Expert Analysis

Uses a concentrated phosphoric acid solution (10-30%) at pH 1 to aggressively dissolve brake dust and metal oxides through chemical etching. The formulation relies purely on acid strength rather than surfactants, designed for spray-on, hose-off convenience on acid-resistant wheel finishes.

Key Differentiators

  • High phosphoric acid concentration (10-30%) for aggressive cleaning power
  • Chrome-specific formulation designed for acid-resistant finishes

Potential Concerns

  • Extremely low pH (1) requires careful handling and PPE usage
  • Limited ingredient disclosure shows only hazardous components from SDS data
