Acid-free, ceramic-safe, ferociously effective.
Strips brake dust on contact
Lifts caked-on dust in seconds without scrubbing.
Non-acidic chemistry
Safe on lacquered, painted, diamond-cut, chrome and polished alloys.
Coating-safe
Won’t break down ceramic coatings or wax layers on your rims.
Works with every brush
Use with our Wheel Brush for the barrels and a soft brush for the face.
Caked-on dust, gone.
One application, light brush agitation, pressure-wash rinse.
Four steps to spotless wheels.
Rinse, spray, agitate, rinse. No acid required.
Pre-rinse the wheel
Knock the loose dirt off so Cherry Bomb can attack the bonded stuff.

Cover the whole wheel
Spray liberally onto the face, lip, barrel and behind the spokes.

Brush the dirty bits
Use the Wheel Brush for the barrels and a soft brush for the face.

Power-wash off
Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a wheel-only Drying Towel.

Pro tips
- Heavily ingrained brake dust? Use Violet Storm afterwards.
- Work cool, shaded wheels — never sun-baked.
- Keep a wheel-only mitt and bucket to avoid grit transfer.

Common questions about Cherry Bomb.
Is Cherry Bomb really non-acidic?
Yes. It’s pH-neutral with no harsh acids — safe on every wheel finish including diamond-cut and ceramic-coated alloys.
Will it strip my wheel coating?
No. It’s designed to be safe on ceramic coatings and wax layers — use it as often as you wash.
Can I just spray and rinse?
For light dust, yes. For caked-on brake dust, agitate with a soft brush or wheel mitt for best results.
What about embedded iron particles?
Follow up with Violet Storm — our pH-neutral iron remover — to chemically dissolve the metal contamination.
What’s the difference between 500ml and 5L?
Same formula, just bigger value. The 5L is the smart buy if you wash regularly or share with the family.
