Wheel rim cleaner K2 ROTON 700 ml – liquid for washing rims with bloody rim effect

K2 ROTON 700 ml is a liquid wheel rim cleaner formulated to identify and assist in removing iron-based contamination from alloy and steel rims. The product produces a visible color change — often called a "bloody rim" effect — where the cleaner reacts with ferrous particles from brake dust and other deposits. This reaction helps the user see contaminated zones and assess areas that require additional mechanical or chemical treatment, while also beginning the chemical loosening of stubborn residues.

Advantages

The cleaner produces a rapid color change on contact with iron particles, providing a clear visual indication of contamination. Its liquid, easy-to-apply formulation wets rim surfaces effectively, allowing the active ingredients to reach crevices and pores. K2 ROTON is suitable for routine exterior wheel maintenance and supports more efficient cleaning by showing where further attention is needed.

Suitable for

• Cleaning alloy rims and steel rims
• Locating and treating brake dust and iron-based deposits
• Pre-treatment before mechanical scrubbing or pressure washing
• Regular exterior wheel maintenance to monitor contamination levels

Key specifications

• Form: liquid cleaner
• Volume: 700 ml
• Application area: external wheel rims
• Effect: color-change reaction with iron particles (iron fallout indicator)
• Compatibility: suitable for typical alloy and steel wheel finishes (follow manufacturer's care instructions)

How to use

Apply K2 ROTON to a cool, dry wheel surface away from direct sunlight and hot components. Spray or pour an even layer over the rim, ensuring coverage of spoke gaps, barrel, and inner surfaces that are accessible. Allow the product to react for the time indicated on the label until the characteristic color change appears, then agitate stubborn areas with a brush or suitable tool. Rinse thoroughly with water and repeat if necessary for heavily contaminated zones. Avoid prolonged contact with paint, plastics, or rubber; remove any overspray from painted bodywork promptly.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first if wheel finish is unclear. Do not use on hot surfaces. For best results combine with mechanical agitation and a final rinse; follow vehicle and wheel manufacturer care guidelines.
