Expert Analysis

Uses glycolic acid as the primary active ingredient to achieve aggressive cleaning at pH 1.5, specifically targeting heavy oxidation and brake dust that neutral pH formulas cannot remove. The acidic approach provides strong dissolving power for mineral deposits and metallic contamination on chrome surfaces.

Key Differentiators

  • Chrome-specific formulation with glycolic acid for targeted cleaning without chrome hazing
  • Full ingredient disclosure with excellent transparency rating despite being a budget brand product

Potential Concerns

  • Extremely low pH (1.5) requires careful handling and proper PPE due to 'Danger' signal word
  • Limited to chrome wheels only - not suitable for painted, anodized, or PVD-coated wheels
