Cleaning Dirty Rims

Will never be easier. Sonax Full Effect is a pH balanced and acid free wheel cleaner that is super effective and easy to use. What Sonax relies heavily on is its special chemical design that dissolves iron particles by forming a water soluble iron complex. The formula is safe on painted wheels and will not damage clear coats.

Supplies Needed:

Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
Various Brushes or Griot’s Garage Wheel Wands
Running water/hose

Directions for use:

Pre-Rinse wheels and hose off any heavy grime
Evenly spray Sonax on the wheel and wheel wells
Let the cleaner stand for 2-5 minutes or until it has turned blood red (this is normal and part of the process)
Scrub areas that are very dirty or areas with thick brake dust (be sure to use the proper gloves)
Rinse thoroughly
