An acid-free, viscous wheel cleaner from Koch-Chemie's workshop line that visibly dissolves brake dust and flash rust chemically via a red-violet colour change.

The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate, a salt of thioglycolic acid, reacts with the iron(III) compounds in brake dust and lifts them off the wheel surface as a red-violet complex. The colour change isn't a marketing gimmick but the chemical reaction itself: where you see violet, iron is being converted right then and there. With a pH of 5–6 the formula stays gentle on painted and polished alloy wheels, chrome and steel. The high viscosity of 50 mPa·s means the product clings to vertical wheel faces instead of running straight off — so you get the full dwell time on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed-violet colour change as a reaction indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e No guessing how long to wait.

That sets it apart from watery wheel cleaners where half the product would run off unused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne cleaner for your whole wheel collection.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy painted, alloy polished, chrome and steel — the pH of 5–6 is mild enough to use even on high-gloss polished forged wheels. On anodised or matte-coated wheels, test on a hidden spot first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always spray onto a cold, dry wheel — never in direct sun, never onto warm brakes after a drive. Warm surfaces let the gel dry on, and that leaves residue you then have to brush off. On heavily soiled wheels after months without cleaning, two short passes beat one long one: the active ingredient is chemically saturated after about 5 minutes. Just let it dwell twice for 3 minutes each and rinse in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. Spray. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the Magic Wheel Cleaner onto the cold, dry wheel — cover spokes, barrel, the rim edge and the wheel bolts evenly. Thanks to the syrup-like consistency the product clings vertically without you having to change how you work. Best to work bottom to top so you don't cover faces you've already wetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 to 60 seconds the colour change kicks in: first on spots with a lot of brake dust, then across the whole face. Red-violet streaks show you exactly where iron particles are being converted. After 2 to 5 minutes' dwell time the reaction is done — waiting longer gets you nothing, because the active ingredient is saturated after about 5 minutes. A common mistake is leaving the product on for 10 minutes hoping for better results. The opposite happens: the solution starts to dry on and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish by rinsing off with a strong jet of water from the pressure washer or garden hose, top to bottom. With heavy brake dust between tight spokes a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e can help spread the dissolved material — but not for scrubbing, just for touch-up. If you clean weekly to fortnightly, one pass usually does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on dosing: 500 ml lasts for about 10 full vehicle cleans. Per wheel, 40 to 50 ml is plenty. That works out to EUR 1.25 per full application — far more economical than the bottle price suggests, once you weigh it against the time spent mechanically scrubbing with less effective cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves iron particles. Not tar.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is built precisely for one job: dissolving brake dust and flash rust chemically. The reaction between ammonium mercaptoacetate and the iron(III) ions in brake dust is the mechanism — anything that isn't iron doesn't get touched. That explains the colour change as a diagnostic tool: no colour means no iron, and no effect in that case isn't a shortfall of the product but the right answer to the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary use, the Magic Wheel Cleaner also works on paint as a flash-rust remover — especially handy on vehicles parked under industrial fallout or next to railway tracks. Fine iron particles settle there on the clear coat and react with the MWC formula just like they do on the wheel. Used before polishing, it boosts the adhesion of any following wax or ceramic coating, because the paint surface is genuinely contamination-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the MWC isn't the right product: baked-on tar, bitumen spots and oily soiling don't react with thioglycolate salts. For that you need a solvent-based tar remover. On badly neglected wheels with months-old brake dust that has worked its way into the pores, the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-rwc\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e can be the better call — its acid system is more powerful, though not suited to every wheel material. The choice is clear: when safety on chrome and polished wheels matters, MWC. When you need maximum cleaning power and you're working with alloy painted and steel, RWC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second case where no wheel cleaner in the world will help anymore: when the wheel is already visibly corroded or the clear coat has flaked off. At that point cleaning isn't the issue anymore — paint refurbishment is. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is a care product, not a restoration product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour standard for the regular wheel workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is the right call for anyone who keeps their wheels on a regular schedule and wants a product where they don't have to think about material compatibility. One product, one step, all wheels done. That's workshop logic — and that's exactly what the MWC is formulated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt really plays its strengths when you look after several vehicles with different wheel types or work on a fleet. Instead of three cleaners for three wheel types, one does it. It's weaker on extremely baked-on brake-dust residue from high-performance brake setups, or on wheels that haven't been cleaned for months. In both cases a second pass or a more aggressive product makes more sense than extending the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution the Magic Wheel Cleaner works best paired with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vorreinigung\"\u003epre-cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e like Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B, applied as foam over the whole wheel before the MWC goes into the spokes. Finish with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etyre dressing\u003c\/a\u003e on the flank — and the complete wheel workflow comes in at around 15 minutes per vehicle, if you stay on it every two weeks. That's the most common combo our customers buy: Vorreiniger B + Magic Wheel Cleaner. A precise, repeatable routine that works without scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead to head with the acid-free classic SONAX FelgenBeast, the Magic Wheel Cleaner comes out ahead on two counts: the higher viscosity means longer contact time on the wheel, and the workshop formula is dosed stronger for commercial use. The FelgenBeast has a milder smell, though — if you work in a closed garage you'll definitely notice that. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is the workshop standard. The FelgenBeast is the garage all-rounder. Both do their job reliably; the question is which one fits your working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48503670374735,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500","price":13.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":49725159276879,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":49725159342415,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48503670407503,"sku":"D1-KCX-425010","price":124.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-saeurefreier-felgenreiniger.jpg?v=1776410618"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger-750ml","title":"\"ReactiveWheelCleaner\" Rim Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003e The must-have for flawless rims is Koch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner 750ml\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e When it comes to car care, clean and shiny rims are the be-all and end-all for a well-maintained vehicle.

Wait at least 15 minutes after parking up and wet it down generously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dilution follows the level of dirt: 1:10 is enough for weekly upkeep, 1:5 is the all-round figure for normal brake dust after two to four weeks of driving, 1:2 stays reserved for the extreme crusts on workshop vehicles. A pump sprayer with a foam nozzle like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-foamer-bottle-schaumspender-150ml\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Foamer Bottle\u003c\/a\u003e or an iK Foam sprayer lays the solution down as a sticky wet foam that clings to the barrel and doesn't run off. On rougher wheels you can go over it with a soft wheel brush after 30 seconds — spread it, don't scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDwell time 1 to 3 minutes, 5 minutes max at the weakest dilution. Longer does nothing: Awh isn't about reaction time, it's about chemistry. Leave it on too long and all you risk is drying-in, and dry edges on the clear coat are the result. If a spot isn't clean, top up the dose — don't let it dwell longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish with a strong pressure jet top to bottom. Rinse the barrel and the spoke edges in a controlled way until no foamy veil runs off any more. Cold rinse water is a must: warm water speeds up drying-in inside the barrel, and a leftover cleaner film later pulls into the clear coat as a run mark. On the tyre sidewalls you can put the Awh straight to use — it lifts the brown antioxidant bloom (tyre-rubber blooming) at the same time and saves you the separate tyre cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-alkali-wheel-cleaner-awh-felgenreiniger-alkalisch_anwendung.png?v=1778768219\" alt=\"Daniel spraying Koch-Chemie Alkali Wheel Cleaner Awh 1:5 from the iK Foam Pro 2 Alk onto the wheel barrel\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel and painted aluminium yes, polished wheels no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAwh is cleared for standard steel wheels and alkali-resistant painted or powder-coated OEM aluminium wheels. As long as an intact clear coat protects the aluminium, the wheel behaves like perfectly normal paint and takes the cleaner with no trouble. That covers the vast bulk of the cars that sit on the lift at workshops and detailers every day — from lease returns to company cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Awh won't tolerate: raw aluminium, high-gloss polished aluminium, anodised wheels, magnesium wheels, uncoated forged wheels and chrome. On these surfaces the potassium hydroxide reacts with the metal in seconds. It oxidises the surface and leaves a milky, deeply etched patch — what's known as alkali burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis damage can't be washed off. The wheel is only saveable with hours of machine polishing at a specialist shop, and that runs into several hundred euros fast. In plain terms: on expensive multi-piece BBS RS wheels, on Porsche Fuchs wheels, on uncoated OZ forged wheels and on chrome lips, the sprayer stays in your hand. If you're not sure whether the wheel is anodised or painted, ask the manufacturer or test on an inconspicuous spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor exactly these sensitive wheel types, the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-mwc-felgenreiniger\"\u003eMagic Wheel Cleaner \"Mwc\"\u003c\/a\u003e or the reactive \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger-750ml\"\u003eReactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call.

Mwc or Reactive Wheel Cleaner for polished, anodised or chrome.

Applied dry, the hydrochloric acid reacts too quickly and attacks the surface more severely than necessary. Water as a pre-wetting agent slows down the reaction and distributes the concentrate evenly. Second common mistake: leaving it on for too long. With a pH of -0.2, 30 to 90 seconds are sufficient — after that, the product must be rinsed off thoroughly with high pressure. Drying causes material damage, not \"a little longer for more cleaning\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-wet, dilute 1:5, 60 seconds, rinse off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is not used undiluted. Standard dilution is 1:5 with water, up to 1:2 for extreme contamination, and up to 1:10 for light contamination. 11 kg of concentrate thus yields 33 to 110 kg of application solution — one liter of finished solution costs between 0.72 and 2.40 Euros depending on the dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore application, the rim is thoroughly rinsed with water. This pre-wetting is not optional. It slows down the acid reaction, distributes the concentrate better, and reduces the risk of streaks and localized material damage. Application is done with a low-pressure sprayer or brush from bottom to top, so that run-off marks do not dry. For vertical surfaces like car wash bay tiles, work in 1-meter sections so that the concentrate does not run over already treated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe order in the wheel area is important. First, cover the tire sidewall or apply the dilution precisely — hydrochloric acid can bleach tire markings. Then treat the rim itself, always working in the same rotational position so that no area is overlooked. After rinsing, visually check and only apply a second pass if there is visible residual dirt — this is rarely necessary with correctly dosed initial application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dwell time is 30 to 90 seconds. Upon visible reaction (foaming, discoloration), immediately rework with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e and rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure cleaner. Several short passes are better than one long one — the acid is saturated after a maximum of 2 minutes and only causes damage thereafter. Personal protective equipment is mandatory: acid-resistant gloves, safety glasses, long-sleeved work clothing. Immediately rinse splashes on the skin with plenty of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_anwendung.png?v=1776206205\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Fe Anwendung: Niederdruck-Sprühen auf vorgenässte Felge\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel rim yes. Polished aluminum rim no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is designed for acid-resistant materials. Steel rims, painted aluminum rims with intact clear coat, car wash bay tiles, and commercial vehicles are among them. The cleaning performance on baked-on brake dust from trucks, buses, and construction machinery is unmatched in the industry — no acid-free alternative comes close to its deep effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chemical reaction is clear: hydrochloric acid dissolves iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) from brake dust and converts it into water-soluble iron chloride, which washes away with the rinse water. The same principle applies to limescale (calcium carbonate), cement film after construction work, and boiler scale in car wash bays. Inorganic contamination is dissolved in seconds; organic contamination such as tar, oil, or insect residues is not attacked — for these, solvent-based or surfactant-based cleaners are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe speed advantage is concretely measurable. Acid-free wheel cleaners using thioglycolate require 3 to 5 minutes of dwell time per pass and often two to three passes for baked-on brake dust. The Fe dissolves the same contamination in 30 to 90 seconds in one pass. In a detailing business with ten vehicles per day, this means a time saving of 60 to 90 minutes — calculated as hourly wage, the investment in the large container pays for itself within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Fe immediately causes damage: polished aluminum without paint protection, magnesium, chrome (even slightly attacked), zinc, marble, natural stone, and all anodized surfaces. The pH value of -0.2 practically corresponds to concentrated hydrochloric acid — this is industrial chemistry, not detailing care. Before each initial use on an unknown surface, test an inconspicuous area, at least 5 cm² for 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and visually check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the rims are polished, chrome-plated, or uncoated, opt for the acid-free \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-felgenblitz-saurefrei-fb-felgenreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Felgenblitz \"Fb\"\u003c\/a\u003e — it works with iron-binding agents instead of acid and is material-compatible with all common rim types. If the rims are painted, have little brake dust, and you maintain them regularly, an acid-free cleaner is also sufficient. The Fe is only justified when the brake dust is baked on and acid-free cleaners reach their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_ergebnis.png?v=1776206212\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Fe Ergebnis: saubere Felge mit Wasserperlen\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorkshop, Detailer, Car Wash, and Construction Yard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is not an end-customer product. It belongs in the workshop, in the detailing bay, and in the car wash tunnel. If someone uses it privately in their home garage, they are buying 11 kg of concentrate for a task that an acid-free cleaner in a 1-liter format can solve just as well — with significantly less risk to the rim and their own health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical application areas can be clearly defined. Detailers with several vehicles daily need the fast, deep cleaning effect for initial detailing of neglected vehicles. Workshops with tire change services use it during wheel changes — especially in spring after the winter season, when road salt and baked-on brake dust sit together on the steel rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTruck and bus wash facilities use it as a main cleaner against brake dust and road grime. Construction companies clean construction vehicles after use to remove cement and lime residues. Building cleaners use it on workshop tiles, in maintenance halls, and on industrial floor areas when limescale deposits, rust stains, or cement film need to be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the purchasing decision, the question of container size remains. The 11 kg canisters are the right format for workshops with occasional needs and detailers with one to two vehicles per day — at a 1:5 dilution, they are sufficient for about 250 sets of rims. The 22 kg canister is worthwhile for detailing businesses and smaller car washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 225 kg drum with a pump system is the standard size for truck washes, large businesses, and building cleaners with daily use. The price per kg drops by about 12 percent from the 11 kg container to the 225 kg drum — the larger investment pays off with consistent daily demand. If you're unsure which container size fits, start with the 11 kg canister and upgrade as soon as three canisters per quarter are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution, combine the Fe for initial cleaning with the acid-free Felgenblitz \"Fb\" for regular follow-up cleaning — this limits acid use to what truly cannot be removed acid-free. For tire care afterwards, use a regular \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etire care product\u003c\/a\u003e. Store in the original canister, frost-free, separate from food, and separate from alkaline cleaners (risk of reaction).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Koch-Chemie wheel cleaner family, the Fe stands at the top of the acid line. If you need even more cleaning power and want to work with a three-acid mixture, opt for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-triple-acid-star-ta-felgenreiniger\"\u003eTriple Acid Star \"Ta\"\u003c\/a\u003e. If you want to work acid-free and have baked-on brake dust, accept several passes with the Felgenblitz or Reactive Wheel Cleaner. You use the Fe when cleaning needs to be fast, thorough, and done only once — precisely in the industrial application field for which Koch-Chemie's hydrochloric acid-based professional formula was originally developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_lineup.png?v=1776206219\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Fe alle Gebindegrößen: 11 kg, 22 kg, 225 kg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48762236436815,"sku":"D1-KCX-187011","price":81.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49671375913295,"sku":"D1-KCX-187022","price":160.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49671375946063,"sku":"D1-KCX-187225","price":1620.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_10L.png?v=1714912027"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-flugrostentferner-bmp-flb-flugrostentferner","title":"Rust remover BMP \"Flb\" Rust remover","description":"\u003cp\u003e The highly concentrated, powerful, acidic cleaner for removing inorganic dirt such as rust, limescale, brake dust, etc. from acid-resistant surfaces such as paint, glass, ceramic and metal parts.

