A dilutable alkaline tire cleaner formulated to remove embedded road grime and prepare tire surfaces for dressing applications.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
9.0
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
3 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium triphosphate as the primary alkaline builder at pH 9, creating conditions that break down oily road films and embedded contaminants. The anionic and nonionic surfactant blend provides detergency for lifting loosened soils, while the alkaline chemistry brightens tire sidewalls and raised lettering.
Key Differentiators
- •Higher sodium triphosphate concentration (2-7%) than typical tire cleaners for enhanced degreasing
- •Biodegradable formulation with simple 6-ingredient composition
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Danger signal word indicates respiratory and skin hazards requiring protective equipment
- ⚠Alkaline pH may be harsh on sensitive wheel finishes if overspray occurs
