Strip brake dust and tire bloom fast, built for tunnels and detail bays.
Wheels are the dirtiest square foot on any vehicle. Hot ferrous brake dust bonds to clearcoat. Antiozonant browning locks into tire pores. Acid bites fast but brings safety risks, inconsistent results in hard water, and finish damage if someone misses a rinse. Mild soaps won’t cut it, so labor piles up: extra brush passes, longer dwell, and too many rewashes that jam throughput and burn chemical budgets.
WheelForce answers with a non-acid, alkaline surfactant system that unhooks iron-laden grime, oily residue, and brown tire bloom without torquing sensitive finishes. Chelation keeps minerals in check so performance holds in hard water. Controlled foam clings in tunnels yet rinses clean, leaving less film for dryer stages. Corrosion inhibitors and wetting agents help protect most OEM painted and clear-coated wheels. Use it through tunnel wheel applicators or in manual detail bays - same chemistry, matched to your process.
Made in Pampa, Texas at our 30,000 sq ft plant, WheelForce is built with nearly 40 years of formulation and batch QC. We private-label it in 1 gal jugs, 5 gal pails, and 55 gal drums with your spec sheets and branding. Keep your margins intact with factory-direct chemistry that runs hard, ships reliably, and wears your label.
- Non-acid alkaline system tackles brake dust and tire browning fast.
- Controlled foam profile clings in tunnels, rinses clean with low spotting.
- Chelated surfactants stay active in hard water and recycled reclaim.
- Inhibitors help protect most OEM painted and clear-coated wheel finishes.
- Dialable for tunnels or hand detail without reformulating or new SKUs.
Tunnel application: Pre-dilute WheelForce 1:20-1:40 for wheel applicators, adjusting to soil load and water hardness. Apply to cool wheels, ensure 30-60 seconds dwell, and do not allow to dry. Follow with high-pressure rinse. Fine-tune metering to minimize foam carryover and spotting.
Manual/detail bay: For tires with heavy browning, dilute 1:4-1:8. For wheel faces and barrels, dilute 1:10-1:20 depending on contamination and finish. Apply to cool surfaces below 120°F, allow 1-2 minutes dwell, agitate with a nylon brush if needed, then rinse thoroughly with high pressure.
General: Always test in an inconspicuous area, especially on bare or polished aluminum, anodized finishes, or sensitive aftermarket coatings. Avoid use on hot surfaces or in direct sun. Do not let product dry on the surface.
- Cuts wheel rewash rates by 25-40% versus general-purpose detergents.
- Reduces manual brush passes from 4-5 to 1-2 per wheel.
- Shortens average dwell time by up to 30 seconds at equal cleanliness.
- Lowers chemical cost per car by 10-20% with proper tunnel metering.
- Removes visible tire browning in a single application on most vehicles.
Distributors stack margin on commodity wheel cleaners and leave you doing the formulating with dilution and dwell. We ship factory-direct from Pampa, TX, so you buy the chemistry, not the layers. Our bench brings nearly four decades of surfactant, builder, and inhibitor know-how to a single SKU you can meter precisely. You get consistent batches, SDS/TDS support, and LTL-friendly drums and pails without the middleman tax - plus your brand on the label.
