PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Your car’s wheels take a bit of a pounding out on the road, especially in dusty UAE regions. Not only are they the part that is closest to the road and all its dirt, but they also have to contend with red-hot dust particles generated from brake pads and discs. The Sonax Beast Wheel Cleaner (1L) is intended to make life much easier and healthier for your tyres and rims. It contains grade A material, which reacts with the stubborn iron fragments, making them smaller so they fall out of the wheel’s surface when scrubbed or faced with a pressure washer’s blast. It is designed to give you shinier wheels and the beastly confidence to take on the UAE road.
