TKX — Acid-Based Wheel Cleaner

TKX is D-TAIL LAB’s acid-based wheel cleaner engineered for deep removal of stubborn contamination—especially baked-on brake dust—on painted alloy, magnesium, and steel wheels. Built for pros who need maximum bite and time savings on neglected rims.

What TKX Does

Rapidly breaks down mineral-bound grime and heavy metallic deposits so they rinse away more easily, restoring clarity and brightness to tired wheel faces and barrels.

Why You Need TKX

  • Heavy-duty performance for baked-on brake dust and stubborn fallout.
  • Targeted for wheels — best suited to painted alloy, magnesium, and steel.
  • Strongly acidic (≈ pH 1–2) for fast action when gentler chemistry won’t cut it.
  • Pro workflow tip — try an acid-free wheel cleaner (e.g., ORION) and an iron remover (PURGE) first; step up to TKX only if needed.

Where to Use It

  • Painted/clear-coated alloy wheels; magnesium and steel wheels (as specified)
  • Wheel faces, barrels, and behind spokes
  • Avoid bare/uncoated aluminum, raw magnesium, delicate anodized finishes, and carbon-ceramic components (always spot test).

Directions

  1. Work on cool wheels in shade. Do not use on hot surfaces or in direct sun.
  2. Pre-rinse to remove loose grit. Wear gloves and eye protection.
  3. Spray TKX evenly on the wheel (face & barrel). Allow a short dwell: 15–45 seconds while monitoring. Do not let dry.
  4. Agitate with appropriate wheel brushes as needed, then rinse thoroughly with strong water pressure.
  5. Repeat only on the most stubborn areas. Neutralize and wash the wheel with a pH-neutral shampoo afterward.
Pro Tip: Save TKX for the worst buildup. For routine cleaning, use an acid-free wheel cleaner to preserve delicate finishes; reserve TKX as your “last resort” for rapid turnaround on heavily neglected rims.

Safety & Care

  • Professional use only. Use PPE (gloves, goggles) and ensure ventilation.
  • Never allow product to dry; re-mist and rinse if flashing occurs.
  • Rinse brakes and tires thoroughly; avoid carbon-ceramic discs and sensitive finishes.