If you care for your exterior plastic with PSS and also plan to mask off, foil or wax, treat PSS as the \u003cem\u003elast\u003c\/em\u003e step in the workflow. Order in practice: polish the paint, set the masking tape, then APC 1:10 as a pre-clean on the plastic, let it dry, only then put PSS on an applicator sponge, not on microfibre, which sucks too much product out of the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApply Plast Star after polishing, not before\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right order decides the result. \u003cstrong\u003ePlast Star \"Pss\"\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs after every paint job, not before. A barrier film sitting on the plastic before you polish clogs your pads and turns the paint job uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore PSS goes on the plastic, you pre-clean. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star \"Gs\" all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e 1:10 in water, spray on, let it work briefly, rinse off. This APC pre-clean opens the pores of an oxidised bumper and lets the micro-emulsion penetrate instead of just sitting on the surface. The manufacturer doesn't prescribe this step; in practice it adds two to three months of durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the plastic is fully dry, the product goes on with an applicator sponge. Microfibre is the wrong tool here because it pulls too much product out of the bottle. For an average bumper, two firm pumps from the bottle are enough, spread evenly across the surface, work it thoroughly into the material. On tyre sidewalls a bit more, about three pumps per tyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter working it in, don't wipe again. That measurably shortens durability. PSS dries in 5 to 15 minutes depending on ambient temperature, and exactly in that phase the micro-emulsion bonds with the substrate. During drying: no water contact, no cloth, no wax on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work on a warm bumper in the sun, drying is on the shorter side. In cool weather below 12 C plan for 15 minutes, on really cold days below 5 C better skip the job because polymer crosslinking won't run cleanly. The \u003cstrong\u003ecar exterior plastic care\u003c\/strong\u003e is done after this drying time. No polishing, no buffing, no second coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second coat brings nothing. Worse, it partly re-dissolves the layer that has already crosslinked. If you want to touch up the result, wait out the full durability and only then treat again, classic seasonal timing before spring and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-plast-star-pss-premium-kunststoffpflege-siliconoelfrei_anwendung_v2.png?v=1778162875\" alt=\"Applying Plast Star Pss with sponge on a door seal — Detailing1 workflow\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBarrier film blocks wax, sealant and paint coatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePSS builds a fine, hydrophobic protective film on the plastic. The same film that keeps dirt off also stops other care products from bonding later. That is the key limitation of Koch-Chemie's \u003cstrong\u003ecar exterior plastic care\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf a paint sealant or a coating is planned next on directly adjacent paint, apply PSS cleanly bordered or work it last. Otherwise the sealant runs along the plastic edge and leaves an uneven transition. On the plastic itself PSS is not top-coatable: a wax on top builds a greasy, uneven layer that streaks after the first rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso not for grip-relevant surfaces: pedals, steering wheel, gear lever and tyre tread. The manufacturer flags this because PSS creates a slippery surface there. Interior cockpits are not the Pss application area either. For those, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-top-star-ts-innenraum-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eTop Star \"Ts\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call, with its own formula for dashboards and door cards inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the same effect in concentrate form, at a 1:5 to 1:10 dilution for economical use in workshops, reach for Hydro Plast Care \"Hpc\". That is the concentrate sister of Pss from the same house, with the same micro-emulsion principle.

They penetrate the micro-cracks of oxidised plastic and crosslink there. Unlike a classic silicone oil film that only sits on top and brings shine, this care builds a structural bond with the substrate.

The result is dull grey-brown wheels that look dirty even after washing. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed precisely for this purpose — a powerful special cleaner with a self-activating cleaning formula that chemically dissolves baked-on brake dust, oil and rubber residues, and road grime without damaging the wheel surface.

The special formulation of Wheel Cleaner PLUS is explicitly approved for TPMS systems — an important detail for all newer vehicles that many competing products cannot offer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always spray Wheel Cleaner PLUS onto cooled wheels — never onto hot wheels directly after driving. Hot surfaces will cause the product to dry immediately, the active indicator cannot develop, and cleaning performance will be significantly reduced. After switching off the vehicle, wait at least 10–15 minutes before starting. For heavily soiled wheels with baked-on brake dust: Spray generously, wait 5 minutes, and then assist the effect with a soft wheel brush — this will also loosen residues from deeper spoke areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-activating cleaning with an active indicator — how XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is its self-activating cleaning formula with optimized adhesion. Unlike a simple cleaning surfactant in an aqueous solution — which would run off the rim before it could act — the Wheel Cleaner PLUS formula adheres to vertical and curved rim surfaces. This optimized adhesion gives the product the necessary contact time to chemically act on baked-on brake dust and metal oxide particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color indicator is the visible sign of this reaction. Iron particles — the main component of brake dust — react with specific active substances in the formula, producing a reddish-violet dye. This is not an artificial coloring, but a genuine chemical reaction: the more intense the red discoloration, the more brake dust is present. When the discoloration fades, the majority of the iron particles are bound and dissolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-skin-neutral formulation is not a marketing detail, but a safety statement: The cleaner works in the neutral pH range, meaning it does not attack aluminum or steel alloys. Galvanized steel elements such as wheel bolts and valves also remain unaffected. With more alkaline or acidic cleaners, there is a risk of clouding or corrosion on wheel bolts and decorative parts — with Wheel Cleaner PLUS, this risk is eliminated by the formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important note on application temperature: pH-neutral iron removers work most effectively at room temperature. Very cold wheels (below 5 degrees Celsius) noticeably slow down the reaction speed — in freezing conditions, the application time can be extended to 8-10 minutes to achieve comparable results. In extreme cold, briefly pre-warming the wheel with lukewarm water from the hose is helpful, bringing the surface to operating temperature without overheating the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimized adhesion of the formula is particularly relevant for vehicles with deep-dish sports wheels. Brake dust and oil residues preferentially accumulate on the back of the spokes and in the wheel well — areas that are difficult to reach with a normal water jet and would immediately drain away if a liquid cleaner without adhesive properties were used. The Wheel Cleaner PLUS adheres to these vertical and inverted surfaces, giving the active ingredient the necessary time to penetrate the residue even there. This makes a real difference for vehicles with deep-dish sports wheels, where cleaning the inner wheel areas is otherwise particularly arduous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrectly apply Wheel Cleaner PLUS — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication begins before the actual spraying: Shake the bottle briefly and turn the spray nozzle to the spray position. For unknown or repainted wheels, first check material compatibility in an inconspicuous area — repainted wheels with freshly applied clear coat may react sensitively to the cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the cooled wheels evenly and generously from a short distance (15–20 cm). Important: Apply generously so that the entire wheel surface is wetted, including the back of the spokes and the wheel well. Allow the cleaner to act for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination. Observe the color reaction — on heavily soiled wheels, the reddish discoloration will be clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn baked-on brake dust, mechanical assistance with a soft wheel brush is recommended. The brush distributes the cleaner evenly into depressions and loosens residues that cannot be completely removed purely chemically. Wear suitable protective gloves — the product can cause skin irritation with prolonged skin contact. Then rinse thoroughly with a strong jet of water or a high-pressure cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is allowing the cleaner to dry: if the application time is too long or the sun shines directly on the wet wheel, the cleaner can dry and leave white residues. While these can be removed with water, it's unnecessary extra effort. Therefore, work in the shade if possible and do not exceed the recommended application time of 5 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother practical tip for optimal results: Always treat all four wheels sequentially in a cycle — spray wheel 1, then wheel 2, then 3, then 4 — and then start rinsing with wheel 1. This way, each wheel gets the full application time of 3-5 minutes without you having to wait. This saves time and ensures consistent results on all wheels. For very heavily soiled wheels, a second application may be necessary — in this case, rinse the wheel, spray again, and let it work for another 3 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrake dust, rubber, oil — what PLUS removes from all rim types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrake dust is the most common and stubborn wheel contaminant. It originates from metal particles of the brake disc and brake pad during braking and is heated by the brake hydraulics. At temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius, it literally bakes onto the wheel surface. Normal surfactant-based shampoos cannot dissolve these baked-on oxide particles — a special cleaner with an iron-reducing component like Wheel Cleaner PLUS is needed for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the cleaner dissolves oil and rubber residues that accumulate from tire abrasion on the inner wheel flange. These residues are tougher than brake dust and adhere particularly stubbornly to polished or high-gloss wheels. The self-activating cleaning formula penetrates these residues and emulsifies them, so they are completely removed during rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor painted and powder-coated wheels, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is a safe choice. The pH-neutral formula does not attack clear coats or powder coatings — a decisive advantage over acidic wheel cleaners, which are designed for uncoated aluminum wheels and can cause damage to painted surfaces. Chrome-plated wheels also benefit from the gentle formula — chrome is sensitive to acids but remains undamaged by the pH-neutral treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatte wheels are a special category where many wheel cleaners fail: overly aggressive products alter the matte surface through chemical reactions or leave shiny spots. The Wheel Cleaner PLUS is also explicitly approved for matte wheel surfaces — the gentle formula cleans without affecting the matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor steel wheels, commonly found on winter tires, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is also the right choice. In winter, steel wheels accumulate a particularly large amount of contaminants from road salt and wet roads, which adhere stubbornly in spring. The combination of iron reaction and surfactant formula removes both rust film and salt and grease deposits in a single cleaning step — ideal for the spring check of winter wheels before storage or switching to summer tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel cleaner comparison — PLUS, FelgenBeast, and PROFILINE Red Max\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX range, there are several wheel cleaners that differ in aggressiveness, formulation, and application area. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eFelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e is also acid-free and works with color-change technology. It is explicitly designed for all wheel types, including painted wheels, and is highly recognized as a direct counterpart to Wheel Cleaner PLUS. The difference lies in the details: FelgenBeast is optimized for regular cleaning of moderate soiling, while Wheel Cleaner PLUS, with its self-activating adhesive formula, is particularly effective against more heavily baked-on brake dust and adheres longer to the surface. Those who clean at short intervals and never let brake dust accumulate too much will be well served by FelgenBeast. Those who wait longer between cleanings or drive a vehicle with sportier brakes will consider PLUS the more powerful choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional users with extremely dirty wheels or vehicles in preparation, there is SONAX's PROFILINE series with higher cleaning intensity. PROFILINE products are formulated for professional use, but also require more caution during application and are not suitable for all wheel types. Wheel Cleaner PLUS, as an XTREME product, offers the private user the right balance of performance and safety — strong enough for stubborn brake dust, safe enough for all common wheel surfaces without special precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, a protective product is recommended: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-felgenschutzversiegelung-felgen-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Wheel Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e forms a hydrophobic protective barrier on the wheel surface after cleaning, which makes brake dust and dirt adhere less well during subsequent accumulation. Those who seal their wheels after every thorough cleaning significantly reduce the cleaning frequency and considerably extend the time until the next intensive wheel care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying wheel cleaner — who benefits from XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right product for vehicle owners who want to clean their wheels regularly and thoroughly — with a product that doesn't give up even on heavily baked-on brake dust. It is particularly suitable for vehicles with sporty brakes that generate higher amounts of brake dust, or for vehicles with longer cleaning intervals where brake dust has accumulated over several weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of vehicles with TPMS systems, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is the safe choice: The explicit approval for TPMS valves removes the uncertainty of whether the cleaner could damage the pressure sensors. Especially for newer vehicles, where almost all variants come with TPMS, this is an important purchasing criterion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sensible care workflow for wheels: Wheel Cleaner PLUS for basic cleaning of heavy brake dust, followed by XTREME Wheel Sealant for long-lasting protection and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-reifen-felgendetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Tire+Wheel Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e for a quick refresh between full washes. This combination keeps wheels permanently clean and well protected with minimal effort. The clever thing about it: if you seal the wheels after basic cleaning, you need significantly less Wheel Cleaner PLUS for the next cleaning interval, because the protective layer reduces the accumulation of brake dust. So the system pays off not only visually, but also economically — less product consumption with the same or better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWheel Cleaner PLUS is available in 500 ml and 750 ml spray bottles. The 500 ml bottle is sufficient for numerous cleaning cycles for a normal car — those who maintain several vehicles or clean frequently will find the 750 ml bottle more economical. Both sizes offer the same cleaner and the same performance, just in different container sizes. For average private use, the 500 ml bottle is the more practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of effort, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is one of the most time-saving methods for wheel care. Spray, let it soak in, rinse — without scrubbing, without multiple applications, without re-polishing. This makes it particularly attractive for vehicle owners who want to integrate care into their regular washing weekends without investing a lot of extra effort. In 15–20 minutes, all four wheels of a car are cleaned and ready for subsequent sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: SONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS is a solid choice for anyone who wants to clean their wheels thoroughly and gently — without compromising on aggressiveness, but without risk to sensitive wheel surfaces. The active indicator makes the effect visible, the TPMS approval makes it safe for modern vehicles, and the pH-neutral formula makes it universally applicable. The result is wheels that look truly clean after cleaning — not just superficially, but down to the wheel bed. Anyone who has worked with a self-activating iron remover will not want to do without the visible active indicator reaction: the reddening of the formula on the wheel is direct feedback that the cleaner is working, and the fading discoloration indicates when the process is complete. Thus, wheel care is never a mystery — it becomes a controllable, reproducible routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160878162255,"sku":"D1-SNX-02302090","price":12.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160878195023,"sku":"D1-SNX-02304000","price":14.51,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57340506538319,"sku":"D1-SNX-02305050","price":54.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Felgen-Reiniger-PLUS-750-ml-7.png?v=1721514380"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzgel-ultra-wet-look-reifenpflege","title":"XTREME Tire Shine Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\" Tire Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDeep Wet-Look Shine for Tires — SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\" special?

