A highly concentrated alkaline wheel cleaner with sodium hydroxide designed for contactless cleaning and heavy brake dust removal on professional and enthusiast vehicles.

Active Mechanism

alkaline saponification

Surfactants

3 (nonionic, anionic, amphoteric)

Expert Analysis

This formulation uses sodium hydroxide as the primary alkaline builder at 1-2.5% to saponify grease and break down brake dust, supported by a multi-surfactant system combining nonionic, anionic, and amphoteric cleaners for broad soil removal. The high pH (>12) creates aggressive cleaning conditions that can dissolve heavy contamination without requiring mechanical agitation in many cases.

Key Differentiators

  • Exceptional dilution flexibility from neat application to 1:25 ratios while maintaining contactless cleaning capability
  • Full ingredient transparency with all 10 components disclosed, unusual for concentrated alkaline cleaners

Potential Concerns

  • Extremely high pH (>12) requires careful handling and is incompatible with bare metals, chrome, and anodized aluminum
  • Sodium hydroxide content makes this unsuitable for frequent use on painted or delicate wheel finishes without proper dilution
