SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus 230400 – Non-Acid, Color-Changing Rim Cleaner, 750ml

Elevate your wheel cleaning routine

SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus 230400 delivers a powerful, color-changing cleaning experience designed to tackle brake dust, grime, and road residue on a wide range of wheels. The formula is acid-free and pH-balanced, making it gentler on factory finishes while delivering deep cleaning action. For best results, use on cool, dry wheels and test on anodized finishes or sensitive brake components before full application.

Watch the transformation in real time: the cleaner changes color on contact with ferrous metals, shifting to deep red or purple as brake dust and grime dissolve. This visual cue helps you monitor coverage and focus attention on stubborn spots without guesswork.