Apply the gel with an applicator sponge in even strokes — from the inside of the tire outwards — and let it absorb for five minutes before moving the vehicle. This prevents the gel from being flung onto the rim when starting and leaving unsightly marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGel Formula instead of Spray — Why Consistency Makes All the Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTire care products come in three basic consistencies: as a watery spray, as a foam, and as a gel. The gel consistency of SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel is the most complex to produce, but it offers concrete advantages in everyday use. While a watery spray spreads quickly, it tends to run off the tire wall — especially on vertical or curved tire flanks, less active ingredient often adheres than hoped. This leads to uneven shine: more at the top, less at the bottom. The gel formula, however, is so viscous that it stays in place after application. It doesn't run off, it doesn't seep into grooves and tread incisions, but lies evenly across the entire tire flank. This is why the Ultra Wet Look effect is so consistent and complete. For correct application, you don't need a special brush or spray head — a simple tire applicator sponge is sufficient. You apply the gel sparingly, spread it in circular motions, and let it absorb. There are no streaks, no touch-ups — the gel shows its effect in a few minutes. Another aspect: the gel consistency allows for precise application. You can apply it specifically to the tire flank without spraying rims, brake calipers, or the bodywork. Anyone who works in detailing daily and processes many vehicles one after another appreciates this aspect: no masking, no protective film application, no re-wiping of the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Tire Care Correctly — Step-by-Step to the Optimal Wet Look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's another aspect of the gel formula that is underestimated in everyday use: dosing accuracy. With a spray product, the amount of active ingredient applied is difficult to control — you spray, and what sticks, sticks. With the gel, you have full control: You apply exactly the amount you need to the sponge, and you know that it will all end up on the tire. This makes the gel not only more precise but also more economical, as no product is wasted. Anyone who processes several vehicles a week will notice this difference in consumption significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of the Tire Gloss Gel stands and falls with the preparation. The most common mistake is applying it to a dirty or damp tire — in this case, the gel doesn't adhere optimally, the gloss effect appears dull, and the durability decreases significantly. The correct procedure is simple: First, thoroughly clean the tire, ideally with a specialized tire cleaner or an alkaline all-purpose cleaner that dissolves brake dust, road grime, and old care product residues. Then let it dry completely — with a microfiber cloth or a compressed air blower. Only now should the Tire Gloss Gel be applied. Place a hazelnut-sized amount of gel onto your applicator sponge and spread it evenly on the clean, dry tire flank. Start on one side and work your way around the entire tire so that you don't treat any area twice or not at all. A thin, even layer is sufficient — more gel does not mean more shine, but rather an increased risk of the gel being flung onto the rim when starting the car. Allow the gel to absorb for at least five minutes before driving the vehicle. For very absorbent or old rubber, a second thin layer after the first absorption may be beneficial. This enhances the wet-look effect and extends the protective action. For the best durability of the effect — especially for vehicles that are regularly driven in the rain — a refresh after every car wash is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question is whether the gel can be applied to wet or rain-soaked tires. The answer is clear: You should avoid this. Water dilutes the gel, it adheres less effectively, and the wet-look result is noticeably weaker. Waiting five minutes after drying makes a significant difference. Those who wash their vehicle in a hall or garage and then prepare it in a dry environment have the greatest leeway for a clean result. For businesses that prepare vehicles outdoors, a fast-drying tire cleaner plus a quick blast with compressed air is the most effective preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Use and When the Ultra-Wet Look Effect Makes Its Appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\" is primarily an optical care product — that should be clearly stated. It smooths and seals the tire flank, protects against UV radiation and drying out, but it does not replace worn tires and has no influence on driving characteristics or grip. The area of application is therefore clear: show cars, freshly detailed vehicles, showrooms, photo shoots, trade fairs — wherever appearance is crucial. But the product is also suitable for normal road use: a well-maintained, shiny tire is not a luxury, but a sign of meticulousness that appeals equally to customers, buyers, and drivers. The Ultra Wet Effect is quite long-lasting: on a dry driving day without heavy rain, the high gloss usually lasts several days. With frequent rain or dirt, a weekly refresh after washing is recommended. For detailing businesses preparing vehicles for delivery, the Tire Gloss Gel is a standard product: quickly applied, immediately visible effect, no elaborate re-working. The customer immediately sees upon collection that the vehicle has been fully prepared — even the tires. An aspect rarely mentioned: the gel not only protects against optical deterioration but also extends the visual lifespan of older tires that still have tread but already look faded. Here, Tire Gloss Gel can significantly improve the appearance without the need for a tire change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also important to know what the product cannot do: It doesn't cover structural damage, cracks in the rubber, or worn tread blocks. Anyone trying to mask safety-relevant tire wear with an optical refresh is ill-advised. The care function refers to the rubber structure and appearance — driving safety remains solely the responsibility of the tire condition. This should be clear despite all the enthusiasm for the result. The gel gives a healthy tire an appealing appearance and protects it in the process — nothing more, and that's a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTire Care Comparison — Gel, Spray, and Matt-Effect at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone new to tire care products can quickly become overwhelmed by the variety of options. Your own priorities provide a good starting point: Is it about optics, care, or protection? With the Tire Gloss Gel, optics and care are equally paramount — a product that delivers both in one step and is easy to use. If you only want to optimize one of these aspects, you'll find more specialized solutions in the product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX XTREME range, there are several tire care products, and the differences are intentionally made: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzspray-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eXTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e achieves the same high-gloss effect as the gel, but is designed for quick applications where a sponge is not available or multiple tires need to be treated quickly. The spray delivers a similar result, is faster to use — but with the disadvantage of overspray on painted rims. The SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\" is the more precise choice when visual demands are high and a streak-free, even result is expected. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenpfleger-matt-effect-reifenpflege\"\u003eXTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\"\u003c\/a\u003e has a completely different character: it doesn't provide gloss, but a deep, silky matte finish that is particularly impressive on black sports tires or on vehicles with matte paintwork or wraps. If you find a vehicle with shiny tires to be \"too much show,\" opt for the Matt-Effect. For professional application and large quantities, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003ePROFILINE Tire Gloss \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e is recommended, available in 5-liter containers for businesses and fleets. The consistency is similar to that of the XTREME gel, but the formula is optimized for continuous professional use. The choice therefore depends on the application: gel for precise results and high demands, spray for speed, Matt-Effect for a subtle look, PROFILINE for commercial continuous use. If you're torn between gel and spray and primarily looking for quick, regular care, you can also use both variants alternately: gel for thorough weekly detailing, spray for a quick refresh in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePurchase Recommendation — Who the Tire Gloss Gel is Right For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore we get to the target audience: If you already have a passion for detailing and know what you want, you can get started right away. For everyone else, a brief overview of the alternatives in the range is worthwhile so that the decision really fits. Basically: if you're going for high gloss, reach for the gel. If you like it quick, go for the spray. If you prefer a matte look, opt for the Matt-Effect. And if you need large quantities, choose the PROFILINE variant. All four have their justification — the question is what suits the application situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\" is suitable for anyone for whom the final visual result is important. This sounds obvious, but it isn't: If you simply want to treat tires with care, without needing a high gloss, it's better to use a tire care product without a gloss effect. However, if you are preparing a vehicle for delivery, a photoshoot, a sale, or simply for a Sunday drive, and the overall appearance needs to be perfect, the XTREME Tire Gloss Gel is exactly right. The price is in the mid-range: The 500 ml bottle lasts for many applications with economical dosing. A complete vehicle only needs a few milliliters per tire per treatment, meaning one bottle can easily handle ten to fifteen applications. For private individuals with one or two vehicles, the 500 ml bottle is therefore very economical in the long run. As a complementary product after tire care, a tire cleaner is recommended for pretreatment — this ensures maximum adhesion and durability of the gel. In combination with rim care and a final vehicle sealant, a complete detailing workflow results, showcasing the vehicle in the best light. For those who regularly detail multiple vehicles and need larger quantities, the PROFILINE variant should be considered — but for the occasional detailer, the XTREME Tire Gloss Gel is entirely sufficient and easy to use in every respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is also particularly useful for vehicle owners who subject their car to a complete detailing several times a year — for example, before spring, after winter salt exposure, or before an extended period of storage. After washing, a well-maintained tire not only looks better, but it is also better protected for the coming months. Regularity makes all the difference here: Applying the gel after every second wash maintains the protective film and eliminates worries about faded or brittle rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne last note for new customers: The gel is water-based and contains no harmful solvents that could damage the rubber in the long term. It is designed for outdoor use and formulated to be UV-resistant. The bottle with a dosing cap is easy to handle and prevents accidental leakage in the vehicle or trunk. For professional detailers who use the product daily, SONAX offers bulk options through specialized retailers — a look at the PROFILINE line is worthwhile in this case. If you are unsure which variant suits your vehicle and application profile, feel free to contact Detailing1 directly for advice — we will help you make the right choice, whether for a single vehicle or an entire fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160878686543,"sku":"D1-SNX-02352410","price":15.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-ReifenGlanzGel-Ultra-Wet-Look-6.png?v=1721514339"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzspray-wet-look-reifenpflege","title":"XTREME Tire Shine Spray \"Wet Look\" Tire Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDeep black wet-look shine in less than five minutes — SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does a tire care spray with a wet-look effect do?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses this: The aerosol formula in the 400ml pressurized container can be applied directly without a brush or applicator sponge.

