Expert Analysis
Uses tetrasodium N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamate (GLDA) as the primary active ingredient, creating a chelation-based cleaning approach that binds to brake dust and road grime without aggressive pH levels. The 5.75 pH formulation provides effective cleaning while remaining safe for delicate wheel finishes and coatings.
Key Differentiators
- •Eco-friendly formulation with biodegradable ingredients
- •GLDA chelation technology at 5-10% concentration provides thorough cleaning without harsh acids or strong alkalines
- •pH-neutral formulation safe for all wheel types including anodized, powder-coated, and ceramic-coated surfaces
- •Plant-derived surfactant (undecyl glucoside from sugar)
- •Natural citric acid instead of harsh mineral acids
