FAQs
Is this product safe for my car's paintwork?
Yes, the pH-neutral and acid-free formula is designed to be safe for car wheels. However, avoid overspray onto painted body panels and rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
Can I use this on chrome or polished aluminum wheels?
Yes, the acid-free and pH-neutral formula is generally safe for chrome and polished aluminum. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate finishes.
How often should I use this wheel cleaner?
You can use it as needed, typically every time you wash your car, or whenever your wheels appear dirty.
Does it contain harsh acids?
No, this product is specifically formulated to be acid-free, making it safer for your wheels compared to many other cleaners.
What is the 'Colour Active' feature?
The 'Colour Active' technology causes the cleaner to change colour as it reacts with and breaks down brake dust and road grime, providing a visual cue that it is working.
How much product should I use?
Spray generously to ensure the entire wheel surface is covered. The amount needed will vary depending on the size of the wheel and the level of dirt.
Do I need to use a brush with this product?
While the cleaner works on its own, using a soft wheel brush or mitt for gentle agitation can help remove more stubborn dirt and improve results.
Troubleshooting
No colour change observed.
The wheels may not be significantly dirty, or the brake dust may not be reacting with the formula. Ensure the wheel surface is wet before applying for optimal performance. Try agitating with a brush.
Wheels remain dirty after cleaning.
The dirt or brake dust may be too heavily baked on. Reapply the cleaner, allow a slightly longer dwell time, and use a wheel brush for agitation before rinsing thoroughly.
Product leaves streaks or spots.
Ensure wheels are rinsed completely and dried immediately after cleaning with a clean microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
