A thioglycolate-based wheel cleaner with near-neutral pH formulated for safe use across all wheel finishes including painted, chromed, and anodized surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH
6.5–7.0
Active Mechanism
Iron-reactive thioglycolate chemistry with surfactant boost and gel delivery
Surfactants
3
Expert Analysis
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
