Acid Alloy Wheel Cleaner
Professional Strength
Product Overview
Acid Alloy Wheel Cleaner is a professional-strength, acid-based wheel cleaner formulated to remove heavy brake dust, road grime, and mineral contamination from alloy wheels. Containing hydrochloric acid, this powerful formula is designed to break down stubborn buildup quickly and effectively, restoring alloy wheels to a clean, bright finish with minimal effort.
