The method

How to use it

1
Cool & rinse
Work on cool wheels; rinse off loose dirt first.
2
Spray on
Cover the face and barrel and let it dwell to break down the bonded dust.
3
Agitate & rinse
Work tight areas with a brush, then rinse thoroughly.
The detail

Built to perform.

Brake dust and iron particles bond to wheel surfaces and resist conventional cleaning. Wheel Cleaner uses an iron reactant system that chemically breaks down ferrous contamination on contact - you can watch it working as the product turns red-purple against the deposits. pH neutral. Safe on all wheel finishes including coated, waxed, and sealed surfaces. 

From real owners

Highly effective pH neutral formula removes brake dust and grime with minimal scrubbing. Customers praised the purple color-change reaction that shows contamination being dissolved. Safe on coated, diamond-cut, and black alloys. "Cleans thoroughly without affecting the coating." A few found it adequate but most rated it excellent.

KW Continue To Impress

Meant to try the Krieger+Wolff range for a while and this was my first purchase. Very impressed so far. Cleans quickly, reacts well and doesn't feel overly aggressive despite the strong performance.

Great Balance Between Safety And Strength

Strong enough to tackle stubborn contamination but still pH neutral and safe on wheel finishes. That balance is difficult to get right but KW seem to have nailed it.

Excellent For Ceramic Coated Wheels

I needed something safe for coated wheels and this has been brilliant. Cleans thoroughly without affecting the coating and rinses away cleanly every time.

Makes The Whole Car Look Better

Clean wheels transform the overall look of a car and this product gets them spotless quickly. Removed grime around the spokes and wheel nuts far better than expected.

Very Effective Around Wheel Barrels

The barrels are usually the hardest area to clean properly but this loosened brake dust really well. Needed far less agitation than my previous cleaner.

Cleans Deeply Without Damaging

The best thing about this cleaner is how confident you feel using it regularly. Strong enough to remove heavy grime but gentle enough that you're not worrying about damaging expensive wheels over time.

A Proper Premium Wheel Cleaner

Everything about this product feels high end. The bottle, spray pattern and formula all feel refined. More importantly, the results are excellent. Wheels came up spotless with very little effort.

Excellent On Black Alloys

Black wheels show every mark and streak so I'm careful with what I use. This cleaned evenly and rinsed away without leaving residue behind. Finish looked clean and rich afterwards.

Powerful Without Feeling Harsh

What impressed me most is that it cleans extremely well without smelling overly aggressive or feeling dangerous on the finish. I use it on diamond cut alloys and the pH neutral formula gives real peace of mind. Strong cleaning power without risking the wheels.

Excellent Results With Minimal Effort

Spray on, leave it briefly and rinse. That's basically it. I gave the wheels a quick pass with a soft brush but honestly most of the dirt had already loosened by itself. Very effective cleaner and definitely feels premium.

The Purple Reaction Is Surprisingly Useful

I originally thought the colour change would just be for visual effect but it's genuinely useful for seeing where contamination is concentrated. Very smart feature.

Works Brilliantly On Neglected Wheels

Tested this on a neglected set of winter wheels and was seriously impressed. The colour change reaction was intense and the amount of grime removed after rinsing was unbelievable.

One Of The Best Wheel Cleaners I've Used

I've gone through a lot of detailing brands over the years and this sits comfortably near the top. Effective cleaning, safe formula and genuinely effortless application.

Professional Level Product

This feels like the sort of wheel cleaner used by professional detailers rather than a generic retail product. Strong cleaning action, good dwell time and safe on wheel finishes. Krieger+Wolff have done a great job here.

Very Impressed With The Cleaning Power

The amount of contamination this removed from the barrels and around the wheel nuts was impressive. Sprayed evenly, dwelled well and rinsed cleanly afterwards. Excellent formula.

Does Exactly What It Claims

So many wheel cleaners overpromise but this genuinely performs exactly as advertised. Brake dust loosens quickly, the purple reaction is clear to see and the final finish is excellent.

The Colour Change Is Brilliant

Watching the cleaner turn purple as it reacts with contamination makes it obvious where it's working hardest. It's not just for show either, the cleaning performance backs it up. Wheels looked dramatically better after one application.

Finally A Wheel Cleaner That Actually Performs

I've used plenty of wheel cleaners that claim to dissolve brake dust but still need loads of scrubbing afterwards. This one genuinely works. Sprayed it on, left it to dwell for a couple of minutes and the colour change started almost immediately. Most of the grime rinsed away with very little agitation. Wheels came up spotless.

No Need For Endless Scrubbing

This is the first wheel cleaner I've used where I genuinely felt the product doing most of the work for me. It softens contamination properly rather than just wetting the surface.

Built For Results Not Marketing

I appreciate products that simply work properly without overcomplicating things. Spray on, dwell, rinse off. Krieger+Wolff have clearly focused on real world performance rather than gimmicks.

Cuts Through Brake Dust Easily

My front wheels get covered in brake dust within days and this made light work of it. The purple reaction shows it actively working and loosening contamination before you even touch the wheel. Very satisfying product to use.

Safe Yet Extremely Effective

I'm always cautious with wheel cleaners because some can be really harsh on finishes over time. Krieger+Wolff seem to have balanced this perfectly. Cleans deeply without feeling overly acidic or aggressive.

Makes Wheel Cleaning Much Faster

This has cut my wheel cleaning time down massively. Brake dust loosens quickly and rinses away far easier than before. No endless scrubbing or going back over missed areas repeatedly.

Perfect For Weekly Maintenance Washes

I wash my car every weekend and wanted something safe enough for regular use but still powerful enough to tackle stubborn grime. This fits perfectly into that routine. Leaves the wheels looking fresh every time.
