Absolute Acid is a professional-grade, acid-based wheel cleaner built to handle what ordinary cleaners can't. It dissolves brake dust, rust, hard water stains, and oxidation in seconds — on aluminum wheels, tanks, trailers, stainless steel, and any metal surface that's been neglected.
Why detailers and truckers switch and never go back: ✓ Cuts through brake dust and rust in 30 seconds flat ✓ Eliminates hard water stains and mineral deposits ✓ Touchless cleaning — no scrubbing required for most applications ✓ Works as Step 1 in the 2-step touchless wash system with Savage Soap ✓ Made in USA — professional quality, no compromises
How to use: Wet the surface → Spray on Absolute Acid → Wait 30–60 seconds → Rinse thoroughly. For heavily oxidized surfaces, a light brush helps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most of our customers tried 2–3 other products before finding us. The consistent feedback: other cleaners require heavy scrubbing or multiple applications, and some of the cheaper ones just don't cut through real rust and brake dust. Absolute Acid is a professional-grade formula — it's what detailers and fleet operators use because it actually works in one application.
Absolute Acid is designed for non-raw aluminum, alloy wheels, chrome, and stainless steel. If you have raw or highly polished aluminum that you want to protect, check out our Rampage Polish-Safe Cleaner — it's gentler on those finishes. Not sure which you have? A quick image search or test on a small area will tell you.
A 16oz bottle handles a standard set of 4 wheels with product to spare. For full trucks, semis, trailers, or larger equipment, a 32oz or gallon jug is the move. Pro detailers and fleet operators typically go straight to the gallon, 5-gallon bucket, or 55-gallon drum.
Absolute Acid is safe on painted, clear-coated, and chrome wheels when used as directed. Wet the surface first, don't let it dry on the surface, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid letting it sit in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. We recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area before wide application if you're unsure about your finish.
Yes — and this is where it really shines. Use Absolute Acid as Step 1: pre-soak your surface, rinse off, then follow with Savage Soap 2.0 as your Step 2 foam wash. Together they make up our Touchless 2-Step Kit — no scrubbing, no contact washing, professional results.
Absolute Acid works on: alloy and chrome wheels, aluminum fuel tanks and trailer skirting, diamond plate, stainless steel, pontoon boats, concrete equipment, mixer trucks, and most unpainted metal surfaces affected by rust, brake dust, or hard water staining. If it's metal and dirty, this will handle it.
No. Hundreds of our customers get perfect results with just a garden hose. A pressure washer speeds things up and helps on heavy buildup, but it's not required. Spray on, wait 30–60 seconds, rinse off.
16oz bottle, 32oz bottle, 2x32oz bundle, case of 6 (32oz), 1 gallon jug, 5 gallon bucket, and 55 gallon drum for commercial accounts.
15 to 60 seconds is the sweet spot for most jobs. You'll see it working — that's normal. For heavy rust buildup, let it sit closer to 60 seconds and use a light scrub brush after application. Don't let it dry on the surface.
