Specification

Everything published for this product. Anything not listed here is not published — ask and we will confirm it for the unit you are buying.

What it is

Cleans brake dust and road film off wheels, and puts the black back into tyre walls.

Where it goes

Wheels, rims and tyre sidewalls

When you need it

Wheels grey with brake dust, tyres gone brown and dull

How to choose

Wheel cleaner and tyre dressing do opposite jobs — one strips, one coats. Wheel cleaner — Strips brake dust and road film off the rim. Acid-free types are the safe default for alloys. Brake dust repellent — Applied to a clean wheel so the next week's dust does not bond to it. Tyre gel — Wiped on with an applicator. The most control and the longest lasting finish. Tyre foam or aerosol — Sprayed on and left. Quickest, and the usual choice at volume. Tyre cleaner — Strips the brown bloom off a neglected sidewall before any dressing will hold.

Where it is the wrong choice

Keep dressing off the tread. It belongs on the sidewall only — on the tread it reduces grip, and any that flings onto the paint has to come off again.
