Bilt Hamber Auto-Wheel V2 Wheel Cleaner (5L)

Bilt Hamber Auto-Wheel

A pH-neutral wheel cleaner that effectively removes brake dust and metallic contaminants without risking damage to wheel surfaces. It is safe for steel wheels, alloy rims and polished delicate surfaces. Thanks to its gentle formulation it is an ideal choice for both regular maintenance and heavily soiled wheels.

Braking generates high temperatures and releases thousands of tiny metal particles from brake pads and discs. These hot particles literally bake into the wheel surface, creating a stubborn layer of brake dust. Common cleaners often rely on aggressive acids or strong alkaline substances which, while removing dirt, can permanently damage paint, the clearcoat or cause dulling of polished metal parts when used repeatedly.

This product works on a completely different principle that is maximally gentle to wheel finishes. The active ingredients react with iron oxides on the surface of metallic contaminants and convert them into water-soluble compounds. This reduces the embedded particles and allows them to detach from the wheel surface, enabling easy rinsing with water. The reaction is accompanied by a distinct colour change of the liquid to a dark red shade, indicating successful dissolution of the contamination.

The safety and high effectiveness of this product have been repeatedly confirmed in independent tests by reputable motoring media, including recognition in the British magazine Auto Express. The acid- and hydroxide-free formulation ensures there is no weakening of painted layers or corrosion of exposed metal parts. Use is very simple and in most cases does not require mechanical scrubbing with a brush.
