Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel 1L

Auto-Wheel is a non-acid, non-alkaline alloy wheel cleaner, and in most cases, no agitation is required.

In most cases, steel and alloy wheels are either lacquered or painted. These coatings protect the metallic surface from corrosion and provide attractive finishes to automotive road wheels.

As vehicles brake, the dust generated from pads, discs, and drums is at elevated temperatures. Amongst this hot cloud are thousands of hot metallic particles. These bombard the wheel’s finish and effectively embed themselves there. Once lodged, these particles are extremely difficult to remove.

Acid-based alloy wheel cleaners attack the metal particles effectively, reducing their size and allowing the particles and clinging dirt to escape. Caustic alloy cleaners are less effective than acid ones on brake dust but can attack organic coatings such as lacquers and paints on short exposure. They attack any organic matter accumulated around the embedded particles and produce a seemingly clean surface; however, with continued use, they will dull and diminish the coating, leaving a wheel surface that needs refinishing.

FEATURES

• Auto-Wheel is available in 1 litre and 5 litre bottles.

HOW TO USE

• Wait for the colour changing reaction, normally 3-5 minutes depending on the level of contamination.
• Now simply wash the wheel down with a hose or jetwash.
