Description

Part of the Genius Quan Product Line, Quan Brown is a concentrated non-acid wheel and tire cleaner. It's a translucent, chocolate-brown liquid that dissolves brake dust, road grime and other tough contaminants on contact. In most cases you won't need to scrub.

Why you'll like it

  • Acid-free formula for most wheel types, including factory-painted, clear-coated and chrome rims.
  • Spray, wait, rinse. Let it dwell for 30–60 seconds and rinse it off. No scrubbing in most cases.
  • More than wheels. It cleans tires, brightens whitewalls and cleans engine bays.
  • Concentrated. Mix 1 part product with 4 parts water. A 32 oz bottle makes 160 oz of spray-ready cleaner, and a gallon makes 5 gallons.
  • Sizes for every job. 32 oz, 1 gallon, 5 gallon and a 55-gallon drum for shops.

How to use

  1. Mix 1 part Quan Brown with 4 parts water.
  2. Spray it directly onto cool rims and tires.
  3. Let it sit for 30–60 seconds to break down dirt and grime. For heavy buildup, work it in with a soft wheel brush.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Before you use it

  • Don't use it on uncoated polished aluminum or anodized wheels.
  • Don't apply it to hot wheels or surfaces, and don't let it dry.
  • It's strongly alkaline (pH 13–14). Wear gloves and eye protection, keep it off your skin and out of your eyes, and use it in a well-ventilated area.
  • Don't mix it with other chemicals or cleaners.
  • For ceramic-coated wheels, wash with Quan Purple, a ceramic shampoo made for coated vehicles.

Quan products are formulated to professional detailing standards and sold exclusively through Auto Care Genius. Every formula is tested by working detailers in Central Florida before it reaches the shelf. No fillers, no watered-down chemistry — just professional-grade cleaning power at prices that make sense for mobile detailers and enthusiast garages alike.

  • ✓ Job-specific formulas for paint, wheels, tires and interiors
  • ✓ Most formulas are concentrated — dilute to your needs
  • ✓ SDS sheets available for every product
  • ✓ Tested by ACG’s in-house detailing team

How to Use Quan Products

Check the Label

Follow the directions on the label. RTU (ready to use) or mix to the recommended ratio for your task.

Test on a Hidden Area

First time with a new surface? Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous spot and check after 60 seconds.

Apply & Dwell

Spray or apply evenly. Give cleaners the recommended contact time — never let them dry on the surface.

Rinse or Wipe Clean

Remove thoroughly with clean water or a fresh microfiber. Buff dry for a streak-free finish.

Which Quan Product Do You Need?

Match the right Quan formula to every part of your vehicle.

Exterior Paint

Wash and protect your vehicle's painted surfaces. Quan Pink won't strip wax, and Quan Green adds wax as it washes.

Wheels & Tires

Remove brake dust and road grime. Dress tires for a clean, protected finish.

Interior

Clean glass and protect dashboards, door panels, and leather seats with a dressing that dries to the touch.

Engine Bay

Cut through grease and grime in the engine compartment safely and effectively.

Wax & Shine

Boost gloss and add a protective layer of wax in a single step. Perfect for maintenance washes and show-day prep.

Ceramic Maintenance

Extend the life of your ceramic coating with a pH-neutral shampoo designed to clean without stripping protection.

Quan Usage Tips

Pro Tip

Always Check Your Dilution

Quan concentrates are powerful — using RTU on a task that calls for 10:1 wastes product and can over-saturate surfaces. Keep a dilution chart on your trailer or detail cart.

Pro Tip

Never Let Product Dry

On hot surfaces or in direct sun, Quan products can dry before you rinse. Work panel by panel and keep the surface wet during dwell time.

Pro Tip

Use Dedicated Microfibers

Cross-contamination is the #1 cause of swirl marks. Designate separate microfibers for each Quan product type — wash, wipe, dry, and never mix them.

FAQ

Quan Product FAQ

Common questions about ACG’s exclusive Quan product line.

For coated cars, wash with Quan Purple Ceramic Shampoo, which is pH 6–7 per its safety data sheet. Quan Pink Car Soap is pH neutral per its data sheet, and its label says it cleans without stripping wax. Other Quan products are made for specific jobs, like wheels, tires and degreasing. Check the individual product label for surface compatibility.
All Quan products are manufactured in the United States. They are developed and quality-tested in the United States as well with professional detailing standards.
Most Quan products are concentrated formulas designed for professional detailers who prefer to dial in their own dilution ratios. Each concentrate comes with a recommended dilution, and some list a stronger mix for tough jobs and a lighter one for routine cleaning. This gives you more product per dollar and the flexibility to mix for the task at hand. A few products in the line are RTU where concentration isn't practical, and those are clearly labeled. When in doubt, start with the recommended dilution and adjust from there — that's the pro move.
Yes — most Quan products are available in 32oz, 1-gallon, and 5-gallon sizes.
