Acid-Free Formula
Axis provides strong cleaning performance without the use of an acidic formula.
This makes it well suited to regular wheel maintenance where a harsh acid cleaner is unnecessary.
It is suitable for use on clear-coated wheel finishes when used correctly.
Strong Cleaning Performance
Axis is designed to break down some of the most common contamination found on wheels, including:
- Brake dust
- Road grime
- General dirt
- Mud
- Traffic film
Its chemical cleaning action helps loosen bonded contamination before rinsing.
Foams on Agitation
When worked with a suitable wheel brush, Axis produces foam that helps extend cleaning action across the surface.
This makes it particularly useful for:
- Spokes
- Wheel faces
- Barrels
- Around wheel nuts
- Intricate wheel designs
Contactless Cleaning on Light to Medium Soiling
For lightly or moderately contaminated wheels, Axis can often remove a significant amount of dirt without heavy agitation.
Simply spray the product evenly, allow it to dwell and rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer.
For more heavily soiled wheels, agitation is recommended.
Dilutable Up to 1:20
One of Axis' biggest advantages is its flexibility.
It can be diluted up to 1:20 depending on the cleaning task.
This allows you to adjust the strength for:
- Heavy contamination
- Regular maintenance
- Light cleaning
- Frequent professional use
The strong dilution ratio also makes Axis particularly economical.
Excellent Value Per Wash
Because Axis can be diluted significantly for lighter cleaning tasks, one bottle can provide a large amount of usable solution.
This makes it suitable for both enthusiasts and professional detailers who clean wheels regularly.
Safe for Clear-Coated Wheels
Duel Autocare states that Axis is safe for use on all clear-coated wheel finishes.
As with any strong wheel cleaner, always follow the usage instructions and rinse the product thoroughly.
Bare Metal & Polished Alloy Caution
Extra care should be taken with bare metal or polished alloy wheels.
Duel recommends testing Axis on an inconspicuous area first before full application.
This is particularly important on:
- Bare aluminium
- Polished alloy
- Unprotected metal
- Sensitive wheel finishes
How to Use Duel Autocare Axis
- Ensure the wheel is cool before application.
- Spray Axis evenly across the wheel surface.
- Allow approximately 2–3 minutes of dwell time.
- Agitate with suitable wheel brushes if heavily soiled.
- Rinse thoroughly using a pressure washer.
For Lightly Soiled Wheels
For regular maintenance:
- Apply Axis evenly.
- Allow the product to dwell for 2–3 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
Depending on contamination levels, agitation may not be necessary.
For Heavily Soiled Wheels
For more stubborn contamination:
- Apply Axis generously.
- Allow 2–3 minutes to work.
- Agitate using suitable brushes.
- Pay particular attention to spokes, barrels and wheel-nut areas.
- Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer.
Do Not Allow to Dry
Never allow Axis to dry on the wheel surface.
Dried wheel cleaner can leave residue and may affect sensitive finishes.
Always work methodically and rinse each wheel thoroughly.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Do not use Axis in direct sunlight or on hot wheels.
For the safest and most consistent results, clean wheels:
- In the shade
- When cool to the touch
- One at a time where necessary
Ideal for Regular Maintenance
Axis works well as part of a routine wash process.
It is particularly suited to:
- Daily drivers
- Performance cars
- Cars with high brake-dust output
- Regular detailing
- Professional valeting
Ideal for Performance Brake Setups
Cars fitted with performance brake pads often create significantly more brake dust than standard setups.
Axis helps make maintaining these wheels easier by combining general cleaning action with effective brake-dust removal.
Axis vs Mild Wheel Shampoo
A mild shampoo may be enough for very lightly contaminated, regularly protected wheels.
Axis is better suited when you need:
- Stronger cleaning
- Brake-dust removal
- Better degreasing
- Contactless cleaning potential
- Adjustable dilution
Ideal Before Wheel Protection
Axis is also useful before applying:
- Wheel sealants
- Ceramic coatings
- Spray protection
A properly cleaned wheel provides a better base for subsequent protection products.
