What is an alkaline wheel cleaner?
It is a wheel-cleaning product with alkaline chemistry designed to break down greasy road film, oily grime and everyday contamination. This formula also targets brake dust on aluminium rims and wheel covers.

Good Stuff Alkaline Wheel Cleaner is a concentrated, high-foaming wheel degreaser developed for greasy road film, brake dust and everyday grime on aluminium rims and wheel covers. Dilute Wheel Cleaner Alkaline from 1:3 to 1:10 to match the contamination level, then use its dense foam and corrosion-inhibited formula for controlled cleaning with less aggressive scrubbing.

Oily traffic residue can build up across spokes, wheel faces and recesses.
Daily brake residue mixes with grime and becomes harder to remove over time.
Tyre residue, oily contamination and neglected dirt need more than a mild rinse.
Alkaline, acidic and iron-removing formulas target different contamination.
This concentrated alkaline wheel cleaner is designed for contamination with an oily or greasy character. It helps loosen traffic film, tyre residue, everyday grime and brake dust from aluminium rims and wheel covers while its strong foam improves coverage and working contact.
Wheel Cleaner Alkaline contains corrosion inhibitors and can be diluted from 1:3 to 1:10. Use a stronger mixture for heavier buildup and a lighter mixture for regular wheel maintenance. Apply only to a cool surface, allow approximately 1–2 minutes of contact time, agitate when required and rinse thoroughly before the product dries.
For oily contamination, everyday grime, tyre residue and regular wheel degreasing.
For demanding mineral deposits and stubborn contamination requiring acidic chemistry.
Prepare the product between 1:3 and 1:10 according to the contamination level.
Make sure the aluminium rim or wheel cover is cool and out of direct sunlight.
Apply the prepared high-foaming wheel cleaner evenly across the surface.
Allow approximately 1–2 minutes of contact time. Never let the cleaner dry.
Work stubborn grime with a suitable soft wheel brush when required.
Rinse the wheel completely and thoroughly with high-pressure water.
Important: do not use on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight, never allow the product to dry and always test first in a less visible area. Universal compatibility with polished, raw, chrome, anodised, matte, coated or other sensitive wheel finishes is not confirmed by the product information.




Alkaline wheel cleaner, acid wheel cleaner and iron remover are not interchangeable. Use alkaline chemistry for oily road film and degreasing, acidic chemistry for demanding mineral buildup, and Iron Remover for ferrous particles and metallic fallout.

It is a wheel-cleaning product with alkaline chemistry designed to break down greasy road film, oily grime and everyday contamination. This formula also targets brake dust on aluminium rims and wheel covers.
Yes. Wheel Cleaner Alkaline is intended to remove brake dust together with greasy buildup, road film and general wheel grime. Embedded metallic fallout may require a dedicated Iron Remover.
The confirmed surfaces are aluminium rims and wheel covers. Always test in a less visible area first, and do not assume universal compatibility with polished, raw, chrome, anodised, matte or other sensitive finishes.
The confirmed dilution range is 1:3 to 1:10. Use a stronger mixture for heavier contamination and a lighter mixture for regular wheel maintenance.
Allow approximately 1–2 minutes of contact time depending on the dirt level. Never allow the alkaline wheel cleaner to dry on the surface.
Choose alkaline chemistry for greasy road film, tyre residue and everyday grime. Choose an acid wheel cleaner for demanding mineral deposits and stubborn buildup when the wheel finish is confirmed compatible.
Alkaline cleaner focuses on grease, traffic film and general grime. Iron Remover chemically targets ferrous particles and metallic fallout, so the correct choice depends on the contamination.
The confirmed use is for aluminium rims and wheel covers. Use Tire & Rubber Cleaner as the dedicated product for tyre sidewalls before applying a dressing.
Choose Good Stuff Alkaline Wheel Cleaner when oily road film, brake dust and everyday wheel grime require a concentrated, high-foaming cleaning step.
