Description

Reacts with the iron from brake dust stuck to the clear coat. Spray it on clear, leave it to work and rinse.

Where there's iron, it turns purple: the darker it gets, the more dirt has come off. Watch the dirt come off before you rinse.

500 ml · ready to use, no dilution. Formulated and packed by Plurifil, in Sintra.

Where to use

Chrome, polished, painted and gloss wheels.

Always apply to a cool wheel and rinse thoroughly. On special wheels or ones with a delicate finish, test first on a small area.

How to use
  1. Spray it on clear. On a cool wheel, cover the whole face and the inner barrel.
  2. It turns purple where there's iron. The formula reacts with the brake dust stuck to the clear coat.
  3. Rinse and it all comes off. Pressure-rinse and the iron goes with the water, with no dry scrubbing and no risk to the clear coat.
Why does it turn purple?

The purple is the signature of the reaction with the iron in brake dust. The darker it gets, the more iron there was to dissolve.

It's an indicator, not paint on the wheel: it disappears when you rinse.

The proof, live

The reaction, in three steps.

Spray on clear, the formula reacts with the brake-dust iron and turns purple, then rinse. You see the dirt coming off, so you never clean blind.

1Spray on clear

Spray on clear

Cold wheel, cover the whole face and the inner barrel. It goes on colourless, no reaction yet.

2Turns purple where there is iron

Turns purple where there is iron

Where it meets brake-dust iron stuck to the lacquer, the formula reacts and turns purple. The darker the purple, the more iron there was.

3Rinse and it all comes off

Rinse and it all comes off

A pressure rinse and the iron goes with it. A clean wheel, with no cold scrubbing and no risk to the lacquer.

Why you'll love it

The wheel turns purple where there's iron

Spray it on clear and the formula turns purple only where it touches iron from brake dust stuck to the clear coat.

Removes iron with no dry brushing

Dissolves brake dust and ferrous contaminants. The iron comes off with the water jet, with no risk to the wheel's clear coat.

Ready to use, cool wheel

No dilution. Spray, let the reaction appear, rinse. A 500 ml trigger spray, straight onto a set of four wheels.

Who it is for

For anyone who washes the car at the weekend but never gets round to the wheels - shampoo is not enough, and dry scrubbing does not remove the iron.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

How many wheels does the 500 ml bottle cover?
It depends on their condition. On wheels with embedded iron, spray more and repeat wherever you still see purple; for weekly maintenance, it lasts much longer.
Can I use it on painted and polished wheels?
Yes. It's safe for most wheels - chrome, polished, painted and gloss. Always apply to a cool wheel and rinse thoroughly. On special wheels or ones with a delicate finish, test first on a small area.
How long does the wheel stay clean?
It removes the iron already stuck to the clear coat. Every time you brake, brake dust builds up again, so the wheel gets dirty again with use. It's part of the routine, alongside washing the bodywork.
Why does it turn purple and not yellow or red?
The purple is the signature of the reaction with the iron in brake dust. The darker it gets, the more iron there was to dissolve. It's an indicator, not paint on the wheel: it disappears when you rinse.
What if I don't like the result?
You have 30 days to return it. If it's not what you expected, write to us and we'll arrange collection and a refund.
