How to use
Work on cool wheels out of direct sunlight. Dilute the concentrate with water to suit the level of soiling. Spray onto the wheel, allow a brief dwell time to loosen brake dust and grime, then agitate with a wheel brush as needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, and wear gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated cleaning chemicals.

Pro Detailer Tips
Patch Test First
Before applying any new product to a full panel, test on a small hidden area first — especially on older paint, vinyl wraps, or exotic finishes.
Read the SDS Sheet
Every professional detailing product has a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Review it before first use to understand proper handling, dilution limits, and safety precautions.
Store Properly
Keep products in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can degrade chemistry and shorten shelf life.
