Advanced All Wheel Cleaner

Uses sodium mercaptoacetate at 15-30% concentration to chelate iron particles from brake dust, causing a visual red color change during the reaction. The alkaline pH of 8.1 is balanced with anionic and amphoteric surfactants to maintain compatibility with sensitive wheel finishes while providing effective cleaning power.

Key Differentiators

• •High concentration thioglycolate formula (15-30% sodium mercaptoacetate) for strong iron removal
• •Full ingredient disclosure with excellent transparency rating
• •Formulated to be safe on unlacquered wheels unlike most iron-reactive cleaners

Potential Concerns

• ⚠pH of 8.1 contradicts 'pH neutral' marketing claims - truly neutral pH would be around 7.0
• ⚠Strong thioglycolate concentration may cause sulfur odor and requires careful dwell time management
• ⚠Marketing warns against use on unlacquered wheels despite claiming universal compatibility