A clean tire absorbs the Tire Gloss Spray more evenly—on an unclean surface, dull spots will appear where dirt interferes with distribution. After cleaning, let the tire dry completely before applying the spray: moisture under the protective film significantly reduces durability. Always apply the spray in a circular motion from a uniform distance of about 20 cm over the entire sidewall—short bursts from close range create drippy spots that will dry unevenly later. If even deeper gloss is desired, apply a second, very thin layer after the initial exposure time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAerosol Technology — how SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\" creates deep black shine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aerosol formula of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for the specific requirements of tire rubber. Tire rubber is porous, elastic, and has a heavily textured surface—quite different from smooth car paint. A tire care product must therefore penetrate the pores without adhering to the surface and later flinging off or transferring to brakes and brake discs. The Tire Gloss Spray contains low-viscosity care components that penetrate deep into the rubber surface, revitalize plasticizers, and simultaneously leave a thin, adhesive gloss film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wet-look appearance is created by light-refracting components in the formula that intensify the depth of the tire's black. Fresh, clean rubber has a natural, rich black—due to UV exposure, temperature changes, and dirt accumulation, this black fades to a dull gray. The Tire Gloss Spray formula contains black pigment enhancers and polymers that optically and actually reverse this gray tone: the rubber's black returns to a level close to that of newly delivered tires. The gloss level is deliberately positioned in the high-gloss wet-look range—visibly more intense than the natural matte gloss of well-maintained tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV protection components in the spray are more important for long-term tire care than the immediate visual effect. Rubber contains plasticizers (antiozonants and antioxidants) that are incorporated during the manufacturing process and ensure the tire's elasticity throughout its lifespan. UV radiation and ozone break down these plasticizers—leading to cracking, especially on the sidewall, and permanent embrittlement of the surface. UV-stabilizing care products like the Tire Gloss Spray slow down this degradation by shielding the surface with UV filters. No care product can permanently stop plasticizer degradation—but regular application, especially with summer storage or intense sun exposure, noticeably extends the optical lifespan of the tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for vehicle safety: The Tire Gloss Spray is intended for the tire sidewall, not the tread. The tire tread must be dry and grippy—any care product on the tread would reduce traction and poses a safety risk. When applying the spray, carefully cover the tread or spray directly away from the sidewall. The spray is thin enough that it adheres to the sidewall and does not drip onto the tread when applied correctly from 20 cm distance. After application, the vehicle should sit for at least 30 minutes before being moved—to allow the product to fully penetrate and prevent excess residue from splashing onto the brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Tire Gloss Spray — distance, spray, and exposure time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application process for Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\" is designed for speed: clean, dry tire — shake can — spray thinly and evenly over the entire sidewall from approximately 20 cm distance — let sit for 5 minutes — done. No masking, no wiping, no polishing. The entire tire care process for a set of tires takes less than 10 minutes with practiced application, including preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20 cm distance is a precise guideline, not a rough estimate. Too close a distance (under 15 cm) creates an overly thick, wet film that dries unevenly and leaves drip marks. Too great a distance (over 30 cm) reduces accuracy and wastes spray without sufficient product reaching the sidewall. The circular hand movement during spraying is important: instead of aiming the can at one spot and holding it, move it evenly over the sidewall, covering the entire sidewall from the rim edge to the tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional detailing, where the inside of the wheel well and the inner tire surface also need care, the aerosol format is particularly suitable: the spray mist reaches hard-to-access areas without the need to insert an applicator. The spray does not produce as strong a mist as a high-pressure cleaner, so there is no excessive overspray on adjacent surfaces. Nevertheless, when spraying, ensure that no rim surfaces, brake calipers, or lug nut holes are directly sprayed—the spray can leave oil stains on polished aluminum surfaces that need to be cleaned separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with wide sports tires or striking low-profile tires, the tire sidewall is a particularly important visual component of the overall appearance. Here, it is worth checking any tire markings (white or yellow tire lettering) before applying the Tire Gloss Spray: the spray slightly darkens white letter profiles on the sidewall. For tires with whitewall markings, a separate cleaning step for the light areas is recommended before the gloss spray is applied to the dark sidewall parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposure time of 5 minutes is given as a minimum. At colder outdoor temperatures below 10°C, an exposure time of 10–15 minutes is recommended, as the formula penetrates the rubber pores more slowly in the cold. In summer, at temperatures above 25°C, the spray dries faster and can be completely dry within 3 minutes in direct sunlight. Generally: the spray is fully absorbed when the surface has changed from moist-glossy to dry-rich black. If you want to check before driving whether the spray holds: lightly touch with a finger—if it is still slightly sticky, it needs another one or two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUV Protection and Durability — how long the wet-look effect lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of the Tire Gloss Spray effect depends on several factors that can vary greatly in practice. Under normal conditions (dry-stored vehicle, moderate weather, occasional drives), the wet-look gloss lasts 4–8 weeks before visibly diminishing due to rain, dirt accumulation, and mechanical abrasion. With intensive use—daily drives, rain, muddy roads—the gloss effect can be significantly reduced after just 2 weeks and requires a refresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRain is the biggest enemy of tire care durability: water pressure on the sidewall during driving gradually washes away the protective film. Anyone who regularly drives their vehicle through rain or washes it should refresh the tire care more frequently—once a month is a good rhythm for heavily used vehicles. For vehicles that are mainly kept dry or driven only occasionally, a treatment every 6–8 weeks may be sufficient to maintain the optical standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn often-overlooked aspect is the effect of tire care on rim cleaning during the next wash: well-maintained tires with a protective film absorb less road dirt and brake dust on their surface, as the porous rubber surface is sealed by the care film. This means that less cleaning agent and effort are needed during the next cleaning—an indirect time advantage of regular tire care that detailers quickly appreciate in practice. Clean tires stay clean longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles in long-term storage (classic car winterization, seasonal vehicles), the Tire Gloss Spray is a useful care tool before storage: a fresh layer of UV protection on the tires before the vehicle sits for several months protects the sidewalls from static cracking due to ozone and dry storage air. When the vehicle is brought out again, the tires will then appear optically fresher than without care before storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTire Gloss Spray in comparison — Spray vs. Gel, Matte-Effect, and PROFILINE variant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX tire care range, the XTREME Tire Gloss Spray has its clearly defined place alongside other products.

The difference lies in application convenience: the spray is applied faster and is particularly suitable for regular quick care and vehicles with hard-to-reach wheel arches; the gel provides more depth and durability for show preparations or when particularly intense gloss is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenpfleger-matt-effect-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Care \"Matte-Effect\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the counterpart for drivers who prefer the natural, matte look of new tires—without high gloss, without a wet-look appearance. Many sports car manufacturers explicitly recommend matte tire care, as high-gloss products contradict the brand's aesthetic. The Matte-Effect is formulated similarly in terms of content (UV protection, care components), but without light-refracting gloss components. For classic vehicles, sports cars, and vehicles with wide tires, the matte look is often more suitable than the intense wet-look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Tire Gloss \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e variant is the professional version for detailing businesses: same wet-look optics as the XTREME spray, but in a formulation and container size for continuous professional use. The PROFILINE product has a higher active ingredient content and a more intensive depth of action—ideal when many vehicles are prepared daily and the reapplication rate is high. For the private user with one or two vehicles, the XTREME Tire Gloss Spray is the more cost-effective choice; the professional opts for PROFILINE for a higher yield per application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Wet-Look Tire Care — for whom SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray is the first choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right choice for anyone who wants to keep their tires in top optical condition quickly and easily—without a lengthy detailing workflow. Those who quickly enhance their tires after a car wash use the spray in less than 10 minutes for all four wheels. For detailing beginners, the spray is the ideal introduction to tire care because the application is virtually error-free: no spills, no uneven application with a sponge, no wiping off excess. The aerosol format is more forgiving of beginner mistakes than gel products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional detailing businesses, the Tire Gloss Spray is particularly suitable for quick detailing during vehicle deliveries or interim cleanings: short application time, good results, no applicator handling. For detailing jobs that demand maximum gloss and maximum durability—show cars, vehicle presentations, new car handovers—the PROFILINE gel is recommended for an even more intense effect. The XTREME Tire Gloss Spray is the product for everyday use; the gel for special appearances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombination recommendation: Anyone who regularly cares for their vehicle's paintwork can integrate the Tire Gloss Spray into a smooth overall workflow: wash the vehicle, dry the paint, then treat the tires with the spray while the paint air dries—no time loss, no extra effort. As a verified SONAX specialist dealer, Detailing1 permanently carries the XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\" in its assortment.

First, clean the rim thoroughly with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-felgenreiniger-plus\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Rim Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/a\u003e or FelgenBeast, dry it completely, and remove residual water from all recesses. Then shake the can and spray generously — do not wipe. Allow to cure for at least one hour before moving the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRim Sealant Technology — How the Hydrophobic Protective Barrier Works on the Rim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of this rim sealant lies in the formation of a permanently water-repellent film on the rim surface. This film is hydrophobic — water and water-containing dirt particles are repelled and bead off in the form of droplets, instead of spreading out over the material. Brake dust, which constantly gets onto the rim during normal driving, adheres significantly less well to the sealed surface and is easier to rinse off during the next car wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism behind it is similar to that of a paint sealant: the sealant fills the microscopically small irregularities of the rim surface and creates a smoother, less reactive surface. Brake dust contains iron particles that, when hot — immediately after braking — can burn into rough surfaces. On a sealed rim, brake dust has less surface area to attack and can be removed more easily during the next cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an aerosol spray, the sealant spreads evenly over the entire rim surface — even in hard-to-reach areas such as spoke backs and recesses around the wheel bolts. These areas are often only incompletely covered by conventional wax or paste sealants. The spray format ensures a more homogeneous protective layer than manual application methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant to understand: The sealant does not prevent brake dust from settling on the rim — that is physically impossible. It changes the adhesion properties of the surface so that brake dust penetrates less deeply into micropores and rough spots and is therefore easier to remove during the next cleaning. This is a subtle but practically noticeable difference: anyone who washes a freshly sealed rim after 2 weeks of driving will notice that the brake dust comes off with significantly less mechanical effort than without sealant. The chemistry behind it explains this: untreated rim surfaces have higher surface energy — dirt particles adhere more strongly. The hydrophobic coating reduces this energy and makes the surface less sticky for particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealing Rims — Step-by-Step to Lasting Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation is crucial for rim sealing — at least as important as for paint sealing. A sealant applied to a dirty or damp rim will not adhere correctly and will not build up an even protective film. Step one is therefore a thorough rim cleaning: brake dust, dirt, and all residues must be completely removed. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX FelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e or XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS are best suited for this — both chemically dissolve iron particles and brake dust and leave a clean surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, complete drying follows. Residual water — especially in the recesses of the wheel bolts and in the spoke undercuts — must be carefully removed. Compressed air from a compressor or a lint-free cloth that reaches into all grooves are helpful here. Traces of moisture under the sealant will create streaks and weaken adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake during the first use: applying too little product because you want to be economical. The sealant only forms its protective film evenly if the surface is completely covered. A generous spray — the rim should appear visibly wet — is sufficient; a second pass after a short dwell time increases the layer thickness and thus the protective effect. Holding the can at a distance of approx. 20–30 cm while spraying ensures even distribution without excessive application in individual areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen: shake the can, spray evenly and generously onto the dry rim — do not wipe. The sealant should distribute itself evenly. Then allow to cure for at least one hour. The vehicle must not be moved or washed during this time. Do not apply to hot rims — immediately after driving — as the elevated temperature negatively affects curing. Wait at least 30 minutes after parking for the rims to cool down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTip for complete coverage: Briefly move the vehicle forward after sealing the visible side to make the spoke backs accessible — the back of the spokes is also exposed to heavy brake dust. A second spray from behind is worthwhile for vehicles highly susceptible to dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA question we frequently receive: Can the sealant be applied to hot rims, immediately after driving? The answer is clear: No. Hot rims — brake discs and calipers heat up to several hundred degrees during spirited driving, and the heat transfers to the rim — accelerate curing uncontrollably and lead to uneven layer formation. In the worst case, the solvent in the spray evaporates too quickly, and the protective film does not adhere correctly. Wait at least 20–30 minutes after parking the vehicle until the rims are hand-warm before you start sealing. If you follow this, you will ensure that the protective layer cures evenly and achieves its full protective effect of up to 6 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading Effect and Easy-to-Clean — What's Noticeable in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sealant measurably changes the cleaning behavior of the rim. Without sealant, brake dust sticks to the rim, dries due to the heat of the braking system, and after several drives forms a stubborn layer that can only be removed with chemical rim cleaner. With the sealant, brake dust may be visually present after one or two drives — but it adheres more shallowly to the surface and is much easier to rinse off during the next basic wash, often even with a pressure washer without additional rim cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe beading effect on the rim surface is clearly visible in wet weather or after rain: water contracts into droplets instead of standing flat on the surface. This means fewer water spots from limescale residues and a rim that looks clean faster after rain. Anyone who regularly details vehicles or works in customer service knows: clean-looking rims are an essential part of the first visual impression of a well-maintained vehicle. Brown-covered rims make even freshly polished paint look outdated — conversely, clean, shiny rims significantly enhance the overall appearance of the vehicle. The sealant is therefore not only a cleaning aid, but an investment in the long-term appearance of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe protective effect diminishes over time — after about 6 weeks under normal driving conditions, reapplication after cleaning is advisable. By regularly sealing the vehicle at this rhythm, you keep the rims permanently in a condition that prevents deep baking of brake dust and iron oxidation on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on durability: The 6 weeks apply under normal driving conditions. Those who brake frequently — in city traffic, on the racetrack, or during long descents — generate more brake dust and more heat on the rim. The protective layer is then subjected to greater mechanical and thermal stress and may wear off earlier. For such use profiles, a slightly shorter reapplication rhythm of 4 weeks is recommended to maintain the protective effect. Those who mainly drive their vehicle on the highway or on long, low-braking routes, however, will find that the sealant lasts significantly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRim Sealant Comparison — Spray vs. Paste vs. Ceramic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Rim Protective Sealant positions itself as a quick-to-apply protection solution for regular use. Compared to paste sealants, which need to be manually polished in, the time required is significantly less: apply spray, allow to cure, done. The coverage of hard-to-reach rim areas is more homogeneous with the aerosol format than with manually applied products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic products such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-sprayversiegelung-spruehversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Spray Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e are primarily designed for bodywork and painted surfaces. Rims are exposed to completely different thermal stresses — direct proximity to the brake disc, rapid temperature changes from cold to hot and back. Special rim sealants are optimized for this stress and often offer better results here than all-round ceramics. For pure rim sealing with good value for money and an easy reapplication rhythm, the XTREME Rim Protective Sealant is a reliable mid-range product with clear strengths in everyday care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of comparison is the effort involved: paste sealants for rims must be polished in, cured, and wiped off — this takes several minutes per rim and requires microfiber cloths and gloves. The aerosol is applied to all four rims in 2–3 minutes, no tools needed, no elaborate post-processing. For regular maintenance sealants — every 4–6 weeks after washing — the aerosol format is clearly the more convenient choice. For initial sealants after a complete rim polish, where the surface has been prepared accordingly, paste products can offer better adhesion and longer durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Rim Sealant — Who Benefits from SONAX XTREME Rim Protective Sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rim sealant is the right choice for vehicle owners who want to keep their rims clean regularly but don't want to spend a lot of time on stubborn brake dust with every cleaning. The sealant is particularly useful for vehicles that are driven sportily and thus have a high input of brake dust on the rims — as well as for vehicles that are regularly cleaned in the car wash or with a pressure washer, as the easy-to-clean effect then noticeably speeds up cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicle detailers who prepare customer vehicles and want to keep them visually attractive for a longer period, the sealant is an efficient step at the end of rim detailing. The combination of thorough cleaning — brake dust completely removed — and subsequent sealing provides the protection that prevents the clean rim from looking unsightly again at the next customer appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who wash their vehicle frequently — weekly or every two weeks — particularly benefit from the sealant: every wash causes mechanical abrasion, which increasingly dulls an unsealed rim. Regular sealing after washing protects the rim surface from this abrasion and preserves the original shine of the rim in the long term. This applies especially to high-gloss aluminum rims, where scratches from brushes or rough cloths quickly become visible — although the protective layer does not offer complete mechanical shielding here, it provides a significantly better starting point than an unprotected surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA final note on storage: The aerosol can should not be stored in direct sunlight or in vehicle interiors in summer — temperatures above 50 °C can increase the pressure in the can and change the formula. A cool, dry storage location extends the shelf life of the product and ensures that the contents of the can still develop their full protective effect even after prolonged storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA complete and proven workflow for rim care: First, thoroughly clean with XTREME Rim Cleaner PLUS or FelgenBeast — both chemically dissolve brake dust without mechanically stressing the rim — then seal after complete drying. Anyone who consistently carries out this two-step workflow will find after a few repetitions that the cleaning time per wash decreases and the rims look fresher permanently. Anyone who maintains this rhythm every 4–6 weeks will permanently have rims where brake dust does not permanently bake on and subsequent cleanings are much less effort. The 250 ml can is sufficient for several complete sealing passes on one vehicle — for the rim care of a normal passenger car, this is a very economical format. For businesses that regularly seal several vehicles, it is worth looking into stocking up, as the consumption per vehicle is low and the costs per sealing pass are very manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":49160880030031,"sku":"D1-SNX-02501000","price":11.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Felgen-Schutz-Versiegelung-Versiegelu-7.png?v=1721514333"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-ceramic-reifen-felgendetailer-quick-detailer","title":"XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer Quick Detailer","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCare for Tires and Rims in One Step — with the SONAX XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer do?

