Heavy-Duty Wheel Cleaner

Uses sodium thioglycolate at 3-5% concentration to break down brake dust and metallic contaminants through chemical reaction rather than harsh acids or high alkalinity. The near-neutral pH of 6.75 minimizes risk of damage to sensitive wheel finishes while maintaining cleaning effectiveness through the thioglycolate chemistry.

Key Differentiators

• •Iron-reactive color-changing formula
• •Xanthan gum gel for vertical surface cling
• •Zinc salts to mask characteristic thioglycolate sulfur odor
• •pH-neutral approach safe for all wheel finishes
• •3-5% thioglycolate concentration - mid-range for category

Potential Concerns

• ⚠Near-neutral pH may require longer dwell times or multiple applications on heavy brake dust buildup
• ⚠Thioglycolate-based cleaners can discolor certain aftermarket wheel coatings if left on too long
