastic at cleaning wheels and will not damage the paint. You could try claying the wheels also.

I only use the dirtblaster lance, its never lifted any paint off and is excellent at shifting dirt, however I am very careful not to go to close to the paint and continually move the lance.
