Best Value
$0.74/oz
A thioglycolate-based iron-reactive wheel cleaner with gel consistency designed for comprehensive brake dust and ferrous deposit removal on all wheel finishes.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
7.5
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
2 (anionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses ammonium mercaptoacetate at 20-25% concentration as the primary iron chelator, providing strong ferrous deposit removal capabilities while maintaining a neutral pH of 7.5 for surface safety. The gel formulation enhances surface contact time and cling, allowing the thioglycolate chemistry to work more effectively on vertical surfaces compared to traditional liquid iron cleaners.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration ammonium mercaptoacetate (20-25%) delivers potent iron removal while maintaining neutral pH for finish safety
- •Reformulated to eliminate the typical harsh sulfur odor of thioglycolate cleaners with a banana-scented fragrance system
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Very low ingredient transparency with only 4 disclosed components limits ability to assess full formulation safety and compatibility
- ⚠High concentration thioglycolate may still produce some odor despite scenting, and requires proper ventilation during use
