A thick gel clings to the wheel, reacts with embedded brake dust and turns colour within a minute so you can see it working — and it does the same job on paintwork as the iron step of a decontamination.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eThe chemistry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active is a thioglycolate salt — the Safety Data Sheet lists sodium mercaptoacetate — which is both a chelator and a reducing agent. It reduces the iron(III) in brake dust and rail dust to iron(II) and binds it as a water-soluble complex that rinses away; that complex is what gives the purple colour. The depth of the colour is not a measure of how much iron came off. Yum Cars describe the formula as non-acidic and pH neutral, which is what makes it suitable for regular use on finished wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eUse it for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYum Cars state it is safe on most painted, polished, powder coated, clear coated and chrome wheels, plus wheel nuts, and on paintwork to remove iron fallout from the clear coat. On bare, anodised or unknown finishes, test a small area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse neat — do not dilute. Wheels must be cool. Rinse the wheel with a pressure washer, spray Yum Wheels over the face and barrel, allow it to react, agitate with soft brushes, then rinse thoroughly. Never allow it to dry on any wheel finish. On paint, apply out of direct sunlight, rinse fully and re-wash the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does Yum Wheels turn purple?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe active reacts with iron particles from brake dust and forms a purple, water-soluble complex that rinses away.
