Motomuck Wheelmuck+ Brake Dust Wheel Cleaner – 750ml

 

Brake dust building up on your wheels? Let Wheelmuck+ do the hard work.

 

Motomuck Wheelmuck+ is a New Zealand-made, pH-neutral wheel cleaner specially formulated to remove stubborn iron contamination and brake dust from your wheels.

Unlike traditional wheel cleaners, Wheelmuck+ uses a colour-changing formula that reacts with iron particles in brake dust, changing from yellow to red and purple as it works.

Its specially developed viscosity allows a fine, even application, helping you get more wheel washes from each bottle without wasting product.

Designed for easy cleaning with minimal scrubbing, Wheelmuck+ is ideal for keeping the wheels on your daily driver, performance car, race car or weekend project looking their best.

How to Use

Step 1: Apply

Adjust the trigger nozzle to produce a fine mist. Spray Wheelmuck+ evenly onto cool, dry wheels.

For best results, clean one or two wheels at a time.

Step 2: Allow to React

Leave the cleaner on the wheel for approximately 2–3 minutes.

As Wheelmuck+ reacts with iron contamination from brake dust, the formula changes colour from yellow to red and purple.

If any areas begin drying or turning brown, lightly reapply the cleaner before rinsing.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the wheel thoroughly using a strong jet of water from a hose or pressure washer.

For stubborn brake dust, ceramic brake pad deposits, grease or tyre dressing residue, lightly agitate with a soft wheel brush and rinse again.

Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the wheel.

Understanding the Colour Change

Wheelmuck+ uses a colour-changing formula to show its reaction with iron contamination from brake dust.

Yellow: The original colour when first applied. Little or no colour change may indicate minimal iron contamination or brake dust from ceramic brake pads.

Red: The formula has started reacting with iron particles.

Purple: The reaction is progressing and brake dust contamination is being loosened.

Dark Purple: The reaction is well underway and the cleaner should be rinsed off before it begins drying.

Brown: The reaction may be reversing as the product dries. Reapply a small amount to the affected area before rinsing.

Important: Not all brake dust will cause a strong colour change. Ceramic brake pad dust, grease, dirt and tyre dressing residue may require gentle agitation with a soft brush.

Suitable Applications

Motomuck Wheelmuck+ is designed primarily for removing iron contamination and brake dust from vehicle wheels.

Suitable Applications

  • Alloy wheels in good condition

  • Painted and clear-coated wheels

  • Performance and motorsport vehicle wheels

  • Everyday passenger vehicles and utes

  • Compatible painted vehicle body panels requiring iron decontamination

  • Compatible Plasti Dip-coated wheels, subject to testing

For Best Results

Use Wheelmuck+ specifically for brake dust and iron contamination.

For wheels heavily covered in mud, oil or general off-road grime, use a suitable automotive cleaner first to remove surface dirt before treating remaining brake dust.

Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying to an unfamiliar surface or coating.
