BRILLIANT is a robust and highly effective rim cleaner that is non-corrosive, solving the safety issues that rim cleaners commonly raise. In addition, BRILLIANT has a low odour, and is biodegradable. BRILLIANT has been formulated to retain its acidity (required to remove metallic particles from wheel rims) but is not corrosive to human skin.
Yes. All of Auto Valet’s rim cleaners are body shop safe. This includes BRILLIANT, FLAME, and RIM CLEANER.
Rim cleaners are formulated to be acidic as brake dust that attaches itself to wheel rims during the braking process, contains metallic particles. These metallic particles are more soluble in acidic solutions than alkali based cleaners. Surfactants used in rim cleaners are especially selected to remove iron oxide (rust), grease, lubricants and old residual tire dressings. The rim cleaner BRILLIANT is formulated to retain its acidity but is not corrosive to human skin, unlike other rim cleaners that are corrosive.
RIM CLEANER is formulated to solve O.E.M. issues of rim cleaner damage to rims. When used as directed, RIM CLEANER is safe to use on O.E.M. rims without the risk of damage.
Similar to cleaning rims, tailpipes require a specific acid solution (rim cleaners) to solubilize and remove carbon. Rim cleaners are effective on tailpipes that are light to medium coated with carbon. If tailpipes are heavily coated, use a compound to remove the baked-on carbon.
Only agitate the wheel rims for intensely soiled applications, when necessary. Using a spoke brush, scrub back and forth to loosen the tough build-up, reaching behind spokes to access small openings.

To remove vehicle transit coatings and new vehicle delivery wraps, use the same method as discarding stickers from a vehicle’s surface. First begin by preparing the areas of application, then remove the coating/wrap using a heat gun. Follow this by using a solvent-based cleaner degreaser to remove the remaining adhesive. Finally, review your work to ensure all adhesives are cleared away.