Thoroughly clean tires and rims before the first application — baked-on brake dust and stubborn tire dirt must be removed before applying the Detailer. After basic cleaning, spray the Detailer onto the still damp surface and rub it in evenly — the water on the surface helps to distribute the product evenly. Immediately after application, without rinsing, the ceramic active ingredients are active and build up the protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon Technology — how the ceramic formula works on tires and rims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer\u003c\/strong\u003e is based on Si-Carbon Technology — an active ingredient concept that combines ceramic silicon compounds with organic carbon structures. The result is an inorganic-organic hybrid compound that adheres to both material types — rubber (tires) and metal or paint (rims) — and forms a thin, stable protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn rims, the silicon compound embeds itself in the microstructure of the surface. The result is an extremely smooth, hydrophobic layer that causes water to bead off in droplets and prevents dirt from adhering. On polished aluminum rims, this creates an intense high gloss, while on matte or brushed rim surfaces, the matte finish is maintained — the protective layer adapts to the surface appearance instead of changing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn tires, the mechanism works somewhat differently. Rubber is porous and absorbs active ingredients deeper into the surface than metal. The Si-Carbon compound penetrates the outer rubber layer and creates a soft, protective barrier that better repels UV radiation, ozone, and moisture. This is why the Detailer not only visually enhances tires but also extends their lifespan: UV radiation and ozone are the main causes of tire aging and cracking — the protective layer noticeably reduces these influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe matte optical effect on tires is also technically justified: The silicon compound settles evenly on the rubber surface, fills small irregularities, but does not create a glossy film. The result is a uniform, rich black color that corresponds to the new condition — without the artificial high gloss of silicone-containing spray tire dressings that wash off after the first rain and leave streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of up to three months results from the deep action of the Si-Carbon compound. Superficial products such as simple wax sprays are quickly worn away by rain, temperature changes, and brake dust deposits. The ceramic compound is chemically more stable and resists pH-neutral cleaners and normal driving conditions significantly longer — a quality feature that fundamentally distinguishes the Detailer from conventional tire care products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this means: A vehicle owner who washes their car every two weeks treats tires and rims with the Detailer approximately every three to four washes — the protective effect lasts between applications. This is a real gain in convenience compared to products that need to be reapplied after every wash to develop their protective effect. For regularly maintained vehicles, this means significantly less product and time consumption with the same or better level of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Ceramic Detailer correctly — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is compact but requires a clean starting base. Thoroughly clean tires and rims before the first application — either with a high-pressure cleaner and a specialized rim cleaner or as part of a complete car wash. Stubborn brake dust and dried tire dirt film must be removed so that the ceramic active ingredients come into direct contact with the material and are not \"sealed\" on a layer of dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the basic cleaning — either on a still damp or already dry surface — spray the product evenly onto the tires and rims. Apply the product evenly to the area to be treated and rub it in with a clean microfiber cloth or a soft sponge. Do not rinse — the ceramic active ingredients build up their protective layer without a rinsing step. This is the crucial difference from a normal cleaner: the Detailer remains on the surface and works permanently there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneous application to tires and rims is the core of the 2-in-1 concept. First spray onto the tire, then onto the rim, and wipe both areas with the same cloth — this saves time and avoids switching between different products. For a normal car, treating all four wheels takes between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavily soiled rims with baked-on brake dust, pre-cleaning with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-felgenreiniger-plus\"\u003eXTREME Rim Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/a\u003e is recommended before applying the Detailer. The rim cleaner chemically removes deeply embedded brake dust, and the Detailer then protects the clean rim from new deposits. The combination of both products delivers the best results: thorough cleaning, then protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical workflow for the washing weekend: pre-wash the vehicle, spray the rims with the rim cleaner and let it sit while the vehicle is pre-washed. Then rinse, wash the vehicle with shampoo, dry it — and finally apply the Ceramic Detailer evenly to the tires and rims. This process efficiently uses the dwell times of the different products and keeps the overall effort of vehicle care within a realistic framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProtecting tires and rims — what the Detailer achieves in everyday life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most visible effect of the Ceramic Detailer is on the tires: a rich, uniform black color without shiny spots or streaks. New tires look deep black immediately after mounting — over time, they turn brownish-gray due to UV radiation, ozone, and rubber abrasion. The Detailer reverses this process and ensures long-lasting color retention. For older tires with existing brown discoloration, regular treatment means a gradual regaining of the original black — not in one application, but over several treatments. This makes the Detailer also interesting for vehicles with already aged tires that do not yet justify a new purchase but should be visually enhanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the rims, the effect is more subtle but functionally more important. The ceramic protective layer makes the rim surface less susceptible to brake dust accumulation. Brake dust adheres to metal surfaces due to heat and its iron-containing composition — on a ceramic-sealed surface, the adhesion forces are significantly lower. This means: rims get dirty slower, and if brake dust adheres, it is easier to rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor long-term care, the Detailer offers a cumulative effect. Anyone who does a short treatment round every four to six weeks after washing the car accumulates a thicker, more stable protective layer over time than after a single application. The effort per session is minimal — treating all four wheels takes less than fifteen minutes — but the effect adds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother everyday advantage is protection against environmental influences. Brake dust, industrial dust, bird droppings, and acid rain attack unprotected rim surfaces over time. The ceramic protective layer acts as a buffer between these aggressive substances and the rim surface — this extends the lifespan of the rim coating and reduces the risk of paint damage or corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially for vehicles that are regularly driven in the city or on highway sections with high brake dust levels, the protective effect is relevant. City vehicles brake more frequently and accumulate more brake dust per kilometer than vehicles on country roads. The ceramic layer does not reduce the amount of deposited brake dust, but it prevents it from baking into the rim surface — and that is the crucial difference for ease of cleaning in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Detailer in comparison — Quick Detailer vs. Rim Sealant vs. Tire Care Spray\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe market for tire and rim care offers three basic product categories that differ in application effort and protection intensity. Understanding the differences helps in choosing the right product for your own care routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated rim sealants such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-felgenschutzversiegelung-felgen-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Rim Protection Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e offer a more intensive and durable sealant than a quick detailer. They are designed for thorough basic treatment after a complete rim cleaning and last significantly longer than the three months of the Detailer. The difference: the full sealant is a separate step after cleaning, requires careful preparation of the rim surface, and is designed only for the rim — not for the tire. Those looking for maximum, long-term protection for the rim are better off with the full sealant. Those who want to do a quick care round every four weeks that treats tires and rims in one step are more efficient with the Detailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConventional silicone-based tire care sprays create a short-term gloss effect and offer little long-lasting protection. They wash off quickly in the rain and can leave streaks on the road if applied excessively — a safety risk on wet roads. The Ceramic Detailer is a superior alternative: matte appearance instead of artificial gloss, longer durability due to ceramic bonding, and no smearing layer on the road surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the complete care workflow, we recommend: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-sprayversiegelung-spruehversiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Spray Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e for the paint as a supplement after washing, and the Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer for tires and rims. Both products share the Si-Carbon technology principle and are coordinated — a consistent care system for all exposed vehicle surfaces. Those who consistently build up ceramic protection on paint, tires, and rims create a homogeneous level of protection for the entire vehicle — with shorter cleaning times, less effort per wash, and a vehicle that looks significantly cleaner and well-maintained after rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying a Quick Detailer — who benefits from the SONAX XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer is aimed at vehicle owners who value well-maintained tires and rims but want to reduce their care effort to a minimum. The 2-in-1 concept is particularly attractive for drivers who see their vehicle care as part of the regular washing weekend: wash, dry, quickly treat tires and rims — done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with high-quality or sporty rims, the Detailer is a sensible addition to occasional full cleaning. Between intensive basic cleanings with the rim cleaner, the Detailer keeps the rims fresh and brake dust at bay. This extends the intervals between basic cleanings and protects the rim surface through less mechanical cleaning contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor new cars or freshly reconditioned vehicles, the Ceramic Detailer is an ideal introduction to tire and rim care: no complicated reconditioning step, no long curing times, no risk during application. Simply apply and work in briefly after each wash. Protection builds up automatically through regular repetition. Already after the second or third regular application, the difference on the rims is clearly noticeable — brake dust is looser and can be removed with less pressure during the next wash. On the tires, the rich black color lasts longer between washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers and vehicle reconditioners who regularly care for several vehicles, the Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer is an economically attractive product. The combination of tire care and rim care in one product reduces inventory requirements and simplifies the workflow in reconditioning. One product, one application, both areas covered — that saves time and costs without compromising the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: Anyone looking for a simple, effective, and time-saving solution for tire and rim care that does more than a simple tire shine spray is well-equipped with the SONAX XTREME Ceramic Tire+Rim Detailer. The ceramic active principle, the matte tire appearance, and the easy-to-clean effect on rims make it one of the most well-thought-out products in this product category — and all with an effort that can be integrated into normal daily care without creating extra effort. A vehicle whose tires and rims are regularly treated with ceramic protection simply looks better after rain and short city drives than an unmaintained vehicle of the same age. The effort for this difference is small — the result is visible, measurable, and lasts for several months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160885666127,"sku":"D1-SNX-3504000","price":11.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Ceramic-Reifen-FelgenDetailer-Quick-D-8.png?v=1721514259"},{"product_id":"sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger","title":"FelgenBeast Wheel Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eSONAX FelgenBeast lifts brake dust visibly and without attacking the wheel itself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is SONAX FelgenBeast?

The 5-litre canister is meant for multi-car households and pro detailers — 1 litre per set of wheels works out to roughly 20 full washes per container, which drops the price per litre noticeably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with the FelgenBeast is laying it down on wet or hot wheels. Wet wheels dilute the gel by 30 to 50 percent — the dwell time then isn't enough to let the thioglycolate reaction run all the way through. Hot wheels straight after a drive flash the gel dry in seconds, and you end up scrubbing off cleaner residue instead of the brake dust. Wait at least 15 minutes between parking up and cleaning — it's the cheapest quality boost you can hand yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. 3 minutes. A second pass.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle, twist the nozzle open, and lay the cleaner down generously and evenly over the dry, cold wheel from 15 to 20 centimetres away. Start at the bottom and work up, because the gel clings vertically but still runs off after a while, and run marks would flash dry early. Per wheel you're looking at roughly 40 to 60 millilitres — nearer the top end on 17-inch wheels with a complex spoke face, less on plain 15-inch steel wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 60 to 90 seconds the colour change kicks in. Full dwell time sits at 3 minutes, 5 at most — after that the thioglycolate is saturated and won't react any further. A common mix-up day-to-day: leaving the cleaner on for 10 minutes pulls no extra cleaning out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuite the opposite — the gel starts to dry on and leaves cleaner residue that means extra work at the rinse. A short second pass on the still-wet wheel is far more effective than a stretched-out dwell time on the first — that's the single most important hands-on insight, the one the maker doesn't spell out on the back of the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo finish, rinse off with a strong jet of water or the pressure washer, top to bottom, until no reddish film runs off any more. With heavy brake dust on complex spoke patterns, a soft \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/felgenreiniger\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e helps spread the gel between the spokes — not for scrubbing, just to work it in and spread the second coat evenly. In winter, when the ambient temperature drops below 10 °C, stretch the dwell time generously towards the 5-minute mark, because the reaction speed of thioglycolate falls with temperature. Above 25 °C it's the other way round: work quicker and rinse sooner, before the gel dries on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1775901575\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying SONAX FelgenBeast with the colour change on a wheel\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThioglycolate dissolves iron. Bitumen, no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn regular brake dust from road cars the FelgenBeast works very reliably — that's its home turf. The colour change tells you on top of that what kind of dirt you're dealing with: iron particles react reddish-violet, organic soiling like tar, bitumen or oil doesn't shift colour at all. So after three minutes you know whether you've even got the right tool in your hand, or whether you should switch to an APC or a tar remover instead — a diagnostic step no acid-based cleaner gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a second use, the FelgenBeast also works as a fallout remover on paint. After car parks next to railway lines, industrial sites or building works, fine iron particles from brake dust and rail grinding settle on the bonnet, roof and boot — often invisible to the naked eye, but instantly felt as a \"gritty\" drag in the clay bar routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn surfaces like that you spray the FelgenBeast on generously, wait out the colour change and rinse off within 5 minutes. The clear coat stays untouched as long as you don't run past the dwell time and the panel wasn't sitting in direct sun beforehand. In day-to-day Detailing1 work it's the easiest iron decontamination step before a polish, with no extra product on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear limits: baked-on tar and bitumen spots don't react chemically with thioglycolate — for those you need a solvent-based tar remover. And on extremely baked-on brake dust on race brake setups, or after months of neglect, a single pass can hit its limit. If you need material compatibility across every surface, stick with the FelgenBeast and plan for two passes.

