Expert Analysis
The product relies on a surfactant-based approach using alcohols ethoxylated sulfates as the primary cleaning agent, avoiding acidic chemistry for broader material compatibility. The concentrated format allows users to adjust cleaning strength through dilution ratios, with stronger 1:2 ratios for heavy brake dust and gentler 1:10 ratios for maintenance cleaning.
Key Differentiators
- •Wide dilution range (1:2 to 1:10) allows single product to handle both heavy decontamination and maintenance cleaning
- •Non-acidic surfactant formulation designed for compatibility with alloy wheels and sensitive plastics
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Carries 'Danger' signal word despite non-acidic formulation, indicating significant hazard potential
- ⚠Explicitly not suitable for chrome or polished wheels, limiting versatility compared to some wheel cleaners
