Hmm, without knowing that particular product, I do have some 'Eagle One' alloy wheel cleaner, this stuff is nasty, it is designed for bare alloy, it is a metal brightner acid based etching solution, you spray it on (while trying not to breath), gently agitate and wash it off, the idea being it eats the top layer of oxidation off.
Now this stuff is for bare, untreated alloy (even un anodised, it will strip that stuff off too), if you were to get it on paint, I don't know what it would do, but I guess it would strip it eventually.
I mention this 'cause the mini wheels are painted.

Check the bottle, if it says anywhere on there 'safe for use on painted and anodised alloy wheels' sue someone, it it says not for use on painted wheels... could be bad..