Especially those who prepare their entire vehicle on the weekend appreciate this efficiency — the tire shine is the last step before the car rolls back into the driveway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always apply the Black Beast Effect AFTER rim cleaning and car wash, when the tires are clean and completely dry. On damp rubber, the formula spreads unevenly and the shine becomes blotchy. For the best result: Degrease the tire sidewall beforehand with a tire cleaner or APC (All Purpose Cleaner) — this makes the gloss film adhere significantly longer. Keep the spray mist away from the rim by holding a piece of cardboard or paperboard as a shield along the rim edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTire Shine Spray with Silicone Base — How the Black Beast Effect Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect of SONAX Tire Gloss is based on a silicone-containing aerosol formula that forms a uniform film on the tire sidewall when sprayed. Silicone is the crucial active ingredient: It optically fills the microscopically rough surface of the rubber, thus creating the typical deep gloss — similar to a sealant on paint. At the same time, the silicone film forms a hydrophobic barrier that repels water and prevents dirt from settling directly into the rubber. The result is a tire that not only shines but also stays clean longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception: Many people think that silicone oil on tires is harmful or attacks the rubber. The opposite is true — silicone oil is chemically inert to rubber and acts as a plasticizer that maintains the elasticity of the material. In contrast, a solvent-based tire shine without nourishing components would be problematic — it could dry out the rubber. The SONAX formula is explicitly designed to nourish the tire and not just enhance its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike gel-based tire care products like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzgel-ultra-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel\u003c\/a\u003e, the formula is applied as a fine spray mist. This has a decisive advantage: The distribution is automatically even, without the need to rework with an applicator. The downside: A spray naturally offers less control over where the product lands — hence the tip with the cardboard shield on the rim. In addition, product consumption with a spray tends to be higher than with a gel, which is applied specifically and sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe eponymous \"Black Beast Effect\" describes the deep black finish, which clearly differs from a subtle satin look. If you want a high-gloss wet-look that immediately catches the eye and visually enhances your vehicle, this is exactly the desired effect. If you prefer a more subtle matte finish — for example, on an off-road vehicle or a vehicle with an intentionally understated appearance — the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenpfleger-matt-effect-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Care Matt-Effect\u003c\/a\u003e offers the suitable alternative in the SONAX range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying SONAX Tire Gloss Correctly — Step-by-Step to the Perfect Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is deliberately kept simple, but a few details determine the result. Always start with thoroughly cleaned tires. Old tire shine, brake dust, and road grime prevent the fresh formula from adhering evenly. A high-pressure cleaner alone is often not enough — a rim brush and a tire cleaner or APC ensure truly clean sidewalls. If you still feel residue on the tire sidewall after washing — such as sticky spots or a greasy film — the surface is not ready for the tire gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShake the spray can well before use — for at least 15 seconds. The propellant and the silicone formula must mix properly, otherwise you will get an uneven spray pattern with droplet formation. Hold the can at a distance of about 20 centimeters and spray in even, horizontal passes over the entire tire sidewall. Do not spray pointwise — this creates visible spots and runs that are difficult to correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter spraying, let the product sit for five minutes. During this time, the formula penetrates the rubber and the shine develops. After that, the tire is ready — no wiping necessary. An important note: Do not apply the tire gloss to hot surfaces. After a longer drive, you should let the tires cool down first — at least 20 to 30 minutes. On hot rubber, the solvent evaporates too quickly, the formula dries unevenly, and the film becomes blotchy instead of shiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal application temperature is between 10 °C and 30 °C. In winter, it is best to apply it in a garage or on a frost-free day. In mid-summer, you should seek shady conditions and not leave the can in direct sunlight. Important: The spray can itself must not be stored above 50 °C — this applies especially to the summer garage or the shelf above the heater. And another practical tip: Always start with one tire and check the result before spraying all four. This way you can calibrate the spray amount and distance before committing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWeeks of Tire Shine — When the Black Beast Effect Shows Its Full Strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX Tire Gloss Black Beast Effect shows its full strength as a finisher after regular vehicle washing. When paint is polished, rims are cleaned, and windows are streak-free, often only one thing is missing: black tires that complete the overall picture. This is where the spray plays to its strengths — quick, uncomplicated, and with an immediately visible result. Especially with dark vehicles, the contrast between well-maintained paint and dull tires is particularly striking — and it is precisely this contrast that the Black Beast Effect eliminates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is particularly useful for older tires that, despite good tread depth, appear visually faded and gray. UV radiation, ozone, and weather deplete the rubber's natural color over the months — the tire gloss brings the black back and makes the tire look new again. Also, for vehicles with large rims and wide tire sidewalls — such as SUVs, sedans, or sports cars with 19-inch wheels and more — the visual effect is particularly striking because simply more tire surface is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruity berry scent of the Special Edition is a pleasant bonus: Instead of the typical chemical silicone smell that many tire gloss products bring, you smell pleasantly of berries when spraying. In a closed garage, this is a real plus, as the silicone smell can be quite unpleasant and lingers in the air. Not a game-changing feature — but a detail that makes the application noticeably more pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest limitation: For heavily soiled or already cracked tires, tire gloss can significantly improve the appearance, but it cannot repair structural damage. If the rubber already shows deep cracks or the sidewall appears brittle, this is a sign of material fatigue — only a new tire will help here. Tire gloss is care and prevention, not a repair agent. Even with extremely dirty tires on which tar spots or bitumen are still present, you should clean thoroughly beforehand — tire gloss does not cover dirt, but at best seals it under the gloss film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTire Care Comparison — Black Beast Effect vs. XTREME Tire Gloss Spray vs. PROFILINE Wet Look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX offers several tire care products — all with different finishes and application concepts. A comparison is worthwhile because the \"best\" product always depends on your expectations regarding gloss level, durability, and ease of application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Beast Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers the most intense shine in the range: deep black high-gloss that immediately stands out and visually enhances the vehicle. If you want maximum wet-look after washing, which is recognizable even from a distance, this is your product. The aerosol formula makes application extremely fast — four tires in under two minutes is realistic. The downside: You have less control than with a gel, and consumption is slightly higher due to the spray mist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzspray-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the classic all-rounder in the range: Also spray application, but with a slightly more subtle gloss than the Special Edition. The wet look is present, but not as aggressively deep black as with the Black Beast. For regular everyday use, the XTREME spray is the solid choice — less noticeable, but universally applicable and available in various container sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Tire Gloss \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e is aimed at detailers and frequent users: Larger containers, professional efficiency, and a uniform wet-look finish that impresses in commercial use. Anyone who regularly prepares several vehicles — for example, in a detailing workshop or as a mobile detailer — will choose the more economical product here. The quality of the finish is comparable, but the price-performance ratio is better with high throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the SONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Gel — for anyone who wants maximum control over application. The gel is applied to the tire sidewall with an applicator, adheres better, and creates a particularly uniform, controlled shine without spray mist on the rim. The time required per tire is higher — about one minute instead of a few seconds — but the result is for many detailers the most uniform in the entire SONAX tire care range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Tire Gloss — For Whom the Black Beast Effect is Worthwhile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX Tire Gloss Special Edition \"Black Beast Effect\" is ideal for anyone who wants a quick, impressive finish on their tires after a car wash — without an applicator, without rework, without losing time. If you are looking for maximum gloss instead of subtle care and love the high-gloss look, this Special Edition is the right choice. Especially vehicle owners who regularly wash their car and value a well-maintained overall appearance will get their money's worth with this spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spray fits particularly well into the workflow after a complete wash: First, clean the rims with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX WheelBeast\u003c\/a\u003e, then wash and dry the paint — and finally spray on the tire gloss. In less than ten minutes, you have a vehicle that looks well-maintained from roof to tire. The Black Beast Effect and the WheelBeast virtually form a set: First chemically clean the rim, then care for the tire — so you have the wheel as a whole in perfect condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml spray can is sufficient for about eight to ten applications on four tires — depending on how generously you spray and how wide your tire sidewalls are. With an application interval of two to three weeks, you can comfortably get through half a season. If you detail more frequently, care for larger vehicles with wide tires, or simply like to spray a little more generously, you should plan for two cans directly. At a price of €27.58 per liter, the Black Beast Effect is in the mid-range for tire care products — not the cheapest spray on the market, but with a gloss result and durability that justify the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: The Black Beast Effect is the finishing spray for show-quality shine — fast, striking, and with a real nourishing effect for the tire rubber. If you prefer a more subtle look, opt for the Matt-Effect or the classic XTREME spray. But if you want your tires to look like they've just been mounted after washing — then there's no way around the Black Beast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160889991503,"sku":"D1-SNX-434400","price":13.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-reifenglanz-special-edition-black-beast-effect-reifenpflege_500ml.png?v=1721576232"},{"product_id":"carpro-darkside-tyre-rubber-sealant-reifenpflege","title":"\"DarkSide\" Tyre \u0026 Rubber Sealant Tire Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCARPRO DarkSide Tyre \u0026amp; Rubber Sealant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCARPRO DarkSide\u003c\/strong\u003e tire care is a highly concentrated, ready-to-use sealant for tires and rubber.

