Soft99 Strong Acid Dissolver Kit for Wheel Iron Deposit

The kit is designed for wheel surfaces including bare alloy, steel, and painted wheels. Avoid prolonged contact with rubber tyres, plastic valve stems, and decorative chrome finishes that may be sensitive to strong acid. Always test a small area first if you are unsure of the wheel's finish or coating.

Work on a cool wheel out of direct sunlight. Apply the product evenly across the wheel surface using the supplied applicator or a chemical-resistant brush. Allow a short dwell time - typically 1 to 3 minutes - while the formula reacts with iron deposits. Agitate with a soft wheel brush, then rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of water. Follow immediately with a pH-neutral wash to neutralise the surface.

Dwell time is typically 1 to 3 minutes depending on the level of contamination. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface. If it begins to dry or the ambient temperature is high, mist the surface lightly with water to keep it active and prevent etching, then rinse promptly.

Yes, the formula is effective on painted and lacquered wheels, but because this is a strong acid product, dwell time must be monitored carefully. Rinse thoroughly as soon as agitation is complete. Extended contact on painted surfaces can cause dulling or etching, particularly on older or compromised lacquer finishes.

Yes. After rinsing off the acid dissolver, wash the wheel with a pH-neutral shampoo or dedicated wheel cleaner to fully neutralise any residual acidity. This step is important before applying any sealant, ceramic coating, or wax to the wheel surface, as acid residue will compromise adhesion and durability.

Not immediately after. Once you have rinsed and neutralised the surface with a pH-neutral wash and the wheel is fully dry, the surface is in an excellent state for protection. The decon removes contamination that would otherwise prevent a sealant or ceramic from bonding properly, making this a recommended first step before any wheel coating application.

pH-neutral iron removers (the type that bleed purple on contact) dissolve loose and moderately embedded iron particles through a chelation reaction. The Strong Acid Dissolver uses acid chemistry to tackle heavily compacted and deeply embedded iron deposits that neutral formulas can't fully shift - particularly useful on neglected wheels or those with years of built-up brake dust.

Use nitrile gloves and eye protection at all times. Work in a ventilated area and avoid inhaling vapours. Keep the product away from painted body panels, glass, and rubber trim. If any product contacts skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
