Full Description
Magic Wheel Cleaner is a powerful, viscous, acid-free rim cleaner that provides innovative performance to mildly and thoroughly clean rims and rim wells.
Its reactive component dissolves iron particles with characteristic red discolouration. Special dispersing agents gently remove stubborn dirt from surfaces. The viscous setting ensures that the sprayed-on Magic Wheel Cleaner adheres excellently to the surface. Dirt remains bound and the cleaner does not dry up, even after an extended application time.
Recommendations for use
Do not use on hot paints or surfaces or in direct sunlight. Check for suitability and compatibility prior to use. Shake Magic Wheel Cleaner briefly prior to use and spray the rim surface and rim well thoroughly. Depending on the amount of dirt, allow 2 - 5 minutes for Magic Wheel Cleaner to take effect on the rim and then rinse thoroughly using a high-pressure spray.

Expert Notes
Koch-Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner is the wheel cleaner to use when normal shampoo or a light APC is not enough for brake dust, iron fallout and stubborn road film. The viscous formula helps the product stay on the wheel face and rim barrel rather than running straight off, giving the cleaner time to work on contamination. Its reactive component dissolves iron particles with the familiar red colour change, while dispersing agents help lift stubborn dirt from the surface. It is acid-free, but it is still a strong wheel cleaner, so it should be used with proper care. Work on cool wheels, avoid direct sun, check compatibility first and rinse thoroughly after the 2 to 5 minute dwell time.

Application
- Spray Magic Wheel Cleaner thoroughly onto the wheel face.
- Spray into the rim barrel where access allows.
- Allow the cleaner to react for 2 to 5 minutes depending on dirt level.
- Watch for the red colour change as the cleaner reacts with iron particles.
- Agitate stubborn areas with a suitable wheel brush if required.
- Do not allow the product to dry.
Rinsing
- Rinse the wheel thoroughly using a pressure washer.
- Pay attention to wheel nuts, spokes and rim barrels.
- Repeat only where heavy contamination remains.
- Wash the wheel afterwards as part of the normal contact wash if required.
- Dry the wheel before applying tyre dressing or wheel protection.
Top Tip: Use Magic Wheel Cleaner when wheels need proper decontamination, not just a light maintenance clean. For already clean wheels, a shampoo wash or milder cleaner may be enough.
