Pro Tips From Ultimate Finish
"This is not a product for weekly washing, it's for when wheels genuinely need intensive cleaning. We use it on restoration projects or when taking on a neglected vehicle where brake dust has properly baked on. Always test on a small area first as acid cleaners can damage certain finishes if left too long."
How To Use
1. Ensure wheels are cool to touch before application.
2. Test on an inconspicuous area first to verify compatibility with wheel finish.
3. Spray generously onto wheel surface, covering all contaminated areas.
4. Allow to dwell for 1-2 minutes (do not allow to dry).
5. Agitate with appropriate wheel brush, paying attention to brake caliper areas and inner barrels.
6. Rinse thoroughly with strong water stream immediately.
Important Notes
⚠️ Always test on an inconspicuous area first, acid cleaners can damage certain wheel finishes.
