An acidic iron remover and fallout cleaner that doubles as a wheel and trim cleaner with corrosion inhibition.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

3.0

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

3 (anionic, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses an acidic pH 3 formulation to dissolve iron particles and general fallout while incorporating corrosion inhibitors to protect metal surfaces during cleaning. The dual anionic and nonionic surfactant system provides cleaning versatility across wheels, trim, and paint surfaces, with additives specifically designed to combat acid rain effects.

Key Differentiators

  • Multi-surface formula works on paint, wheels, and trim in a single product
  • Includes corrosion inhibitors for metal surface protection during acidic cleaning
  • Specifically formulated to address acid rain damage alongside iron contamination

Potential Concerns

  • Acidic pH 3 formulation requires careful handling and may not be suitable for sensitive surfaces
  • Limited ingredient transparency makes it difficult to assess compatibility with specific wheel finishes
