BRAKE DUST, DISSOLVED ON CONTACT.

AWC's acidic chemistry reacts with the ferrous particles and brake dust bonded to your wheels, converting them into a water-soluble compound that rinses away — visible as a purple bleed.

FAQS

What's the difference between AWC and the Neutral Wheel Cleaner (NWC)?

+

AWC is an acidic, pro-strength formula for heavy brake-dust build-up. NWC is pH-neutral and gentler, made for delicate, anodized or custom-painted finishes used in regular maintenance.

Is AWC safe on all wheels?

+

It is designed for alloy, chrome and painted wheels. Because it is acidic, always test on an inconspicuous spot first and avoid leaving it to dry. It is not recommended for raw, polished or delicate custom finishes — use NWC for those.

Why does it turn purple?

+

The colour change is the active ingredient reacting with bonded iron particles and dissolving them. It is the product working, not a stain.

Can I dilute it?

+

Yes. Dilute roughly 1:5 with water for routine maintenance, or use it neat on heavily contaminated wheels.

How long does shipping take?

+

Orders ship from our overseas facility and arrive within 7–10 business days.

Do I have to pay customs or import duties?

+

Depending on your country's customs rules, import duties or taxes may apply on delivery and are the recipient's responsibility. Full details are on our Shipping Policy page.
