AWX – Acid Wheel Cleaner is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

By combining powerful acid ingredients with a proprietary high-adhesion surfactant system, AWX clings to the wheel surface rather than sheeting away immediately. This extended surface contact allows the acid to work more effectively at lower overall exposure, breaking down heavy brake dust, metallic contamination, and embedded organic grime with greater control and consistency.
The advanced surfactant package encapsulates loosened contamination during the cleaning process, resulting in a cleaner, easier rinse and significantly reduced residue compared to traditional acids. The result is faster cleaning, improved safety, and dramatically reduced risk when used as directed.
AWX was built to be versatile by design. It's capable of everything from severe neglect correction to routine maintenance by simple dilution adjustments. Unlike legacy acids, users will immediately notice the absence of a harsh acid odor, achieved through modern chemical balancing rather than masking fragrances.

The AWX gallon size is designed for professional shops and serious enthusiasts who demand maximum performance with flexible strength control.

For best results, always use AWX on cool wheel surfaces only. Do not apply to hot or warm wheels.
This is acid cleaning, evolved.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can AWX be diluted?

Yes. AWX is designed to handle a wide range of cleaning scenarios through dilution:

Full Strength: Heavy contamination and neglected wheels
1:1: Medium brake dust and buildup
3:1: Light cleaning and maintenance

This allows users to tailor the cleaning strength to the wheel's condition rather than using a harsh, fixed-strength acid every time.

2. Is AWX safe to use on wheels?

When used as directed, AWX is designed to be significantly more controlled and predictable than traditional acid wheel cleaners. Proper dilution, correct dwell time, and use on cool wheel surfaces only are critical. Always test in an inconspicuous area and follow standard acid-handling best practices.

3. What makes AWX different from traditional acid wheel cleaners?

AWX is formulated with strong acid ingredients combined with a proprietary surfactant system that allows the product to cling to the wheel surface longer instead of immediately running off. This controlled dwell time improves cleaning efficiency while reducing the risks commonly associated with traditional acids that rely on rapid runoff and uncontrolled exposure.

4. Does AWX have a strong acid smell?

No. One of the most noticeable differences with AWX is the lack of a harsh traditional acid odor. Through modern chemistry and surfactant balancing, the aggressive acid smell commonly associated with wheel acids has been significantly reduced, it has a pleasant fresh laundry scent.

5. Can AWX be used on hot wheels?

No. AWX must only be used on cool wheel surfaces. Do not apply to hot or warm wheels. Using acid-based cleaners on heated surfaces can increase the risk of staining or damage and reduce cleaning control.
