I really enjoy using /ONE: Wheel Shampoo in an IK FOAM Pro 2 along with a small amount in a buck. It adds great lubrication and has solid cleaning power. My preference is to layer it over a more typical wheel cleaner spray before a contact wash on the wheels. Good value at about 20ml per wash.
Expert Analysis
The product employs a 10-20% sodium laureth sulfate anionic surfactant system at pH 8 to create high-cling foam that extends contact time for brake dust emulsification. The alkaline formulation helps break down acidic brake dust while incorporated rust inhibitors protect wheel surfaces during cleaning.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration of anionic surfactants (10-20%) allows for flexible dilution ratios from 1:200 to 1:133 based on contamination level
- •Alkaline pH of 8 specifically targets acidic brake dust while remaining gentler than stronger caustic wheel cleaners
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Signal word 'Danger' indicates significant hazard classification requiring careful handling and PPE use
- ⚠Anionic surfactant concentration may cause skin and eye irritation during mixing and application
