Description
Exothermic — Deluxe Heat‑Resistant Wheel Wax
Product overview
– Exothermic is a user‑friendly, deluxe wax formulated specifically for wheels and high‑temperature metal surfaces. Its advanced formulation delivers a durable, high‑gloss finish that resists heat and brake dust for up to three months under normal driving conditions.
– Engineered to bond to metal substrates, Exothermic helps repel road grime, reduce staining from brake dust, and maintain visual depth and gloss on alloy, painted, and powder‑coated wheels.
Key benefits
– Long‑lasting protection: Up to 3 months of heat‑resistant performance depending on driving conditions and maintenance.
– High gloss: Produces a deep, reflective finish that enhances wheel appearance.
– Contaminant resistance: Helps repel brake dust, road grime and light contaminants, simplifying regular cleaning.
– Easy application: Formulated for straightforward manual application with minimal buffing effort.
Surface preparation
– Thorough cleaning is essential for optimal adhesion and longevity. Remove brake dust, oils and embedded contaminants using a wheel‑specific cleaner and an iron fallout remover to dissolve metallic deposits. Follow with a full rinse and dry. If heavy contamination or staining is present, perform decontamination and, if required, light polishing to restore the substrate prior to waxing.
Recommended conditions
– Work in a shaded, well‑ventilated area with wheels cool to the touch. Avoid application on hot panels or in direct sunlight, which can affect product leveling and curing.
Application directions
1. Remove wheels (recommended): For best, longest‑lasting results and full access to all surfaces, remove the wheels from the vehicle. If removal is not practical, work one wheel at a time.
2. Clean and dry: Ensure each wheel is completely clean and fully dry. Any residual cleaner, water or oils will reduce bonding and durability.
3. Applicator: Use a soft foam applicator pad to deposit a small amount of Exothermic. Less product is more — aim for a thin, even coating.
4. Application technique: Work the wax into all wheel surfaces, including face, barrels and inner lips, using light, uniform pressure. Ensure even coverage without heavy build‑up.
5. Dwell time: Allow Exothermic to cure for approximately five minutes (time may vary with ambient temperature and humidity). Do not let the product over‑cure on very hot panels; shorter dwell may be required in high heat.
6. Buffing: Remove excess residue with a clean, low‑pile microfiber or high‑quality buffing cloth, turning the towel frequently to a clean side to achieve a streak‑free, high‑gloss finish.
7. Recoating: If additional protection or gloss is desired, apply a second thin coat following the same procedure once the first coat has properly leveled and been buffed.
Maintenance and longevity
– Lifespan will vary with driving habits, road conditions and exposure to aggressive cleaners. We recommend gentle wash techniques and pH‑neutral car shampoos to prolong the coating. Avoid harsh wheel cleaners or strong acids/alkalis that may degrade the wax.
Compatibility and precautions
– Safe for most alloy, painted and powder‑coated wheels when used as directed. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure of compatibility with aftermarket finishes or specialty coatings.
– Avoid application to brake rotors, tires, or braking surfaces. If product contacts brake components, remove immediately.
– Do not apply in temperatures outside the recommended range or on hot wheels, as improper curing may occur.
Safety and storage
– Use in a well‑ventilated area. Avoid inhalation and prolonged skin contact; wear gloves if necessary. Keep away from open flames and ignition sources.
– Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Consult the product label or Safety Data Sheet for complete safety, first‑aid and disposal guidance.
Troubleshooting
– Difficulty buffing or secondary haze: Likely over‑application or excessive dwell time. Remove excess with a microfiber and reapply a thinner coat.
– Poor durability: Surface contamination prior to application — repeat cleaning and reapply.
