Iron Remover Meets
Wheel Cleaner.
Reactive. No-Touch Formula. Ceramic Coated Wheel Safe.
APEX bridges the gap between a traditional wheel cleaner and a fallout remover. A strong, dedicated wheel cleaner formulated to safely remove the heaviest brake dust build-up — ideal for heavy dusting brake pads and neglected wheels that haven't seen proper attention in a while.
The reactive formula is designed as a no-touch solution. Apply it, let the chemistry do the work, watch the color change indicate neutralization of iron contamination, and rinse clear. Contamination, road grime, and embedded brake dust removed with little to no agitation needed.
APEX can be used on painted, powder coated, ceramic coated, and non-ceramic coated wheels. If you have polished rims, delicate metals, or bare metal wheels, we'd recommend our React Fallout Remover instead.

"The color change tells you it's working. The rinse tells you it's done."
— Carbon Collective · APEX Reactive Wheel CleanerWhat APEX does
Reactive Iron Removal APEX chemically reacts with ferrous iron contamination — brake dust and embedded particles — turning purple/red as it neutralizes. The color change is confirmation the formula is actively working.
No-Touch Formula Designed to remove contamination without scrubbing. Spray on, let it dwell, rinse off. Heavily soiled wheels can be agitated with a soft brush if needed — but in most cases, the chemistry handles it.
Bridges Two Products in One Traditional wheel cleaners handle surface grime. Fallout removers tackle embedded iron. APEX does both — a single formula that covers contamination at every level.
Safe on Ceramic Coated Wheels Formulated to work hard on contamination without compromising coatings applied to the wheel surface — painted, powder coated, or ceramic coated finishes.
Built for Heavy Duty Use Neglected wheels, track cars, heavy dusting brake setups — APEX is formulated for the jobs where a standard wheel cleaner gives up. It's the strong option when the wheels need real attention.
Directions
Apply 4–5 sprays onto the wheel. Allow to dwell for a few minutes — the color change will indicate neutralization of iron contamination. Heavily soiled wheels can be agitated with a soft brush if needed. Rinse until the water runs clear.
Do not use on hot wheels. Take extra care on black and powder-coated wheels. Do not allow to dry on the surface.
If you have polished rims, bare metal, or delicate wheel finishes, see our React Fallout Remover for a gentler iron removal option. APEX is for when the wheels need something stronger.
