/ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2

1. Why not just use a standard car shampoo?

While a standard car shampoo may provide some cleaning ability, /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 delivers several key benefits that make it far more effective and safer for wheels:

• Stronger cleaning performance compared to a pH neutral car shampoo

• Foam remains stable, even as the wash solution becomes contaminated with brake dust

• Lubrication stays consistent throughout the wash, reducing risk of marring or scratching

• Chemical composition targets brake dust, road salt and general wheel grime with purpose-built surfactants

• Built-in rust inhibitors to help protect exposed components like brake hubs and wheel hardware

 

2. Can /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 be used in a foam lance or sprayer?

Yes, absolutely. It was developed specifically with foam application in mind, particularly for two key reasons:

• Sensitive wheel finishes – Many modern alloys, especially gloss black or luxury finishes, are easily marred with contact washing. When foamed, /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 provides maximum coverage and lubricity, significantly reducing risk of damage during the wash process.

• Expanded versatility – Thanks to its enhanced cleaning power, it performs exceptionally well on wheel arch liners, suspension components and undercarriage areas. For best results, pre-spray your chosen cleaners on these components, then follow with a foamed layer of /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 to extend dwell time and improve cleaning effectiveness. This approach works equally well on wheels.

 

Where does /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 sit within a full chemical line up?

Wheels are the most contaminated area of any vehicle, and they deserve a dedicated cleaning approach. That’s why we always recommend using a separate wheel bucket and a purpose-designed wheel shampoo like /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 as part of your standard wash process. For heavily contaminated wheels, you can supplement with additional products such as fallout removers or degreasers. But for well-maintained alloys that are regularly cleaned, sealed, or coated, the use of harsh chemicals like acids becomes unnecessary.

 

This is where /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 makes the most sense, it sits perfectly between a standard car shampoo and a dedicated wheel cleaner, delivering cleaning performance, consistency, and safety in one step. We believe that a shampoo with this level of lubricity, that maintains performance throughout the wash, is key to keeping wheels in excellent condition over the long term.

 

3. What is /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 and why does it stand out
/ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 is a highly concentrated maintenance shampoo crafted to tackle brake dust and road grime across all alloy wheel types. Its signature high‑cling foam promotes extended chemical contact, improving breakdown of contamination while advanced lubrication keeps contact cleaning safe and effective. It also includes rust inhibitors to add a layer of protection.

 

4. How do I dilute and use Wheel Shampoo V2 for best results
Begin by rinsing your wheels to remove loose debris. Shake the product well before use. For moderately soiled wheels, dilute around 10 ml in a 4 to 5 gallon bucket of water. For heavily soiled wheels, increase the dilution to 20 ml for extra lubricity and cleaning power. Work the foam in with a soft brush or wheel mitt from the top down, then rinse thoroughly.

 

5. What makes Wheel Shampoo V2 more effective than a standard car shampoo?
Unlike a neutral car shampoo, Wheel Shampoo V2 delivers superior cleaning thanks to its formulations tailored to wheel contaminants. Its foam remains stable even as wash water saturates with grime and lubrication stays consistent from foam to rinse improving safety. Rust inhibitors and dedicated-wheel chemistry add further performance advantages.

 

6. Can I use this product through a foam lance or trigger sprayer?
Absolutely. Wheel Shampoo V2 is foam lance and trigger sprayer compatible. Its high‑cling technology enables excellent coverage on not just wheels but also wheel arches suspension components and liners when applied through a sprayer for extended dwell.

 

7. Where does it fit within my wheel cleaning routine?
This product sits neatly between a general car shampoo and aggressive wheel cleaners. For routine maintenance, it delivers safer cleaning with less chemical risk while still removing stubborn contamination. For wheels overloaded with fallout, use it alongside a fallout remover for deeper decontamination.

HOW TO USE

 

1. Shake well Before use. Dilute 10ml of /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 for a moderately dirty alloy wheel. for heavily soiled alloys, Use 20ml for extra cleaning power and lubrication in a 4-5 gallon bucket.

 

2. Rinse the wheels to remove loose contaminants from the alloys, preferably at high pressure. 

 

3. Clean the wheels with a soft bristle brush or wheel mitt. Start from the top working down, ensuring all spokes are treated. 

 

4. Once all areas have the product worked into the wheel and tyre, rinse the wheel down to ensure the encapsulated dirt is washed away.

FOR BEST RESULTS

​

1. Use a fallout remover in combination with /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 for a more aggressive clean of the alloy wheel.

 

2. /ONE: Wheel Shampoo V2 can be used to degrease tyre walls, wheel arch liners, brake callipers and suspension components. It can also be used in combination with your preferred APC/Degreaser for added lubrication and chemical cling.
