3D Wheel Kleen Concentrated Cleaner 128oz
3D Wheel Kleen is a concentrated, high-foaming wheel and tire cleaner for loosening brake dust, road grime, grease and oily residue. Its clinging foam helps keep cleaner in contact with compatible wheel surfaces during a controlled application.
Key benefits
- Foaming cleaner for wheels, tires and approved caliper surfaces.
- Concentrated formula for measured dilution.
- Useful for cleaning before tire dressing or wheel protection.
Choosing and using this product
Use on compatible factory-finished wheels. Inspect and test the actual finish first, particularly where coatings are damaged or the wheel has been refinished. Keep tire brushes separate from softer wheel-face tools.
Application details
Dilute 1 part product with 4 parts water. Apply only to cool wheels, allow 30–60 seconds of dwell, agitate with suitable wheel and tire brushes, then rinse thoroughly before drying occurs.
How to use
- Confirm that the cleaner is suitable for your exact wheel finish and inspect for damaged clear coat, corrosion or other vulnerable areas. Let wheels and brakes cool fully before starting, then test a small hidden area.
- Prepare the specified dilution when using a concentrate. Rinse away loose grit and work on one wheel at a time so the product can be removed before it dries.
- Apply evenly to the intended wheel or tire surfaces while controlling overspray. Follow the product-specific contact time below; heat and airflow can shorten the time before the surface begins to dry.
- Agitate as needed with a soft wheel brush and a separate tire brush. Choose bristles that suit the finish, reach into spoke edges carefully, and avoid transferring tire grime to the wheel face.
- Rinse thoroughly, including lug recesses, spoke backs and the lower sidewall. Do not allow cleaner to dry on the wheel or tire. If residue remains, repeat a controlled treatment instead of extending the dwell indefinitely.
- Dry and inspect the wheel. Apply tire dressing only after the sidewalls are clean and dry, keeping dressing off the tread and braking components.
Aftercare and maintenance
Maintain wheels with regular cleaning before brake dust and road grime become heavily embedded. Use dedicated wheel towels and brushes, then rinse and dry them after the job. Reapply a suitable wheel protectant or tire dressing when needed. On coated wheels, follow the coating maker’s maintenance advice and use stronger cleaning only when the contamination requires it.
Frequently asked questions
Does a wheel cleaner replace an iron remover?
A wheel cleaner removes general dirt and oily residue. Embedded ferrous fallout may need a dedicated iron remover. Choose the process for the contamination rather than repeatedly applying stronger degreaser.
Can it be used on hot wheels?
Allow the wheel and brake assembly to cool. A hot surface can dry the product too quickly and makes it harder to control the application and rinse.
