Expert Analysis
This product relies on sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate as the primary cleaning surfactant, combined with natural citrus extracts (d-limonene) for degreasing action. The gel formulation increases dwell time on vertical surfaces, allowing surfactants more contact time to emulsify brake dust and road grime without requiring aggressive mechanical action.
Key Differentiators
- •Gel consistency prevents runoff on vertical wheel surfaces for extended cleaning contact time
- •Natural citrus extract-based formula avoids harsh alkaline chemistry while maintaining cleaning effectiveness
