$0.44/oz
A high-pH alkaline wheel cleaner utilizing sodium metasilicate for heavy-duty cleaning of OEM factory clear coated and chrome wheels.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
2 (anionic, amphoteric)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium metasilicate as the primary cleaning agent in a highly alkaline formulation (pH 15) to dissolve brake dust, road grime, and organic contaminants without relying on acidic chemistry. The combination of anionic and amphoteric surfactants provides cleaning power across different soil types while maintaining stability in the extreme alkaline environment.
Key Differentiators
- •pH 15 alkaline formulation uses sodium metasilicate as primary cleaning agent rather than typical surfactant-based systems
- •Dual surfactant system combining anionic and amphoteric chemistries for enhanced cleaning across different soil types
Potential Concerns
- ⚠pH 15 formulation requires careful handling and may damage sensitive wheel finishes or painted surfaces
- ⚠Danger signal word indicates corrosive properties that could cause skin and eye burns