This tire care product treats tires with a new car-typical, matte satin finish instead of high gloss — ideal for vehicles where excessive tire shine looks unnatural or does not match the overall appearance of the vehicle.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClassic tire care products create an oily, shiny high gloss on the tire rubber, making the tire appear almost painted after application. For some vehicle types — especially sporty vehicles with wider tires or show vehicles — this matches the desired look. However, for the majority of modern production vehicles, high-gloss tire care is unnatural: factory-new tires do not have a glossy, but a matte, satin-like surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\"\u003c\/strong\u003e reproduces exactly this factory look: a well-maintained, black tire surface with rich contrast, which looks like a new tire — without artificial shine. Available in a 500 ml format for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte satin finish for a natural new car look on tires.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formulation of the Matt-Effect tire care product is designed not to create a highlight after application. The result is a deep black, uniform tire without high-gloss shimmer — the look that corresponds to a freshly mounted production tire. For vehicles that are to look natural during handovers, photoshoots, or daily care, this is the preferred tire care look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV protection and moisture protection for long-term tire care.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Matt-Effect tire care product is not limited to appearance: The formulation contains care substances that protect the rubber from UV radiation and dryness. UV radiation and ozone are the main causes of tire aging — the gray discoloration and cracking in the sidewall that becomes visible on neglected tires with increasing age. Regularly applied tire care significantly slows down this aging process and keeps the rubber elastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpray format for quick, even application to the entire tire sidewall.\u003c\/strong\u003e The spray format of the 500 ml container allows for quick, even application to the entire tire sidewall without a sponge or applicator. A uniform spray mist from 20–30 cm distance completely wets the tire surface in one pass. For professional detailing businesses that finish many vehicles daily, the spray format is significantly faster than applying with a sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a perfect Matt-Effect result, clean the tire thoroughly before application and let it dry completely. On a damp tire, the tire care product will spread unevenly and leave stains instead of a uniform matte appearance. After cleaning and drying, spray the product evenly onto the tire sidewall from a distance of 20–30 cm and let it set for 2–3 minutes — do not wipe off. If spray mist gets on the rim or paint, wipe it off immediately with a microfiber cloth before the product dries. For vehicles with very wide tires, use the panel principle: spray each side separately and wait briefly before driving the vehicle away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFormulation of the Matt-Effect tire care product — matting, UV protection, and rubber care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTire Care \"Matt-Effect\"\u003c\/strong\u003e contains a combination of rubber care agents, matting agents, and UV absorbers. The matting agents in the formulation are special particles that, after drying, form a rough, light-scattering microstructure from the care product applied to the tire surface — instead of reflecting light (gloss), it is scattered in all directions (matte). This results in the characteristic satin-matte look, similar to an untreated, factory-shelf tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber care components of the tire care product penetrate the rubber structure and supply the elastomer with care substances that keep the rubber supple. Dry, brittle rubber shows cracking in the sidewall under stress and prematurely loses its elastic properties. Regularly maintained tire sidewalls remain flexible longer, show less gray haze, and even older tires look fresh and new. The Matt-Effect is most effective on high-quality, dark tires — with very inexpensive tires with lighter rubber compounds, the result may be less deep black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently underestimated difference between cheap tire care products and high-quality formulations is their behavior in wet conditions: Inexpensive oil-based tire care products are quickly washed off the tire surface by rain, leaving oil streaks on brake calipers and pads, which can temporarily impair braking performance. The XTREME formulation is designed for stable adhesion to the rubber, which lasts significantly longer in normal rain than oil-based alternative products. The matte look also largely remains after a rain shower if the product has fully absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV protection of the tire care product is particularly relevant for vehicles that are frequently parked outdoors. UV radiation breaks down the polymer chains of the rubber and causes ozone cracking on the sidewall — one of the most common causes of prematurely worn-out tires that still have plenty of tread. Regularly applied tire care forms a UV-absorbing protective layer that shields the tire surface from direct UV exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication of the Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" — Preparation, Application, and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of the Matt-Effect tire care product is divided into a few steps: clean the tires, dry them, spray them on, and let them absorb. The cleaning step is crucial: Old tire care residues, wax, and grease stains on the tire sidewall prevent the new care product from absorbing evenly. A simple wheel cleaner or all-purpose cleaner is sufficient for pre-treatment; for heavy oil or wax residues, a degreaser is recommended before applying the care product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning and complete drying, spray the product evenly onto the tire sidewall. Make sure that the transition from the sidewall to the tread is also evenly wetted — dirt often accumulates there, which disturbs the appearance. After spraying, let it absorb for 3–5 minutes. During this time, the care product penetrates the rubber, and the matting agents form the desired surface structure. The vehicle should not be moved during this time — otherwise, still-wet product residues will spread to the brake calipers and rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who regularly treat their tires with tire care will benefit in the long term from significantly less tire care effort: Maintained rubber absorbs cleaners better than dried, roughened rubber, and the matte look lasts longer on a maintained tire than on a neglected one. A monthly short care session takes only a few minutes and keeps the tire in good condition permanently — significantly less effort than periodic intensive care of neglected tires. Vehicle owners who establish this rhythm will have consistently fresh-looking tires with minimal time expenditure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of the Matt-Effect tire care product on the tire depends on the weather conditions: In normal road use, the matte look lasts one to two weeks before it fades due to rain, dust, and tire abrasion, and re-application is advisable. For vehicles in show or exhibition use without normal road use, the appearance remains significantly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for the Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" — Handovers, Photography, and Showroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Matt-Effect tire care product is the ideal product for vehicle handovers at dealerships: A vehicle handed over with well-maintained tires in a natural new car look makes a stronger impression on the customer than a vehicle with overly shiny tire sidewalls. The matte, rich black tone of the tires emphasizes the attention given to the vehicle during detailing — without signaling over-treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles in storage, tire care is particularly important: Tires that sit over winter or for several months dry out and develop weathering cracks in the sidewall. Applied tire care keeps the rubber moist during the downtime and prevents premature drying out. Those who winterize their vehicle should clean the tires beforehand and treat them with tire care — this protects the rubber throughout the storage period and ensures that the tires are still in good condition in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicle photography for listings or dealer websites, the Matt-Effect look is clearly superior to high-gloss tire care products: High-gloss tires reflect flash and daylight cones, which leads to unsightly reflections on the tire sidewall in photos. Matte tires absorb light evenly and appear neutral deep black in photos — they emphasize the vehicle's silhouette without becoming the focal point themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" in comparison — Matte versus Gloss\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX tire care range, two optical philosophies stand opposite each other: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Tire Gloss \"Wet-Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e for maximum high gloss and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzspray-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet-Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e as a consumer alternative for maximum high gloss, and the XTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" for the natural new car look. Both product lines care for the rubber and protect against UV — the difference lies exclusively in the optical effect after application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother comparison point for professional businesses: Consumer-format tire care products (500 ml spray can) are well suited for single-vehicle use, but for businesses with high vehicle throughput, larger containers are more economical. For businesses that regularly finish many vehicles with tire care, a combination of the consumer spray can format for individual customer vehicles and a concentrate tire care product for batch use on several vehicles simultaneously is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between matte and gloss is a matter of style, which is based on the vehicle type and customer preference. Sports car enthusiasts often appreciate the wet-look gloss, which emphasizes that the tires have been freshly cared for. Vehicle owners who prefer an inconspicuous, professional detailing choose the Matt-Effect. For dealer presentations and handovers, the Matt-Effect is usually the more professional choice, as it results in a more natural overall appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy SONAX XTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" — Use and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml format is sufficient for a vehicle inventory of 5–10 vehicles per month with regular use. Approximately 15–25 ml are needed per vehicle for complete treatment of all four tires — depending on the tire size. Small car tires (175\/65 R15) require less than SUV tires (255\/55 R19). The spray format is optimal for quick single-vehicle treatment; those who work on many vehicles simultaneously can transfer the product into a pressure pump or foam sprayer for even faster application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA tip for businesses that finish many vehicles simultaneously: First clean all tires, then spray all vehicles in sequence with the tire care product, and only then deliver them. This way, each vehicle has the full absorption time without individual vehicles having to wait. This batch treatment is more efficient than the vehicle-by-vehicle approach and ensures that no vehicle goes on the road with tire care that has not yet fully absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a verified SONAX dealer at Detailing1, the XTREME Tire Care \"Matt-Effect\" is available in the assortment.

Pre-rinse the rim, spray or apply the cleaner, let it sit for 2–5 minutes — do not let it dry — and then rinse thoroughly. For heavily baked-on residues, combine the dwell step with a soft wheel brush, which mechanically dislodges the loosened residues from depressions and hubs. On unanodized aluminum surfaces, control the dwell time — too long contact can dull the aluminum. After acidic cleaning, we recommend a rinse with clear water and, if necessary, a final treatment with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e as a maintenance product for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAcid chemistry in wheel cleaner — how Red Max dissolves mineral deposits and brake dust\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active principle of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner Red Max\u003c\/strong\u003e is based on a combined acidic and surfactant-active formula: The acidic component attacks mineral compounds by dissolving the crystalline structure of limescale and oxide deposits — calcium and magnesium carbonate (limescale) react with the acid and are converted into water-soluble salts that can be easily removed when rinsed. Aluminum oxide deposits (corrosion products on aluminum rims) are also loosened by the acid reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrake dust iron particles are chemically iron oxide (rust) or metallic iron that has burned into the surface structure of the rim. Acids dissolve iron compounds through a different reaction: metallic iron and iron oxides react with strong acids, releasing iron salts that are water-soluble and are removed during rinsing. The combined action of acid and surfactants ensures that the fatty phase of the brake dust residue (brake caliper oil, road grime) is simultaneously loosened and lifted from the surface — a purely acidic formula without surfactants would only dissolve the mineral component and not remove organic contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Red Max\" designation indicates the maximum concentration within the PROFILINE wheel cleaner product line: Compared to the regular \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e (which is positioned as a milder maintenance solution), Red Max is developed for situations where normal cleaners are overwhelmed — heavily soiled rims after long cleaning intervals, vehicles with mineral-rich water residues, or commercial tire service businesses that clean many rims per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation is designed for use on aluminum and steel rims. Aluminum tolerates acids well in controlled concentrations and with limited dwell time — excessively long dwell times can excessively degrade the natural oxide protective layer of aluminum, leading to dulling or an uneven surface. This effect is more pronounced on smooth, unpainted rims than on powder-coated or painted rims, which are protected by the coating. For professional use, this means: control the dwell time, do not let it dry, rinse completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Wheel Cleaner Red Max correctly — dosage, dwell time, and safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of acidic professional wheel cleaner requires some preparation and care to achieve optimal results and avoid material damage. Step 1 — Preparation: Drive the vehicle into an area where the rims are not exposed to direct sunlight. Pre-rinse the rims with clear water to remove loose dirt and particles that could otherwise act as abrasive scratch agents during the cleaning process. Check rim temperature: The rims must be cool (below 40 °C), which is often a problem with freshly driven vehicles — hot rims cause the cleaner to dry too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 2 — Application: Apply Red Max evenly to all rim surfaces with a spray bottle — tread, spokes, hub center, and rim well. For 5-liter containers, a separate spray bottle filled from the container is recommended to ensure controlled dosing. The dwell time is typically 2–5 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination. During the dwell time, the cleaner should remain visibly wet — if it dries, rinse immediately, as dried acid cleaner is harder to rinse off and can attack the rim surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 3 — Mechanical support and rinsing: For heavily baked-on brake dust or solidified limescale deposits, use a soft wheel brush to mechanically dislodge the loosened residues in depressions, screw holes, and between spokes. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water — complete removal of all acid residues is important, as even small amounts of acid can cause corrosion or dulling on aluminum with prolonged exposure. For highly acidic wastewater, observe local wastewater regulations — professional car washes have neutralization facilities for acidic wastewater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonal Protective Equipment: When working with concentrated acidic wheel cleaner, protective gloves and, for intensive use, safety glasses are recommended. This applies particularly to the 25-liter and 200-liter containers, where larger quantities are handled. For cleaning machines and water systems, compatibility with the respective system material must be checked before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for Red Max — rim types and contamination levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner Red Max\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable for a wide range of rim types and contamination scenarios. Aluminum rims (cast and forged), whether painted, polished, or powder-coated, respond well to acidic cleaning — however, the dwell time should be limited to a maximum of 3 minutes for polished or untreated aluminum rims (bare aluminum) to avoid the risk of dulling polished surfaces. Powder-coated and painted rims tolerate the acidic formula well, as the protective layer isolates the aluminum from direct acid contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel rims (winter rims, commercial vehicle rims) can also be cleaned with Red Max — here, the acidic formula is less critical, as steel is less reactive to acids than aluminum. For steel rims with rust on the inner surface, Red Max loosens superficial rust, which becomes visually apparent (orange residues when rinsing). For the outer surface of chrome rims, we recommend limiting the dwell time to 1–2 minutes and rinsing particularly thoroughly, as chrome can become dull with prolonged acid exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn commercial use, Red Max is particularly efficient for car washes, tire service businesses, and fleet maintenance operations that clean many vehicles daily. The large container availability (25 liters and 200 liters) allows for full integration into existing cleaning processes. A common application is the cleaning of transporter fleets and truck wheels, which are heavily contaminated with brake dust due to heavy braking systems and have long cleaning intervals. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX WheelBeast\u003c\/a\u003e offers, as a supplementary option, a color-changing formula that changes color when iron particles react — for businesses that appreciate visual feedback of the cleaning effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Max in product comparison — acidic cleaning vs. universal wheel cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX wheel cleaner range includes various products for different requirements. The regular \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is designed as a milder, versatile maintenance solution for regular use on normal rim contamination — lower pH value, gentler on sensitive rim surfaces, suitable as a weekly cleaner. Red Max, on the other hand, is positioned for intensive use on heavy contamination or after long cleaning intervals: more cleaning power, shorter processing time for heavy brake dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to non-acidic, purely alkaline wheel cleaners, Red Max shows a superior effect on mineral deposits (limescale, oxides) — alkaline cleaners are good for organic contamination (oils, greases, silicones), but regularly fail on limescale deposits and baked-on iron oxide brake dust. Conversely, acidic cleaners are less effective against oil and grease contamination, which are more efficiently dissolved with a surfactant-based alkaline formula. Red Max combines acid and surfactant technology to address both types of contamination simultaneously — making it an all-rounder for heavily soiled rims that have both mineral and organic residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to do-it-yourself solutions (diluted citric acid, household sanitary cleaners), Red Max offers a clear advantage as a professional product: The formulation is optimized for vehicle rims, contains the correct surfactants for brake dust dissolution, and the concentration is set to be effective without damaging rim material with short dwell times. Household sanitary cleaners often contain overly aggressive acids or incorrect surfactants for rim use and can cause permanent damage to rim coatings or aluminum material if used incorrectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner Red Max — containers and application recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner Red Max\u003c\/strong\u003e is exclusively available in professional bulk containers: 5 liters for smaller businesses and frequent individual users, 25 liters for medium-sized detailing shops and car washes, and 200 liters for industrial customers and large fleet maintenance operations. The price staggering by container size is significant — the 200-liter container offers a significantly lower price per liter compared to the 5-liter container, making Red Max particularly economical for high-volume businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor small to medium-sized detailing shops that detail 5–20 vehicles daily, the 5-liter container is the ideal starting point: It can be used directly as working volume, and the demand can be easily calculated before deciding on the 25-liter container. Per set of rims, typically 20–50 ml are required, depending on the degree of contamination and rim size — the 5-liter container is therefore sufficient for 100–250 vehicle detailings, making inventory management manageable even for smaller businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Red Max is the right product for all wheel cleaning tasks where mild wheel cleaners are insufficient: heavily baked-on brake dust after long cleaning intervals, hard-limescale-related mineral deposits, and commercial cleaning requirements with high throughput. For businesses looking for a complete wheel care concept, we recommend combining Red Max for intensive basic cleaning and the regular PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner or SONAX WheelBeast for ongoing maintenance — a two-pronged approach that optimizes both cleaning quality and cost-effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53519620669775,"sku":"D1-SNX-2315050","price":54.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 liters","offer_id":53519620735311,"sku":"D1-SNX-2317050","price":314.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":53519620800847,"sku":"D1-SNX-2319050","price":1588.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-red-max-felgenreiniger_5-liter.png?v=1730643342"},{"product_id":"meguiars-ultimate-all-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger","title":"Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner Wheel Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVisibly Dissolve Brake Dust: Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the best wheel cleaner for brake dust?

