Wheel cleaning Redline Wheel Cleaner Turtle Wax 500ML

Turtle Wax Redline Wheel Cleaner – pH-balanced wheel cleaner with color indicator

In Sweden, wheels endure harsh conditions year-round – tar, road salt, fallout, and brake dust build up fast. The best time for a deep clean is during seasonal tire changes in spring and autumn.

Redline Wheel Cleaner is a pH-balanced, acid-neutral formula with a color indicator that shows when the product is working. The drip-free formula stays in place for extended dwell time, ensuring thorough cleaning without damaging rims, hubcaps, or bolts.

• Gentle yet powerful: Safe on sensitive surfaces.
• Color indicator: Clearly shows when dirt and brake dust are dissolving.
• Drip-free formula: Long dwell time for stubborn grime.
• Improved trigger: Enhanced spray action for better coverage and results.
• Proven performance: Demonstrated to remain active for up to 24 hours at car shows.

Note:
Use a pressure washer to reduce the need for brushing. For heavy soiling, multiple applications may be required. For complex rims, rotate the wheel half a turn and reapply.

Wheel Cleaner & Iron Remover – How to Get Clean Wheels and a Rust-Free Finish

Your wheels are exposed to the harshest conditions on the road – brake dust, road salt, asphalt, and grime. A standard car wash just isn’t enough to keep them clean and protected. That’s where two key products come into play: wheel cleaner and iron remover.

With the right tools, removing dirt, embedded particles, and iron contamination becomes easy. The result? Wheels that shine like new and a car that looks well cared for.

What’s the Difference Between a Wheel Cleaner and an Iron Remover?

Though both are used on wheels, they serve different purposes:

• Wheel cleaner is designed to remove common road grime, oil, salt, and brake dust. It’s ideal for regular cleaning and general maintenance.

• Iron remover targets embedded metal particles, such as iron fallout and burnt-on brake dust. These particles can oxidize and leave rust-like spots, known as “industrial fallout” or “rail dust.”

Put simply: wheel cleaner tackles surface dirt, while iron remover goes deeper to eliminate invisible contaminants that could damage your finish over time.

When Should You Use Each Product?

• Use wheel cleaner during routine washes – ideally once a month or more often if needed.

• Use iron remover when you notice rusty specks, stubborn brake dust, or before applying wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings.

Pro tip: In high-traffic urban areas or during winter months, using both products in combination gives the best result. Start with the wheel cleaner, then follow up with an iron remover for deep decontamination.

Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Wheels Properly

1. Rinse off loose dirt with a pressure washer or hose.

2. Spray wheel cleaner onto cool, dry wheels. Let it dwell according to the instructions.

3. Agitate using a soft brush or wash mitt if needed.

4. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Spray iron remover onto the surface. Let it work – you’ll often see a purple reaction where it dissolves iron particles.

6. Let it dwell, then rinse again.

7. Dry the wheels with a microfiber towel for a spotless finish.

Important Safety & Care Tips

• Never apply products to hot wheels or in direct sunlight – it can reduce effectiveness and cause spotting.

• Use gloves for stronger chemicals, and avoid contact with skin or eyes.

• Always wash in a place where dirty runoff can be handled properly – avoid letting it enter drains or nature.

• After cleaning, consider applying a wheel sealant or ceramic coating for added protection and easier future maintenance.
