{"product_id":"elements-xpert-wheel-clean-non-acidic-wheel-cleaner","title":"Wheel Clean Non-Acidic Wheel Cleaner","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrake dust is not dirt. It is hot iron and pad material fired onto the wheel and left to bond there. Acidic cleaners shift it quickly but they also attack lacquer, polished lips and anodised finishes, which is why plenty of alloys end up looking dull long before they look dirty. Elements Xpert Wheel Clean is an acid-free wheel cleaner, supplied ready to use, that lifts brake dust and road film off lacquered alloys, painted wheels and plastic trims without that risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid free, so it is safe on lacquered alloy, painted and plastic wheel trims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied ready to use — no mixing before a job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDilutes 1:1 with water for light cleaning, so the 5L goes twice as far on maintenance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDwells for 3–5 minutes to soften bonded brake dust before a brush touches the wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild enough for regular use on standard alloy finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5L refills a 500ml trigger bottle around ten times over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery wash on a car with soft pads, and as the first step of any wheels-off detail. Spray cool wheels only — a hot wheel dries the product before it can work and risks staining the finish.
