Full Description

Duals Axis acid-free wheel cleaner

A must-have product for anyone who wants to keep their wheels looking clean and new. This powerful cleaning solution contains a blend of strong cleaning and foaming agents that work together to dissolve brake dust and road grime on the surface of your wheels. Its chemical compounds bind to the dirt, making it easy to rinse away.

One of the key advantages of Duals Axis acid-free wheel cleaner is its acid-free formula, which is safe for use with all clear coated wheel finishes. However, it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area with bare metal or polished alloys to ensure compatibility.

Additionally, this product has incredible cleaning power and foams on agitation, making it easy to apply and use. It quickly and easily removes brake dust and dirt, leaving your wheels looking like new.

For those with light to medium soiled wheels, Duals Axis acid-free wheel cleaner offers contactless cleaning, which means you can simply spray it on and rinse it off without the need for scrubbing.

Finally, with a dilution ratio of up to 1:20, Duals Axis acid-free wheel cleaner is a great value for money product that will last for many washes

Expert Notes

Axis is Duel Autocare's acid free alloy wheel cleaner, built around an alkaline formula that binds to and dissolves baked on brake dust and road grime without the acids that can stain or etch a clear coated finish. It dilutes up to 20 to 1, so a light mix suits a regular wash and a stronger mix handles heavier, baked on dust, with a 2 to 3 minute dwell before rinsing. Finished with an orange scent, it is suitable for clear coated and painted alloy wheels, while bare or polished metal should be tested first. It pairs naturally with Cleanse and Profile to complete a full wheel and tyre routine, and is available in 500ml, 1L and 5L sizes.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Clear coated alloy wheels
  • Painted alloy wheels
  • Diamond cut finishes
  • Baked on brake dust
  • Wheel barrels and spokes
  • Regular wheel maintenance washes

Caution: Test bare or polished metal wheels in an inconspicuous area first, and never let the product dry on the wheel before rinsing.

The Brand

Duel Autocare

Duel Autocare is a British car care brand founded in 2020 by Lee and Sam, based in Denton, Greater Manchester. Duel says its car care products are designed, developed and made in Britain, and it has been a member of Made in Britain since it started. It takes its time over new products: Flex Polymer Sealant was developed over more than 12 months and Element Hybrid Wax over 14 months. Auto Express has recognised several of them, including Flex, Assault, Profile, Axis and Logic.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Duel Autocare online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include Flex Polymer Spray Sealant, Assault pre-wash snow foam and Axis Acid Free Wheel Cleaner.

Duel wash, wheel and protection products

Pre-wash and wash. Assault is an alkaline snow foam that lifts traffic film without stripping wax or sealant: 50ml with 450ml of water in a foam lance covers a car, left for three to five minutes. Engage is the pH neutral foam for maintenance washes. The Snow Lux coloured snow foams come in Banana Blizzard yellow, Strawberry Storm red, Berry Blanket blue and Apple Alpine green. Nitty Gritty is a non-caustic pre-wash and degreaser for engine bays, door shuts and wheel arches, and Bahama Blue is a concentrated pH neutral shampoo, 15ml to a bucket. For contamination there is BlackJack for tar and glue, and Toxin, a gel iron fallout remover that turns purple as it works.

Wheels and tyres. Axis is an acid-free, alkaline wheel cleaner for clear-coated, painted and diamond cut wheels. Dilute it up to 20:1 for a light clean, about 10:1 for general brake dust and about 5:1 for heavy dirt, and leave it two to three minutes. Cleanse strips old dressing from the tyre wall, then Profile dresses tyres and trim without sling: one layer gives a satin finish, more layers add gloss.

Protection and finishing. Flex is a polymer sealant you spray through a foam lance onto the wet car and rinse off, protecting paint and glass for six to eight weeks, with 20 applications per bottle. Oxide does the same job by hand as a quick detailer and spray sealant. Element Hybrid Wax blends prime yellow T1 carnauba with synthetics for three to four months of protection, and one 100ml tin covers ten or more cars. Nitro is a bilberry scented quick detailer for every exterior surface, and Panel Prep removes oils and polish residue before a wax, sealant or coating.

Duel interior care, air fresheners and microfibre

Interior and glass. Logic is a concentrated interior cleaner for plastics, trim, vinyl, fabric and upholstery, diluted up to 10:1, so a 500ml bottle makes up to five litres. Test fabrics for colour fastness first, and do not use it regularly on leather. Satin cleans and dresses the dashboard, door cards and console in one wipe, leaving an anti-static, low-sheen finish and a lime scent; keep it off the steering wheel, pedals and gear knob. Optical is a high-alcohol glass cleaner that flashes off fast for a streak-free finish: spray it onto the cloth, not the glass. For fabric there is the Pet Hair Remover, a rubber block that pulls hair out of carpets and seats, and the Finger Scrub Mitt, two to a pack.

Air fresheners. Duel's spray scents are Cherry B (Bakewell tart), Fizz Pop (sweet shop), Havana (sugar cane and lime), New Car, Passion (pornstar martini), Pineapple Express, Pour Femme (floral), Pour Homme and Zest (lemon and lime). Kit 2 puts Zest, Fizz Pop and Pour Femme in a mesh bag for the door pocket.

Microfibre, brushes and kit. The Triple Twisted Loop Drying Towel is 1400gsm and 40 x 60cm. The Utility Cloth, in orange or green, has a short pile side to spread or remove product and a plush side to buff. Also the Coral Fleece Cloth, Buff Twin Pack, General Purpose 10 Pack, Glass Cloth (35 x 35cm), Wash Mitt and Laundry microfibre wash, made without conditioners. Brushes come as The Soft One, a 17cm and 23cm pair for gloss black wheels and piano black trim, and The Stiff One for tougher dirt. Kit includes the Snow Foam Lance, a spare 1 litre lance bottle and lid and the 947ml dilution spray bottle with a chemical resistant trigger and marks from 1:1 to 10:1.