It is best to apply after a tire cleaning or after washing the vehicle. Apply the Tire Coating directly to a foam or microfiber applicator and massage it evenly into the tire sidewall – the side tread remains untreated. The product absorbs quickly; after approx. 5–10 minutes of dwell time, excess product can be dabbed off with a cloth. Do not spray, but always apply via the applicator – this prevents product from getting onto the brake disc or rim. Immediately after application, drive slowly for a short time to evenly distribute any excess product and avoid splashes on the wheel arches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUltimate Insane Shine Tire Coating vs. Tire Foam vs. Tire Spray\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's offers three formats in the Insane Shine range: Coating (this product), Foam, and Spray.

Unlike watery tire products, which fade after the first rain, the coating result remains significantly longer due to the stronger bond to the rubber surface. In practice, the shine lasts two to six weeks, depending on mileage, weather conditions, and surface contamination. The result is a natural-looking, deep shine without streaks or the greasy appearance of cheaper silicone products. At the same time, the polymer protective layer protects the rubber from UV oxidation, which long-term leads to cracking and graying.

If you look closely at the area around the wheel, you quickly realize how much dirt accumulates between washing intervals: baked-on road grime on the tire sidewall, brake dust crusts on the bumper cutouts, faded wheel arches, and gray sill trims. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed as a combi-cleaner specifically for this zone: a single product for tires and exterior plastics that can be used without special tools and without reconfiguring your cleaning workflow.

A tire brush with medium-hard bristles removes baked-on dirt from the tire structure much more effectively than brushing alone without chemicals. After treatment, rinse thoroughly with water — only then is the tire ready for a tire dressing or tire shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning chemicals for tires and plastic — how the combined formula works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany cleaning products for the automotive sector are optimized for a single material or material group — this makes them very good in their specific area of application, but also requires an extensive range of different products. The combi-cleaner approach is a conscious counter-strategy: fewer products, but broad compatibility, without sacrificing effectiveness. SONAX has consistently implemented this approach for the wheel area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTires and exterior plastics appear to be very similar materials at first glance — both are black, both are polymer-based. Chemically, however, they differ considerably: tire rubber is a vulcanized elastomer designed for mechanical stress and temperature changes. Exterior plastics such as bumpers, sills, and wheel arches, on the other hand, are usually made of PP (polypropylene), ABS, or similar thermoplastics. Both materials react differently to cleaning chemicals: rubber is sensitive to solvents that can soften the elastomer and make it brittle in the long term. Plastics are sensitive to strong alkaline cleaners that can dull the surface or attack the pigmentation. This is a classic challenge in cleaning chemistry: the formula must work for two different materials simultaneously without compromising. SONAX has relied on a mild alkaline surfactant base that is not problematic for either rubber or standard exterior plastics. The cleaner thus combines two material requirements in one formulation without sacrificing cleaning performance. For users who like to understand what they are using: The pH value is in the slightly alkaline range between 8 and 9 — strong enough to dissolve grease, but far from the aggressive pH values that would damage rubber and plastics. Organic contaminants such as road grease, insect residues, and soil dirt are dissolved without penetrating the material structure. After rinsing, the cleaner leaves a clean, dirt-free surface without residues — this is the basis for any subsequent care measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage of the formulation is the foam formation during application: the product foams slightly on the tire, which visually shows where the product is active — and at the same time extends the contact time before the cleaner can run off. This foam ensures good surface contact even on inclined or vertical flanks. For tire lettering, white tire letters, or colored sidewall accents, the contact time should be limited so that the lettering is not attacked by excessively long exposure.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important practical note: the Tire + Plastic Cleaner is not a degreaser in the true sense of the word. If tires are encased with old tire shine products or exterior plastics have been treated with heavier waxes or silicone polishes, a single pass with the cleaner may not be sufficient. In these cases, a second pass or, in the case of very heavy encapsulation, even targeted use of a light degreaser may be necessary. For normal road dirt without pre-treatment, however, the cleaner is completely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning tires and exterior plastics — the right workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good workflow begins with the right order. If you wash the body first and then clean the tires, you risk bringing splashes and dirty water onto freshly washed surfaces. The rule of thumb is: tires and wheel area first, body afterwards. This principle generally applies to detailing and pays off with cleaner results and less rework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best result, we recommend the following procedure: Always start cleaning the wheels before washing the body. This prevents dirt splashed or stirred up during tire cleaning from getting onto already washed paint surfaces. Park the vehicle on a level surface and spray the XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner generously onto the tire sidewall and the adjacent exterior plastics. Let the product work for a short time — 60 seconds are sufficient for fresh dirt, two to three minutes are ideal for dried-on dirt. Then use a tire brush to work on the sidewalls to mechanically loosen the dirt. For exterior plastics, a microfiber cloth or a soft brush is sufficient. Afterwards, rinse everything carefully with water, preferably with a high-pressure cleaner, to completely remove cleaning agent residues. Only after this rinsing will you see the actual cleaning result — wet dirt can be visually deceptive. If spots remain, reapply and work on them specifically. Then you are ready for the next step: applying tire dressing or tire shine to seal the result and protect the rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you use a high-pressure cleaner, you should maintain a sufficient distance from the tire — too close a jet can damage the tire surface or the tire bead in the long term. A distance of approx. 20–30 cm and a wide spray pattern are ideal for rinsing off tire cleaner. The cleaner itself does not foam enough to leave extensive foam residues — rinsing is therefore relatively quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with a tow bar, plastic underride protection, or wheel arch liners that are heavily coated with road grime and underbody protection residues, increased contact time and mechanical treatment with a brush may be necessary. In such cases, a second application without intermediate rinsing is recommended — this keeps the cleaning chemistry active longer and also loosens more stubborn deposits.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen using on very light or beige exterior plastics — which are used as a design feature on some vehicles — we recommend testing the product first in an inconspicuous area. Although the formula is approved for standard exterior plastics, specific plastic alloys or surface coatings may react differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application — what the Tire + Plastic Cleaner cleans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product range of the Tire + Plastic Cleaner includes: all types of tire sidewalls (summer tires, winter tires, all-season tires), exterior bumpers, wheel arch liners, sills, side sills, door sill trims (exterior), underbody panels and wheel arch liners made of plastic, as well as mirror and spoiler trims. Trailer tires, transporter wheels, and motorcycle tires can also be cleaned with the product, provided that the product is completely rinsed off after treatment and no residue remains on the tread. For vehicles with so-called \"run-flat\" tires or reinforced low-profile tires, the same application rules apply as for normal tires — the tire technology does not affect compatibility with the cleaner. The cleaner is not suitable for interior plastics (the car interior cleaner is used here), for painted surfaces, or for rubber seals in the interior. A gentler cleaner should also be preferred for cleaning slide rails or painted add-on parts (such as colored exterior mirror housings), as the product is optimized for untreated raw plastics and tire rubber. The use of the cleaner is also not recommended for vehicles with chrome strips or chrome bumpers — there are specific metal polishes and cleaners for these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn application area that is often forgotten: cleaning motorcycle tires and scooter tires. Here too, the cleaner is well suited for the flanks, provided it is completely rinsed off before the motorcycle is used. Residues of the cleaner on the tread could affect grip, which is why thorough rinsing after treatment is indispensable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor subsequent care after basic cleaning: A clean tire is the basis for applying a tire shine really evenly. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzgel-ultra-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eXTREME Tire Gloss Gel \"Ultra Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-reifenglanzspray-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eXTREME Tire Gloss Spray \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e adhere much better and last longer on a clean, residue-free surface than on a tire with old care product layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComparison — XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner vs. specialized solutions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who regularly cleans tires will eventually ask themselves: Do I really need a combi-cleaner, or should I rather rely on separate specialized products? The answer depends on the demands and the intensity of the contamination. For normal road dirt and regular maintenance, the combi-cleaner is absolutely sufficient and efficient — one product, one application, good result. Anyone who professionally details vehicles and relies on the highest level of cleanliness before sealing may opt for a two-stage solution: first a specialized tire cleaner for the flanks, then a plastic active cleaner for the trim. This effort is particularly worthwhile if extensive protective measures such as coating applications or premium tire sealants are planned afterwards. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-reifen-felgendetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Tire + Rim Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e, for example, offers a more advanced approach to tire and rim care in one care step. For everyday use and for anyone who wants a straightforward, all-round clean wheel result, the XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner remains the most effective choice: no product change, no time loss, reliable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother aspect in comparison to universal cleaners from the supermarket: products developed for household purposes often contain fragrances or excipients that can have harmful long-term effects on exterior plastics and rubber. Products developed specifically for the automotive sector are tailored to these materials and take into account the special requirements of outdoor use, UV exposure, and mechanical stress. This difference is more important than it appears at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePurchase recommendation — who benefits most from this combi-cleaner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the price-performance ratio: The 750 ml bottle is in the lower to middle price segment for vehicle cleaners. With an average consumption of about 15–20 ml per wheel, the bottle is sufficient for dozens of complete vehicle cleanings. This makes the cost per application very low — a fair trade for a reliable, clean-cleaning product that also saves time. Anyone who buys the product before the season and uses it regularly benefits from one of the cheapest cost profiles in the detailing sector over the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who is still unsure whether this cleaner is suitable for their vehicle or application: It is suitable for all cars, SUVs, vans, and trailers with standard exterior plastics and rubber tires. For special coatings, chemically treated high-performance tires, or sports tires with unusual sidewall constructions, the manufacturer should be consulted in case of doubt. For the average vehicle fleet in everyday use, the cleaner can be used without restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner is the first choice for vehicle owners who regularly clean their inner wheel area and do not want to resort to several specialized products. The 750 ml bottle is generously sized and, with normal dosage, is sufficient for many applications — a complete vehicle with four tires and the adjacent plastics requires only a few milliliters per wheel per cleaning. For fleet operators, rental car companies, or detailing businesses that clean many vehicles daily, it is worth taking a look at the PROFILINE line for large-scale professional cleaning. For everything in between — the dedicated private detailer, the small detailing business, or the workshop with occasional cleaning tasks — the XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner is the right choice: inexpensive, effective, universally applicable in the wheel area. As a supplement to the all-round product, it is worth buying a good tire brush, as mechanical support significantly improves the chemical result. If you also want to care for the tires after cleaning, SONAX's tire shine range offers many suitable options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA word on storage: The product is sensitive to frost and should not be stored at temperatures below 0°C. In winter, it should therefore be stored indoors. The shelf life with proper storage — cool, dry, protected from light — is usually several years. This makes the cleaner a sensible stock even with infrequent use, as it is not subject to rapid deterioration. For businesses that use the cleaner daily, consumption quantities are naturally higher — here, it is worth researching bulk containers from specialist retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: Anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use cleaner for the wheel area that cleans tires and exterior plastics equally well is well served with the XTREME Tire + Plastic Cleaner. As a pre-cleaner before applying tire shine or as a standard product for monthly vehicle care — the product does its job without fuss and delivers consistently good results. No frills, no superfluous features, just reliable cleaning in the wheel area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":53706182787407,"sku":"D1-SNX-269400","price":11.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-xtreme-reifenkunststoffreiniger-reifenreiniger-kunststoffeiniger_750ml-2694000.png?v=1732195630"},{"product_id":"meguiars-hybrid-ceramic-tire-shine-reifenpflege","title":"Hybrid Ceramic Tire Shine Tire Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTires with High Gloss and SiO2 Protection: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Tire Shine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes a good tire care product?

Dr. Wack uses a highly active surfactant system with a special complexing agent based on \u003ci\u003esodium mercaptoacetate\u003c\/i\u003e. This molecule specifically reacts with metallic brake dust (mainly iron oxides) and dissolves it without attacking sensitive metals or paints. The color change – from transparent to violet – indicates the active cleaning phase. Thanks to the gel structure, the cleaner also adheres to vertical surfaces, which significantly increases contact time and cleaning effect. The high viscosity ensures that brake dust in deep pores is also dissolved before it is completely removed during rinsing. The result: uniformly clean rims with original shine – without scrubbing or micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and practical tips for perfect results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eApplying the \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eP21S POWER GEL Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is simple, but as with professional detailing, it should be done carefully. Spray the product evenly onto the dry, cooled rim. Due to the gel adhesion, a thin film immediately forms, which also adheres to hard-to-reach areas – between spokes, in the rim bed, or behind the screws. After about 3–5 minutes of exposure time, the cleaner turns dark red to violet: This is the sign that brake dust and metal particles are actively being dissolved. Then simply rinse with a strong stream of water or a high-pressure cleaner. For a perfect finish on heavily neglected rims, you can gently assist with a soft wheel brush. Important: do not let it dry and do not use in direct sunlight. Since the cleaner is absolutely acid-free, the risk of corrosion or dull spots is zero – even on polished aluminum rims or delicate multi-piece rims. It is also TPMS-compatible and biodegradable, making it safe for daily use. After cleaning, a rim sealant is recommended to prevent new dirt from adhering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, durability and areas of application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIn practice, the \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eP21S POWER GEL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e impresses with an extremely clean, even finish without residues.

Particularly sporty vehicles or cars with open brake systems benefit from the strong, yet gentle cleaning. The gel-like formulation makes the product very economical, as less cleaner runs off the rim. Due to its pH-neutral action, the POWER GEL does not attack paints, plastic parts or valves and can be used regularly.
