Infinity Wax

Incinerate Wheel Cleaner

A highly concentrated alkaline wheel cleaner with sodium hydroxide designed for contactless cleaning and heavy brake dust removal on professional and enthusiast vehicles. Infinity Wax Incinerate Wheel Cleaner contains chelating agents that bind dissolved minerals, helping prevent water spots and mineral deposits during rinsing. The formulation is also verified biodegradable based on SDS ecological data.

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
