Question Safe to Claybar Powdercoated Wheels?

Hey guys my powdercoated wheels are starting to show some dust and dirt that can't be removed by just washing them with soap and water, so I thought I might want to try and clay them. Will this ruin the finish by removing the powdercoat? Thanks.

go and buy turtle wax liquid claybar. it works pretty good and its alot easier to do wheels with.

comes with a sponge.

works wonders.

Thanks for the help guys. This worked great. I was in a car show on Friday the 23rd and people were amazed how clean the wheels were.
