Yea the stuff is made to clean then wash off, so after you dry the part just put a little polish on it.

thanks for all the good info guys... i'll try the hot water and dishwashing soap in the bathtub while the gf is at work... she'll freak out if she knew i was using it to clean my rims... lol

FYI - Sodium hydroxide (lye) is a main ingrediant in most drain cleaners.
You can always tell the ole lady your cleaning the pipes so you don't get a clog. LOL
