Wheel Cleaning Fluid with Indicator — shows you when it's worked
Brake dust is not ordinary dirt. It consists of heated particles of cast iron and metals that embed themselves in the wheel's lacquer and begin to corrode from within. Regular shampoo won't remove them — you need a preparation that will dissolve them chemically.
This fluid does so without acid, making it safe for all types of wheels: lacquered, polished, chrome, and steel. You apply it clear. After 3–5 minutes, it turns dark purple exactly where it has dissolved metallic particles — when the purple stops appearing, the wheel is clean and can be rinsed.
Why it's worth it
- Action indicator: changes from clear to dark purple where it neutralises brake dust — immediately shows missed spots
- Acid-free: safe for lacquered, polished, and chrome wheels
- Dissolves, doesn't scrub: removes brake dust, rubber residues, oil, and road grime without friction that leaves micro-scratches
- Not just for wheels: use the same bottle to clean heavily soiled sills, wheel arches, and other bodywork elements
How to use
- Wash the wheel with water and wait for it to cool down — the preparation is applied to a cold and dry wheel.
- Spray evenly over the entire surface, including the inner edge of the rim.
- Wait 3–5 minutes — during this time, the preparation darkens to purple where it has neutralised dirt.
- If necessary, use a wheel brush or sponge — especially around spokes and nuts.
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of pressurised water.
What not to do
- Do not apply to hot wheels — wait for them to cool down after driving.
- Do not allow the preparation to dry on the cleaned surface.
- Before first use, check the wheel manufacturer's recommendations.

Exact colour reproduction is an art, not an exact science.
We make every effort to show the colours of our materials accurately. However, several technical and environmental factors can affect how a shade appears:
Screen settings.
Every phone, tablet and monitor displays colour differently depending on its technology, brightness, contrast and colour temperature. For example, OLED screens often show colours more vividly than LCD screens.
Lighting and surroundings.
A colour may look different under natural and artificial light, and at different light intensities. A shade can appear lighter in daylight than under indoor lighting.
Material texture.
The EVA material used for our mats has a distinctive texture and relief. This can create optical effects that make the colour look different depending on the viewing angle.
Every mat is made with close attention to detail and quality. If you are unsure which shade to choose, contact us and we will be happy to help.
