Best wheel cleaner
When it comes to cleaning matte black AMG wheels, contact-free methods are the safest way to preserve the finish. In this test, we used Optix Nano Iron Remover to demonstrate how effective a true touchless wheel decontamination process can be—even on performance vehicles that generate heavy brake dust.
Why Touchless Matters for Matte Wheels
Matte finishes are far less forgiving than gloss surfaces. Any unnecessary contact increases the risk of marring, burnishing, or uneven sheen. A touchless approach helps:
-
Minimize swirl marks and surface damage
-
Maintain the original matte appearance
-
Safely remove contamination without agitation
Iron fallout from brake dust embeds itself into wheel surfaces over time, making chemical decontamination essential.
The Process: Iron Removal Without Contact
For this demonstration, no brushes or wash media were used. The process was simple and controlled:
-
Apply Optix Nano Iron Remover directly to the dry wheel or wet
-
Allow a 30-second dwell time as the product reacts with iron particles
-
Observe the chemical reaction as embedded contamination breaks down
-
Rinse thoroughly using a strong pressure cleaner
This method allows iron contamination and road grime to be safely lifted and removed without physical contact.
The Results
After rinsing, the matte black AMG wheel was left clean and uniform, with no streaking or glossing of the surface. The iron remover effectively dissolved brake dust build-up while maintaining the integrity of the matte finish.
Final Thoughts
Touchless decontamination is an excellent solution for high-end wheels and delicate finishes. Optix Nano Iron Remover delivers professional-grade results while reducing the risk associated with traditional brush-based cleaning methods.
For best results you should wash by hand.
For detailers and enthusiasts alike, this process highlights how the right chemistry—used correctly—can achieve exceptional results with minimal effort and maximum surface safety.
