Wheely Clean or Down & Dirty?

We have two excellent wheel cleaning options in our range, both with very different uses depending on what kind of wheels you have, and what kind of dirt is on them. In short, Wheely Clean for heavy brake dust, and Down & Dirty for everything else. 

 

Wheely Clean is a pH neutral dedicated wheel cleaner specifically designed to remove heavy brake dust. The formula reacts with metal particles in brake dust, turning bright purple as it dissolves the brake dust into a water soluble complex. This action makes the brake dust easy to pressure rinse off of the wheel. It is acid-free, and safe for all common wheel types, including clear-coated, painted, chromed, and polished finishes.

• Neutral (pH of 7.0), acid free formula - for strong yet safe cleaning.
• Safe for all common wheel types - including clear-coated, painted, chromed, and polished finishes.
• Iron reactive ingredients - safely and quickly dissolve heavy brake dust.
• Purpose built - to suit high-performance European, or any cars with heavy brake dust issues.

The more brake dust on the wheel, the better the Wheely Clean will work! Due to this reactive mechanism, Wheely Clean is not suitable for carbon ceramic brakes, or unsealed/porous surfaces that are in poor condition.

Down & Dirty is an alkaline all-purpose cleaner and degreaser for heavy-duty cleaning, primarily for safe deep cleaning of tyre sidewalls. It is effective at breaking down red dirt, mud, grease, old tyre dressings, and leeched anti ozonant from the rubber. Its primary uses include:

• Higher pH of 10.0 - For extra cleaning power.
• Tyre cleaning - Removes old tyre dressings and the brown appearance caused by anti-ozonant (brown leeching from new tyre rubber) build-up. 
• Red Dirt removal - Easily dissolves red dirt from exterior surfaces.

Down & Dirty is an excellent wheel cleaner, for vehicles with less brake dust and more general road or off-road grime. This product is non-caustic and biodegradable. The higher pH of this one gives excellent cleaning power, but is not recommended for use on unsealed or bad condition surfaces or driveways. Down & Dirty needs to be rinsed off thoroughly with water after cleaning.

Down & Dirty is also the recommended product for cleaning wheels on vehicles with carbon ceramic brake discs.
