Wheel or Wheel Spray Forte?

Wheel cleaning is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance. However, not all wheel cleaners are the same – SWISSVAX offers two distinct solutions: Wheel and Wheel Spray Forte, each designed for different cleaning needs. In this guide, we explain the differences and advantages of both products to help you choose the best option for your wheel care routine.

Wheel: The Traditional Wheel Cleaner Concentrate

Wheel is a classic wheel cleaner concentrate based on peppermint oil. It is highly versatile and can be diluted to different concentrations depending on the level of contamination on the wheels.

Advantages of Wheel:

• Highly economical – ideal for regular use.
• Adjustable concentration depending on dirt level, allowing the wax sealant on the wheels to last longer.
• Space-saving and travel-friendly, as it is mixed with water.
• Best suited for pre-cleaned or lightly soiled wheels.

Disadvantages of Wheel:

• May be too mild for heavily neglected wheels with baked-on brake dust.
• Thin consistency – requires multiple applications during cleaning.

Wheel is particularly convenient for regular maintenance and for use in countries like Switzerland, where long-distance driving is less common.

Wheel Spray Forte: The High-Performance Wheel Cleaner

Wheel Spray Forte is a modern, acid- and phosphate-free wheel cleaner based on sulfur capolate. Thanks to its powerful cleaning properties, it is especially effective for heavily contaminated and neglected wheels.

Advantages of Wheel Spray Forte:

• Color indicator shows when the cleaning process is complete.
• Highly effective at removing embedded brake dust.
• Thicker consistency allows for better adhesion to the surface.
• Safe for all wheel finishes, including magnesium and painted wheels.

Disadvantages of Wheel Spray Forte:

• Slight sulfur odor that cannot be completely removed.
• Less economical compared to Wheel.
• Fixed concentration regardless of dirt level, which may reduce wax protection faster.

Wheel Spray Forte is ideal for long-distance driving or heavily used wheels, such as after highway trips.

How to Polish and Seal Wheels?

After cleaning, wheels can be polished and sealed with the right products to maintain their shine and protect them in the long term. Use SWISSVAX Wheel Bristle for thorough cleaning, SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluid for polishing, and Autobahn Wheel Wax to create a long-lasting protective layer with anti-stick properties.

Recommended Steps:

1. Clean the wheels using Wheel or Wheel Spray Forte along with the SWISSVAX Wheel Bristle.
2. Polish the wheels with SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluid and a soft cloth.
3. Apply Autobahn Wheel Wax to protect the wheels from brake dust and dirt.

For effortless cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, we recommend the Wheel Woolies.
