ReactShine Wheel Cleaner

Jescar is primarily known for professional polishing compounds and this ReactShine represents their entry into the wheel cleaner/iron remover space. The 20-40% ammonium mercaptoacetate concentration is extraordinary - by far the highest in the database and likely among the highest commercially available. This makes it suitable for professional use on heavily contaminated wheels but potentially overkill for regular maintenance. The skin sensitization warning is notable - repeated exposure can cause allergic reactions. The UN 1760 transport classification (Corrosive Liquid Class 8) is unique in the wheel cleaner database and reflects the high active concentration. Marketing claims 'non-corrosive' but SDS says H290 corrosive to metals - the claim refers to wheel finishes, not metals generally. Avoid prolonged contact with bare aluminum or other reactive metals.

Key Differentiators

• •HIGHEST thioglycolate concentration in database (20-40%)
• •4-10x stronger than typical iron-reactive wheel cleaners
• •Professional-grade formulation from polishing compound specialist
• •Regulated for transport as UN 1760 Corrosive Liquid Class 8
• •Skin sensitizer warning - can cause allergic reactions
• •Metal corrosive - avoid prolonged contact with aluminum
• •Uses ammonium salt form (vs sodium thioglycolate in most products)
• •Benzaldehyde fragrance masks sulfur odor

Potential Concerns

• ⚠May be too strong for regular maintenance washing
• ⚠Skin sensitizer - wear gloves, avoid repeated exposure
• ⚠Corrosive to metals - do not leave on bare aluminum
• ⚠Strong sulfur odor even with benzaldehyde masking
• ⚠Harmful to aquatic life - collect runoff where possible
