Pure Magic Cleaner Review – Acid Wheel Cleaner That Works
Brake dust caked on your wheels? Pure Magic Cleaner is the acid-based solution that melts through heavy contamination fast. Safe on OEM clear-coated wheels when used correctly, it’s the cleaner that finally makes wheels easy again.
Melt Away Brake Dust
Pure Magic Cleaner is the acid-based wheel solution that cuts grime faster than anything else.
Quick Take
- Category: Acid-based wheel cleaner.
- Best for: Wheels with heavy brake dust, mineral deposits, or baked-on grime.
- Safe on: OEM clear-coated wheels and uncoated rubber when used as directed.
- Why it matters: Cleans faster, with less scrubbing, saving you time and effort.
Why Acid Works
Acid wheel cleaners cut through metallic brake dust, rust blooms, and mineral build-up that neutral soaps or APCs simply can’t touch. Pure Magic’s blend penetrates contamination at the chemical level, releasing it from the wheel surface for a faster, safer rinse-off.
Safety First
Acid-based cleaners need respect. Used properly, they’re incredibly effective. Used carelessly, they can etch or damage delicate finishes. Follow these safety steps:
- Always wear gloves and eye protection.
- Work in shade on cool wheels.
- Never use on raw aluminum, chrome, or anodized finishes.
- Rinse thoroughly after use.
Best Dilutions
- Heavy brake dust: Use 1:1 (cut with equal parts water).
- Moderate grime: Dilute 2:1 (two parts water, one part product).
- Maintenance: Up to 4:1 for quick cleans on already protected wheels.
How to Use It
- Pre-rinse: Spray wheels with water to cool and loosen loose dirt.
- Spray: Apply Pure Magic evenly across wheel face and barrel.
- Dwell: Let sit 30–60 seconds (never allow to dry).
- Agitate (optional): For stubborn areas, use a soft wheel brush.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly top to bottom until water runs clear.
Real-World Results
On neglected wheels, Pure Magic melts away the brown, baked-on brake dust that usually requires endless scrubbing. In most cases, you’ll see 80–90% of contamination slide off with just a dwell and rinse, leaving only light brushing needed for perfection.
Who It’s For
- Daily drivers with wheels constantly coated in brake dust.
- Detailers needing speed and consistency in high-volume work.
- Anyone frustrated by endless scrubbing with APCs or weak cleaners.

Comparison to Non-Acid Cleaners
Non-acid cleaners are great for maintenance washes and delicate finishes, but they lack the bite to remove baked-on brake dust. Pure Magic is the next level—a pro-grade solution that saves time when nothing else works. Many pros pair both: neutral cleaner weekly, Pure Magic once a month for deep resets.
FAQs
Is Pure Magic safe on all wheels?
No. It’s safe on OEM clear-coated wheels but not raw aluminum, chrome, or anodized finishes. Always test first.
Do I have to scrub?
Not always. In many cases, brake dust rinses off after a short dwell. Light brushing may be needed for stubborn spots.
Does it strip wax or ceramic from wheels?
Yes, it can. If you’re running wheel protection, reapply after using Pure Magic.
