## Overview

SONAX The Beast Wheel Cleaner is a 1-liter, acid-free, pH-neutral formula designed to rapidly dissolve brake dust, iron contamination, and road grime. Its unique color-changing reaction visibly signals cleaning progress, making it ideal for steel, alloy, painted, chrome, and matte wheels, including those with TPMS sensors. Fast-acting within 2-4 minutes, it offers a safe, streak-free finish with a simple spray-and-rinse process favored by car enthusiasts and professional detailers alike.

## Description

SONAX The Beast Wheel Cleaner combines fast, visible cleaning action with an acid-free formula for wheels that collect heavy brake dust, road film and everyday grime. Designed for drivers and detailers who want to see the cleaning process, The Beast changes color as it reacts with iron-containing brake-dust contamination. The red reaction provides a clear visual cue that the product is working before the wheel is rinsed. The pH-balanced wheel cleaner helps loosen stubborn contamination without relying on acidic chemistry. It is designed for use on a broad range of wheel surfaces, including steel and light-alloy rims as well as painted, chrome, metal-plated, polished and matte finishes when used according to directions. It is also suitable for wheel systems equipped with TPMS sensors. Using The Beast is straightforward. Work on cool, dry wheels and spray the cleaner evenly over the surface. Allow the formula to work for approximately 2 to 4 minutes while the color-change reaction develops. For heavily soiled areas, agitate with a suitable wheel brush if necessary. Rinse the wheel thoroughly with a strong stream of water or pressure rinse, making sure the cleaner does not dry on the finish. This non acid wheel cleaner is useful for regular maintenance and for deeper cleaning when ordinary car-wash soap leaves brake dust behind. The 1 liter bottle gives enthusiasts and detailers a generous amount of ready-to-use product for repeated wheel-care sessions. Pair the cleaner with appropriate brushes and microfiber tools as needed for intricate spokes, lug areas and wheel barrels, and always follow the wheel manufacturer's care recommendations for specialty finishes. The pH neutral wheel cleaner is a practical brake dust wheel cleaner for drivers who want visible activation without acidic chemistry. Its focused wheel-care formula can also serve as a brake dust remover wheel cleaner during deeper detailing sessions on compatible finishes. As a dedicated brake dust...

Review: Wow, just wow. I’d pay $30 all day for this cleaner - I’m in awe at how well this stuff works. Hadn’t washed my 4Runner rims all summer and did some heavy off roading so there was lots of brake dust, dirt, and grime on them. Followed the directions and the wheels came out looking brand new. It does smell a bit funky but that’s how you know it’s a good product. Cleaners that smell like something you want to eat aren’t focusing on the right qualities. I am now a die hard Sonax fan after seeing the results of this wheel cleaner and their alcantara upholstery cleaner. Just amazing results from all their products. Highly recommend.
Review: Tire cleaner - My tires needed a lot of attention. I sprayed on the wheel cleaner allowed it to work on the grime that had built up and used a tire scrubber to clean the brake residue and other dirt that had built up for months. I did this a couple of times and my tires looked great. I recommend this product with the understanding that you have to use a little elbow grease if you want really clean tires and rims. I now clean my tires more frequently to avoid the dirt and grime build up.

## Features

- BRAKE DUST CLEANER FOR RIMS: The Beast attacks stubborn brake dust, road grime and iron-containing contamination, helping restore a cleaner-looking wheel surface with less scrubbing during routine wheel care.
- COLOR-CHANGING WHEEL CLEANER: SONAX The Beast turns red as it reacts with iron-containing brake-dust contamination, giving you a visible signal that the cleaner is working across dirty wheel surfaces.
- FASTEST CLEANING FOR HEAVY CONTAMINATION: Spray onto cool, dry wheels and allow 2 to 4 minutes of working time. The formula helps break down stubborn buildup so routine wheel cleaning requires less effort.
- SAFE ACROSS MANY WHEEL TYPES: Use as directed on steel and light-alloy rims plus painted, chrome, metal-plated, polished and matte finishes. Suitable around wheel systems equipped with TPMS sensors.
- SIMPLE SPRAY-AND-RINSE PROCESS: Apply evenly, let the color change develop, agitate stubborn areas if needed and rinse completely with a strong stream of water. Never allow the product to dry on the surface.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible
*by A***B on August 30, 2024*

For the past 6 years, I’ve been struggling to get the rims of my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk clean. I absolutely LOATHE cleaning them, because those huge Brembos cause a ton of brake dust. I’ve tried rim cleaners from The Chemical Guys and The Car Guys and they never got the rims fully clean. I always would have to do a second round of cleaning (I’m also a bit lazy about cleaning the rims because I hate it so much) and even then, they wouldn’t be totally clean. But this Sonax cleanser is AMAZING. I’m so glad I decided to try it, even though it’s a bit pricey. First of all, it sprays on easier than the others that I’ve tried. It’s not as thick, and the spray bottle sprays a wider spray, so it covers the rim better. After spraying it on, I take a detail brush and go into all the bends of the rim, all over the calipers, let the product sit for 5 minutes, and rinse it off. The rims come out almost perfect with just some minor touching up if they’re really dirty. And the best part is, they come out shiny, not dull, like with the other rim cleaners that I’ve tried. Happy customer!!!
