Dodo Juice Deep Purple Wheel Cleaner – 1L
Deep-clean your wheels with Dodo Juice Deep Purple, a pH-neutral colour-changing wheel cleaner designed to tackle iron contamination, road grime, dirt and even help soften light tar deposits.
Based on Dodo Juice’s popular Ferrous Dueller fallout remover, Deep Purple uses a thicker, more wheel-focused formulation with added surfactants and solvents for broader cleaning performance.
As it reacts with ferrous contamination, the product changes colour while its thicker consistency helps it cling to the wheel surface for longer.
Available in 1L only.
Why Choose Dodo Juice Deep Purple?
Deep Purple is designed to do more than a conventional iron remover.
Its full-spectrum formula helps tackle:
- Ferrous brake dust
- Iron contamination
- Road grime
- General dirt
- Light tar spotting
This makes it a strong choice for dedicated wheel cleaning rather than simple fallout removal.

Full-Spectrum Wheel Cleaning
Many colour-changing cleaners focus mainly on iron contamination.
Deep Purple adds extra cleaning components to give it broader performance.
Its formulation combines:
- Iron-reactive chemistry
- Surfactants for general grime
- Solvents to help soften tar contamination
This makes it better suited to complete wheel cleaning.
Colour-Changing Iron Removal
Deep Purple reacts with ferrous deposits such as brake dust and embedded metallic contamination.
As the reaction takes place, the product changes colour, providing a clear visual indication that iron is being broken down.
Thick Formula for Longer Dwell
The thicker consistency helps Deep Purple remain on the wheel surface for longer.
This increased dwell time allows the active ingredients more opportunity to work before rinsing.
It is especially useful on:
- Wheel faces
- Spokes
- Barrels
- Rim edges
Built-In Surfactants
Deep Purple contains surfactants designed to help remove general road grime and dirt.
This gives it more traditional wheel-cleaner performance alongside the iron-removing chemistry.
Added Solvents
The formula also includes solvents that can help soften light tar deposits.
This is particularly useful during warmer months when tar spotting can become more noticeable.
For stubborn tar, a dedicated tar remover such as Dodo Juice Tarmageddon is still recommended.
Deep Purple vs Ferrous Dueller
Deep Purple is based on Ferrous Dueller, but the two products have different priorities.
Deep Purple:
- Designed specifically for wheels
- Thicker consistency
- Longer dwell
- Added surfactants
- Added solvents
- Broader grime removal
Ferrous Dueller:
- More focused on fallout and iron removal
- Typically stronger or faster visual colour reaction
- Better suited to general chemical decontamination
Because Deep Purple has a broader cleaning formula, its colour change may be slightly less intense or slower than Ferrous Dueller.
Ideal for Brake Dust
Performance brakes can create large amounts of ferrous brake dust.
Deep Purple helps chemically loosen this contamination before rinsing or agitation.
It is especially useful for:
- Performance cars
- Track cars
- Daily drivers
- Wheels with high brake dust build-up
Ideal for Road Grime
The added surfactants help tackle contamination that would not be removed by an iron remover alone.
This includes:
- Mud
- Road film
- General dirt
- Everyday grime
Helps with Light Tar Spots
Deep Purple can help soften smaller tar deposits during the wheel-cleaning process.
For heavier or stubborn tar, follow up with a dedicated tar remover.
How to Use Dodo Juice Deep Purple
- Rinse the wheels thoroughly with a pressure washer.
- Spray Deep Purple generously across the wheel face.
- Apply to spokes, barrel and rim areas.
- Agitate with a suitable wheel brush if required.
- Allow the product a few minutes to react.
- Wait for the colour change to develop.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Follow up with a dedicated tar remover if stubborn tar remains.
Rinse First
Pressure rinsing before application helps remove loose contamination and allows Deep Purple to focus on more stubborn bonded dirt.
This also helps reduce unnecessary product usage.
Agitate Where Required
For heavily contaminated wheels, agitation can improve cleaning performance.
Use a suitable wheel brush on:
- Spokes
- Wheel barrels
- Wheel nut areas
- Intricate wheel designs
Allow Time to React
Deep Purple needs dwell time to work effectively.
Give the product a few minutes to react with iron contamination and loosen grime before rinsing.
Rinse Thoroughly
Once the colour-change reaction has taken place, rinse the wheel thoroughly with clean water.
Ensure all product residue is removed from:
- Wheel faces
- Barrels
- Spokes
- Tight crevices
Ideal for Deep Cleaning
Deep Purple works particularly well before:
- Wheel sealant application
- Ceramic wheel coating
- Show preparation
- Seasonal detailing
- Full wheel decontamination
A cleaner surface gives subsequent protection products a better foundation.
Deep Purple vs Basic Wheel Cleaner
A conventional wheel cleaner may remove dirt and brake grime but may not actively dissolve embedded iron particles.
Deep Purple combines:
- General cleaning
- Iron removal
- Longer dwell
- Tar-softening ability
making it a more complete wheel-cleaning product.
