  BLACKFIRE Gel Wheel & Tire Cleaner
This 100% water-based cleaner
safely
cleans tires and all types of wheels!
Quite possibly the
world's most advanced wheel cleaner, BLACKFIRE takes advantage of recent
breakthroughs in chemical engineering to create a new class of cleaner. The new,
non-ionic surfactant in BLACKFIRE Gel Wheel & Tire Cleaner quickly
and safely cleans tires and all types of wheels including aluminum, clear
coated, painted, polished and anodized. The active ingredient in this cleaner
was developed by a Swedish chemical company in 2002 to replace the acids and
butyl ethers found in most tire and wheel cleaning products.
| The vast majority of
wheel cleaners in this country contain butyl or butyl ether. Butyl is a highly effective
cleaner and inexpensive. On the downside, butyl can white-stain aluminum, is very harsh on your
skin (it dries skin on contact), can cause respiratory
distress (coughing) if inhaled and is the subject of a continuing debate over environmental
biodegradability. In short, it works and it's cheap but it's not friendly to
people or the environment. Butyl has been legislated out of cleaning products in
several European countries. Sweden leads the world in butyl-replacement research and development.
The new ingredient in BLACKFIRE Gel Wheel & Tire Cleaner is the
state-of-the-art in non-butyl cleaning technology. |

Contains no butyl or
petroleum distillates! |
To our knowledge, we are
the first American company to use this Swedish technology in a car care
product.
BLACKFIRE Gel Wheel
& Tire Cleaner is a 100% water-based cleaner! It contains no
acids, no butyl of any kind and no petroleum distillates. It is safe for
all wheel finishes including polished aluminum and clear coats. We
combined this new, non-ionic surfactant with additional emulsifiers and
wetting agents to allow it to quickly and safely remove all manner of
dirt, road oils and brake dust from both tires and wheels.
Technical
Note: This is not a spray on/hose off cleaner. It requires some
agitation from a sponge or brush to break the bond between the brake dust
and the wheel. Spray on/hose off cleaners are typically acid based which
could harm the wheel's surface over time. A quick wipe with a sponge or
brush is usually all it takes to remove even baked on brake dust and road
grime.
|
| There is no need to buy one cleaner for tires and another cleaner for
wheels!
BLACKFIRE Gel Wheel and
Tire Cleaner works equally well on rubber tires where it reaches deeply
into the tire's pores to lift and remove oils, road grime and brake dust.
It leaves both the tire and wheel squeaky clean.

Safely cleans both
tires and wheels. |

Application Tips:
- Clean one wheel at a time.

- Spray a fine mist of cleaner over entire tire
& wheel.
- Allow cleaner to dwell for 10 - 20 seconds.
For best results, agitate surface with a soft brush or sponge.
- Hose off thoroughly with a strong water spray.
- Dry tire and wheel with a clean towel.
