FAQs

What is Autobrite Purple Rain 3.0 used for?

It is an intensive fallout remover designed to break down and remove iron contaminants, such as brake dust and industrial fallout, from your vehicle's exterior surfaces like paintwork and wheels.

How do I know if it's working?

The product has a color-changing indicator. It starts as pink and turns purple or red as it reacts with iron contaminants, visually showing you where it's actively cleaning.

Is it safe for all car surfaces?

It is safe for most exterior surfaces including paint, glass, clear coated alloy wheels, stainless steel, plastic, and rubber. However, it is not suitable for bare aluminum.

Can I use it on my polished aluminum wheels?

No, Purple Rain 3.0 is not recommended for bare or polished aluminum surfaces as it can cause damage or discoloration.

How long should I leave it on the surface?

Allow it to dwell for a few minutes until you see the color change. Crucially, do not let the product dry on the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water.

What happens if it dries on the paint?

If the product dries on the surface, it may cause staining. Always ensure adequate rinsing and avoid use in direct sunlight or extreme heat.

Can I use this product in cold weather?

It's best to avoid using the product in extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Apply when surfaces are cool and the ambient temperature is moderate for optimal performance and to prevent drying issues.

How is it different from a regular wheel cleaner?

Purple Rain 3.0 is specifically formulated to chemically break down iron-based contaminants. While it cleans wheels, its primary function is fallout removal, which is often more stubborn than typical road grime.

Troubleshooting

Product does not change color

This may indicate a lack of iron contaminants or that the product is not being applied to a suitable surface. Ensure you are applying to a surface known to accumulate fallout, and try again. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Product leaves marks or stains

This usually occurs if the product was allowed to dry on the surface. Ensure thorough rinsing and avoid use in direct sunlight or high temperatures. If staining persists, a gentle clay bar or polish may be required.

Poor cleaning performance

Ensure the product is applied generously and allowed adequate dwell time. For very stubborn contamination, a second application might be necessary, or the use of a soft detailing brush during dwell time.

Not recommended for wheels

The product is safe for clear coated alloy wheels, but not for bare aluminum. Double-check the wheel finish. If unsure, test on a small, hidden area first.
