Technical details for the P&S Brake Off Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner:

How it compares

Unlike traditional acid-based cleaners which can etch wheels if left on too long, this P&S formula provides a massive safety margin for the user. It is significantly safer for the environment and the user's respiratory system than old-school wheel brighteners. When compared to DIY soap and water methods, it features specific iron-binding agents that break the bond between the brake dust and the wheel rim, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing that can cause micro-scratches. It sits as a professional-tier middle ground between cheap grocery store cleaners and ultra-expensive iron decontamination sprays.

How to use it

1. Ensure the wheels are cool to the touch and in a shaded area.
2. Spray a liberal amount of the cleaner directly onto the dry wheel surface.
3. Allow the product to dwell for 2-3 minutes, watching for the breakdown of grime.
4. Use a soft-bristled wheel brush to agitate the dust in crevices and lug nut holes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure water stream until all suds are gone.
