Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long should I leave the spray on my wheels? For the best results, leave it for 3 to 5 minutes. You will see the color change to a deep red. Do not let the product dry completely on the rims, especially in direct South African sunlight.

2. Is this safe for my expensive alloy wheels? Yes. Because it is acid-free, it will not corrode or damage the clear coat or polish on your alloy, chrome, or painted rims.

3. Do I need a pressure washer to rinse this off? While a Karcher pressure washer provides the best results for rinsing, you can also use a standard garden hose. For extremely neglected wheels, a quick scrub with the Karcher Wash Brush before rinsing will help.
