i do it, dont care what you guys say.... im someone that has done it and done it for years, never ever had a probelm. but nothing like what your talking about, you dont go puting a hole bottle of the shit in the water or rubing it on with a rag. Its the main way i keep my white wheels so perfectly white.
i used a HALF a cap of kero in a 15L bucket of warm water with megs shampoo. Give her a wash, than wash again with megs shampoo and normal watrer, it really pulls all the shit off the paint and any old polish and crap thats been on there for ages, give you a fresh base to start with.... you have to use polish/sealent and a wax but dont just leave it.
i havnt got any pics on this pc that dose it justise, but i can tell you now if you do it right it works sweet. and i only use the kero when its needed not every wash and polish maybe twice a year.
