Other Acid Wheel Cleaner Concentrate is an acid-based, liquid concentrate developed for effective cleaning of aluminium wheels and aluminium components on both cars and lorries. The product is specifically formulated to dissolve heavy soiling, brake dust, and oxidation that pH-neutral wheel cleaners often fail to address.
The active ingredient, hydrochloric acid (HCl), enables the product to rapidly break down iron oxides and limescale deposits, whilst also helping to restore the natural shine of aluminium. The product is biodegradable to over 90%, making it suitable for use in environments with strict requirements for emissions management. See more wheel cleaner products in our range.
