Will this wheel cleaner work with my air impact gun?

Yes, this tool is designed to work with any standard 1/2" air or electric impact wrench. It operates at normal impact speeds and doesn't require special settings or modifications to your existing equipment.

Can I use this on aluminum wheels and brake dust removal?

Absolutely. The stainless steel cleaning system is safe for both steel and aluminum wheels, effectively removing brake dust, rust, and corrosion without damaging the metal surfaces or wheel studs.
