About MIRCH Grime Reaper

Grime Reaper is one product for wheels and tyres. It is a concentrated alkaline cleaner that clings, reacts fast and loosens brake dust, oils, tyre browning and road grime before you touch anything. Less agitation, faster rinse, better result.

It is not a reactive cleaner, so it will not turn purple. Instead it uses surfactants, solvents, alkaline salts, builders and chelates to engulf contamination and pull it off. That is what lets it handle iron, tar, oils and organic grime on both the rim and the rubber.

Dilution gives you control. 1:3 for a neglected wheel or heavy tyre browning, 1:10 for a maintenance wash, which is also where it is safe on coated wheels. Not for raw polished metal or ceramic brakes. Previously sold as Grime Off.

Why it works

  • Wheels and tyres in one. No second bottle for the rubber.
  • Clings and works. Contamination loosens during the dwell, so the brush does less.
  • Concentrated. 500 mL makes up to 5 L at 1:10.
  • Coating friendly at 1:10. Maintains a wheel coating without stripping it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grime Reaper is quickly becoming one of our most popular wheel & tyre cleaning products - but wheel cleaners & tyre cleaners always have their fair share of questions. Make sure you read the directions above well, and we’ve got some of our most asked questions below to help answer anything you’ve got. If we didn’t address what you are after, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Whats the difference between Grime Reaper and Dragon Blood from MIRCH?
So Grime Reaper is kind of like the “all rounder” wheel cleaner. It’s alkaline formulation and super large cleaning profile means it’s pretty much the go to for maintenance, allowing you to clean your wheels and tyres super easily & economically by diluting it and using the one product for both. BUT, it’s alkaline nature and unique formulation can sometimes struggle against SUPER deep, embedded iron/brake dust. This is where we tend to reach for Dragon Blood, which is acidic and specifically targets and reacts to deep iron/brake dust. It’s not as good at removing dirt/grime compared to Grime Reaper, but if iron is your issue then look to the Dragon.
Is this product safe to use on ceramic coated wheels?
For proper ceramic wheel coatings, Grime Reaper is fine to maintain this at weaker dilutions. If your wheels are coated, chances are the wheels are staying cleaner for longer & the contamination on the surface isn’t that bad - so go for a dilution around 1:10 and this will maintain well + keep your ceramic coating working well and won’t damage a proper ceramic.
Can I use even heavier dilutions? Say 1:1?
If you do want more cleaning power, we have tried to product at 1:1 or 1:2 with some super results - but make sure you do a test section on an inconspicuous area. At this heavy dilution it can be pretty aggressive, so just be mindful. Cleaning power will be very good, but be weary.
Do I have to agitate? Can this give me a touchless clean?
Yes this product can definitely give a touchless clean - its powerful enough to grab everything off the wheels & brakes. BUT it really depends on the condition if your wheels & tyres. If they are in a bad state and things are pretty embedded then you may need to agitate with some wheel cleaning brushes or a tyre brush to properly remove all the contamination.

    Hi Tenzin!

    Glad you are loving the Grime Reaper as well as your other products! Yeah Grime Reaper is becoming one of our go to wheel cleaners, so versatile and even though it's alkaline it's still grabbing all the muck and the iron comes off with it - really cool. Thanks again for the feedback and all the best mate.

    Impressed!

    A very easy to use wheel and tyre cleaner it has a very subtle scent. I mixed it at a 1:1 ratio and straight away as soon as i sprayed the rubber was getting brown foam as it was dissolving the old tyre shine and road grime which I was pleasantly surprised. I let it sit for a few mins on the rim and rubber then rinsed and done a contact clean.

    As you can see in the pic scrubbing the rubber with a stiff tyre brush done wonders to cleaning up the rubber ready for dressing later on.

    Highly recommended!

    Great Stuff

    Brought this and Dragon Blood to do a comparison. Wasn't impressed with Dragon Blood, but Grime Reaper at 1.1 dilution is my new go to wheel cleaner

    Great to hear you have found Grime Reaper to be an effective solution for you! Be mindful on coated, powder coated, decals, and on rims with any form of protection - Grime Reaper is powerful and might damage these surfaces if you aren't careful.
