About this product

Auto Rae-Chem Cherry Bomb is a high strength iron fallout remover with a colour-change formula that does something no ordinary wheel cleaner can — it shows you the contamination. Spray it on and the product turns deep purple as it reacts with embedded iron particles, bleeding down the wheel wherever there's fallout to dissolve. When the bleeding stops, the job is done. Those iron particles are what make wheels look permanently dirty no matter how hard you scrub — brake dust bonds into the surface and normal shampoo simply washes over the top of it. Cherry Bomb dissolves them chemically instead, with no scrubbing and no risk to the finish. pH neutral and acid free, so it's safe on painted, powder-coated, polished, anodised and diamond-cut wheels — and on paintwork, so it works just as well as a fallout treatment on bodywork before polishing.

💡 Why your wheels still look dirty after washing
Every time you brake, the pads throw off hot metal particles that embed themselves into the wheel surface. They sit below the level a wash mitt can reach, and they rust in place — which is why a thoroughly washed wheel can still look grey and tired. No amount of shampoo or scrubbing removes them, because it isn’t dirt sitting on top. It needs dissolving chemically, and that is precisely what Cherry Bomb does.
⚡ Why this one costs more than most
Fallout removers are not all the same. The active chemistry is the expensive part, and the cheaper products on the market are simply weaker — which shows up as a faint pink tinge instead of a proper purple bleed, and a second or third application to get the same result. Cherry Bomb is a high strength formulation, so it reacts harder and faster on the first pass. You use less of it per wheel, and you spend less time waiting. Judge a fallout remover on what it costs you per wheel cleaned, not per bottle.
How to use
1
Rinse the wheels and work on a cool surface
2
Spray on evenly and let it dwell
3
Watch it turn purple — wait until bleeding stops
4
Agitate if needed, then rinse thoroughly
💡 Getting the best from it
Work on cool wheels out of direct sun — a hot wheel dries the product before it can react, and dried fallout remover is harder to rinse off. Don’t let it dry on the surface. If the wheels are heavily soiled, wash them first: Cherry Bomb is there to dissolve embedded iron, not to shift a season of road grime, so it works far better on a clean surface. And a first application on neglected wheels will bleed dramatically — that’s the product doing its job, not a fault.

🏆 Get through a lot? There’s a 5L

The same high strength formula comes in a 5 litre trade drum at a much better price per litre — worth it if you detail regularly or run a valeting round.

Where it fits in your wheel routine

Use Brite Wheels or Alloy Bright for regular weekly cleaning, and bring Cherry Bomb out every few months for the deep decontamination those can’t do. Agitate with a genuine Vikan wheel brush, then finish the tyres with Hi-Shine or Tyre Shine. Search “Auto Rae-Chem” in our eBay store.
