A dilutable acidic wheel cleaner featuring 10-19% polyphosphoric acid for heavy brake dust removal and water spot treatment on paint and glass.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
3.5
Active Mechanism
acidic dissolution
Surfactants
3 (anionic, nonionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses polyphosphoric acid at 10-19% concentration combined with anionic and nonionic surfactants to dissolve mineral deposits and brake dust through controlled acidic action. The formulation allows flexible dilution from 1:1 to 10:1 depending on contamination level. This dual-purpose chemistry handles both wheel cleaning and water spot removal across multiple surfaces.
Key Differentiators
- •High polyphosphoric acid concentration (10-19%) provides stronger cleaning power than typical acidic wheel cleaners
- •Versatile formula works as both wheel cleaner and water spot remover for paint and glass
Potential Concerns
- ⚠pH of 3.5 requires careful dilution and surface compatibility testing before use
- ⚠Not suitable for acid-sensitive wheels or coatings without proper dilution
