A high-alkaline degreasing wheel cleaner formulated with sodium metasilicate for heavy-duty brake dust and grease removal across all wheel types.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
11.5
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
The formula leverages sodium metasilicate as the primary alkaline builder to achieve a high pH of 11.5, enabling effective dissolution of oily brake dust and grease bonds. Nonionic surfactants provide cleaning action while maintaining compatibility across diverse wheel materials from chrome to painted surfaces.
Key Differentiators
- •High alkaline pH (11.5) specifically targets oily brake dust and silicone-based tire dressing removal
- •Complete ingredient transparency with only 5 disclosed components in ready-to-use formula
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High alkaline pH and 'Danger' signal word require careful handling and protective equipment
- ⚠Strong degreasing action may require thorough rinsing to prevent residue on sensitive wheel finishes
