Wheel Cleaner and Iron Remover

How To: Deep Clean Wheels & Remove Iron Contamination

Brake dust isn't just dirt, it’s tiny particles of iron that can "bake" into your wheels and paint. Bar’s Bugs Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover is a powerful, fast-acting formula that dissolves these particles on contact. The built-in colour-change technology turns from red to purple, showing you exactly when the iron has been captured and is ready to be washed away.

Why use Wheel Cleaner + Iron Remover?

Dissolves Brake Dust: Effectively breaks down stubborn iron contamination that standard soaps can't dissolve.
Visual Indicator: The formula turns purple once the reaction is complete, taking the guesswork out of cleaning.
Surface Safe: Specifically designed to be safe on most wheels and painted surfaces.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. Prep & Rinse
Work on one wheel at a time to ensure the product doesn't dry. Start by rinsing the wheel thoroughly with a pressure washer.

2. Spray Liberally
Spray the Wheel Cleaner liberally over the entire wheel surface.

3. The Colour Change
Wait up to 5 minutes. You will see the product begin to change color to a deep purple as it reacts with the iron particles. Important: Do not let the cleaner dry on the wheel at any stage.

4. Agitate (If Required)
For very dirty or neglected wheels, use a wheel brush to agitate the product and help break loose heavy build-up.

5. Final Pressure Rinse
Rinse the wheel thoroughly with a pressure washer to reveal a clean, decontaminated finish.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Pressure is Best: This formula works most effectively when rinsed off with a high-pressure washer.
Wheel Compatibility: While safe for most wheels, this product is not suitable for raw or polished aluminum, as it may cause staining or hazing.
Test First: If you are unsure of your wheel finish, always test a small, inconspicuous area for compatibility before full application.
Cool Wheels Only: Always ensure your wheels and brakes are cool to the touch before spraying to prevent the product from drying too quickly.
