Wheel or Wheel Spray Forte?
Wheel cleaning is a crucial part of vehicle care. However, not all wheel cleaners are the same – SWISSVAX offers two distinct solutions: Wheel and Wheel Spray Forte. Each product is designed for different needs. In this article, we’ll explain the differences and advantages of both products so you can choose the best option for your wheel cleaning.
Wheel: The Classic Wheel Cleaner Concentrate
Wheel is a traditional wheel cleaner concentrate based on peppermint oil. It stands out for its versatility and can be diluted according to the level of dirt on the wheels.
Advantages of Wheel:
- Highly economical – ideal for regular use.
- Customizable concentration based on dirt level, preserving the wheel’s wax sealant for longer.
- Space-saving and perfect for travel as it mixes with water.
- Suitable for pre-cleaned or lightly soiled wheels.
Disadvantages of Wheel:
- May be too mild for neglected wheels with baked-on brake dust.
- Thin consistency – requires multiple applications during cleaning.
Wheel is especially practical for regular use and for travel in countries like Switzerland, where vehicles are subjected to less long-distance wear.
Wheel Spray Forte: The Modern Wheel Cleaner
Wheel Spray Forte is a modern, acid- and phosphate-free wheel cleaner based on sulfur compounds. Thanks to its intensive cleaning power, it is ideal for heavily soiled and neglected wheels.
Advantages of Wheel Spray Forte:
- Color indicator shows when the cleaning process is complete.
- Effective even on baked-on brake dust.
- Thicker consistency for better adhesion to surfaces.
- Safe for all wheel surfaces, including magnesium and painted wheels.
Disadvantages of Wheel Spray Forte:
- Slight sulfur odor that cannot be completely eliminated.
- Less economical than Wheel.
- Same concentration regardless of dirt level, which may affect the wax sealant faster.
Wheel Spray Forte is ideal for long-distance travel or heavily used wheels, such as after highway driving.
How to Polish and Seal Wheels?
After cleaning, wheels can be polished and sealed with the right products to maintain their shine and provide long-term protection. Use the SWISSVAX Wheel Bristle for thorough cleaning, SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluid for polishing, and Autobahn Wheel Wax to create a long-lasting protective layer with non-stick properties.
Recommended Steps:
- Clean the wheels with Wheel or Wheel Spray Forte and the SWISSVAX Wheel Bristle.
- Polish the wheels with SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluid and a soft cloth.
- Apply Autobahn Wheel Wax to protect wheels from brake dust and dirt.
For easy cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, we recommend the Wheel Woolies.

The choice between Wheel and Wheel Spray Forte depends on your needs and usage:
