Lega Extreme is a special professional iron remover wheel cleaner with a total effect. In one step, it completely removes road grime and iron oxides, which are typical of intensive braking activity and delayed cleaning cycles. Thanks to its innovative nanotechnology, it penetrates deep into the surface porosity with a powerful decontaminating effect against persistent dirt, providing an amazing shine effect to the rims.
It forms a protective film on the surface that delays new oxidization. It is safe on all types of rims—even unpainted mirror-polished ones like Alcoa, anodized, ergal, and titanium finishes—thanks to its neutral pH formulation. It is also safe for the surfaces of cars, motorcycles, scooters, and heavy vehicles.
LEGA EXTREME can also be used on the car exterior and windows to remove iron oxides typical from railway transport. Furthermore, iron removing action on car paint is the first and most important step before polishing: Lega Extreme opens up the paint's pores to release ferrous particles and to neutralize caustic compounds that have developed in the paint's subsurface.
Features:
pH-neutral
Acid-free and caustic soda-free
Safe on the wheels, bodywork and glass
Safe for the operator
Why use LEGA EXTREME on rims and bodywork:
- Total effect: removes road grime and iron oxides in a single step
- Completely eliminates iron oxidation generated by brakes
- Penetrates surface porosity, thoroughly degreasing and cleaning persistent dirt
- Leaves the rim and bodywork clean and extremely glossy
- Prevents re-oxidation for several weeks by creating a protective film
- Prepares the car paint for polishing by releasing trapped ferrous particles
How to decontaminate wheels and remove iron deposits from the bodywork:
- Shake well before use
- Spray the undressed (neat) product directly onto the surface to be treated, preferably dry
- Wait 1-2 minutes until the dirt changes colour, turning purplish-red to indicate the active cleaning and decontamination process
- Rinse with high pressure water jet.
Tip: If you do not have a pressure washer, simply use a wash mitt or sponge and rinse with running water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the wheel decontaminant ruin the brakes or the paint on alloy wheels?
Used following the technical dilution and dwell time instructions, a professional cleaner like Lega Extreme acts safely on dirt without affecting protective finishes (such as clear coats or transparent treatments) and without damaging the brake system components.
How do you remove stubborn brake dust from alloy wheels?
To eliminate baked-on brake dust and iron residues, a specific decontamination cleaner such as Lega Extreme must be used. The product should be applied to strictly cold wheels, left to act for a few minutes (avoiding drying out), and agitated with a brush or soft detailing brush in the crevices before thoroughly rinsing with high pressure.
Can the decontaminant be used on hot wheels or under direct sunlight?
No, professional decontamination products must never be applied to hot wheels or directly exposed to sunlight. Heat causes the chemical formulation to evaporate instantly, neutralising its effectiveness and risking permanent water spots or stains on the rim. This is a good rule of thumb to follow for all detergents.
How often should a car's wheels be decontaminated?
It depends on vehicle usage and driving style. On average, for a daily-driven car, a complete decontamination is recommended every 2–3 months. If driving predominantly in the city (frequent braking) or adopting a sporty driving style, brake dust builds up much faster, making a monthly treatment necessary to prevent the dirt from permanently bonding.
