Mellow Yellow isn’t normally the name that springs to mind when you want an alloy wheel cleaner that can shift baked on brake dust but in this case looks, and names, can be deceiving.
Knowing that your alloy wheels are quite possibly the most important thing to you after the car itself and knowing the lengths you’ll go to to avoid parking near kerbs or driving over potholes, Dodo Juice decided that too many rival wheel cleaners out there were harming the lacquer and paint of wheels and that they could do a better job. From experience, the mad scientists on Dodo Island can indeed do a better job and I think Mellow Yellow is further proof.
By targeting the brake dust itself, Mellow Yellow really gets to work on brake dust and leaves the wheels in pristine condition. Whilst designed to only munch through ferrous materials (brake dust), Mellow Yellow is still strong so should be properly rinsed off, especially where brake pads are concerned.
Mellow Yellow comes in a ready to use spray bottle and a concentrated (dilute 1:1 with water) refill. I’ve heard great results can also be had with diluting Mellow Yellow in use – making it last even longer!
The funny thing is, people have sold themselves on the idea that acidic cleaners are bad for wheels – wrong! It’s lazy chemists knocking up extremely caustic alkali cleaners that started this rumour mill grinding and Dodo Juice are keen to sing the praised of “targeted acid” technology cleaners… just like Mellow Yellow.
