Koch Chemie (AWH) Alkali Wheel Cleaner is a powerful alkaline rim cleaner that attacks brake dust and fallout.
Koch Chemie AWH is a high pH, concentrated wheel and tyre cleaner built to tackle the rough stuff: brake dust, road grime and tyre browning, without being harsh on your skin or the environment. Its low-foaming formula wets the surface thoroughly and breaks down contamination quickly.
Ideal for workshop bays, fleet management, or anyone dealing with regular heavy soiling. Despite the power, it’s free of harsh solvents or petroleum-based nasties. Just proper, efficient cleaning in a formula that rinses clean and doesn’t leave residue.
This isn't your average pH-neutral wheel cleaner. AWH is built for when wheels and tyres are properly caked. As with most high-pH products, avoid polished or raw aluminium and chrome, but for everyday cleaning of steel and painted alloy wheels, it’s a proper weapon. Explore more of the Koch Chemie range.
