A ready-to-use thioglycolate wheel cleaner with 10-30% sodium thioglycolate designed for universal compatibility across steel, alloy, painted, chrome, and specialty rim finishes.
Key Chemistry
pH
5–5.3
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
1 (amphoteric, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium thioglycolate as the primary active ingredient at 10-30% concentration, providing chemical breakdown of brake dust and iron contamination through reduction reactions. The mildly acidic pH of 5-5.3 enhances cleaning effectiveness while remaining gentle enough for sensitive finishes, supported by amphoteric and nonionic surfactants for improved wetting and soil suspension.
Key Differentiators
- •Universal compatibility across all rim types including matte and polished finishes
- •High thioglycolate concentration (10-30%) for enhanced iron removal without aggressive pH levels
