A neutral pH thioglycolate-based wheel cleaner that uses sodium thioglycolate as its primary active ingredient for iron decontamination with color-changing indicators. Aenso Isern features an iron-reactive color-change indicator that turns purple on contact with ferrous brake dust, providing visual confirmation of where contamination is heaviest.

Expert Analysis
The product relies on sodium thioglycolate at 10-30% concentration to chelate iron particles, turning them purple for visual confirmation of contamination removal. The neutral pH formulation (6.5-7.5) aims to provide effective iron removal while remaining safe for sensitive wheel finishes and protective coatings.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration sodium thioglycolate (10-30%) in a simple two-ingredient formula
- •Neutral pH approach uncommon in iron-reactive cleaners, which typically run acidic
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Absence of surfactants may limit cleaning performance on greasy brake dust and road grime
- ⚠Minimal ingredient disclosure with only 2 components listed raises questions about complete formulation transparency
