I use the Maguire's Wheel Brightener and can attest that you need to wash your hands right away if any gets on them. If not, the exposed skin will start to burn.

Not sure it will remove wheel weight glue, however. Just skin. It does a nice job of removing brake dust too.

I'm surprised they would use any concentration of HF acid in a cleaner. We use it at work, extremely nasty chemical, also used to etch glass, so I'm surprised it doesn't harm the finish.
