A thioglycolate-based wheel cleaner featuring 15-40% sodium thioglycolate at pH 5.1 for iron contamination removal.

Key Chemistry

pH

5.1

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

1 (amphoteric)

Expert Analysis

Uses one of the highest sodium thioglycolate concentrations on the market as the primary active ingredient at 15-40% concentration to chemically break down iron particles through reduction reactions. The mildly acidic pH of 5.1 provides cleaning power while remaining safer than strong acid-based cleaners, with amphoteric surfactants helping to lift loosened contaminants from wheel surfaces.

Key Differentiators

  • •High concentration sodium thioglycolate (15-40%) for effective iron dissolution
  • •Mildly acidic pH 5.1 balances cleaning power with surface safety
