Specific Areas

Products for the parts of the car that need their own chemistry: wheels and tyres, glass, engine bays, exhaust tips, chrome and bare metal, headlights, convertible tops, matte paint, trim and plastics. Each of these surfaces has a reason a general-purpose product is the wrong choice — acid on polished alloy, alcohol on tinted glass, silicone dressing on a matte finish — and the product pages here say which chemistry is safe where.

For wheels specifically, start with how to choose the right wheel cleaner — it covers brake dust, iron fallout and why we will never sell a hydrofluoric-acid cleaner.
