Protect your precious alloy wheels from unsightly swirls and scratches with the Emporio Automotive, WHEELIE MITT Ultra-Plush Wheel Mitt.

We understand that even the softest wheel brushes can sometimes be a little too abrasive, potentially leaving behind microscopic swirls or light scratches that accumulate over time, leading to a dull or marred finish. Just as we trust a microfibre wash mitt on our car's delicate paintwork to reduce these imperfections, our innovative WHEELIE MITT brings that same gentle, swirl-reducing technology directly to your cherished alloy wheels.

The WHEELIE MITT is ingeniously designed to allow you to reach all those notoriously hard-to-access areas, such as intricate wheel spokes, deep inner barrels, and recessed dirt traps. Its super-soft, fluffy microfibre construction is expertly engineered to gently agitate stubborn brake dust and road grime when paired with your favourite wheel cleaner.

Crucially, it's safe to use on all types of wheel finishes, including sensitive lacquer, highly polished, and durable powder-coated surfaces. The unique microfibre composition actively lifts dirt and traps it securely within its plush fibres, encapsulating contaminants until they are safely rinsed away in your dedicated wheel bucket.

The precisely engineered split-pile microfibre ensures maximum contact with complex wheel surfaces, providing powerful cleaning while being the absolute best way to manage and prevent scratching, swirling, and marring during the critical wheel wash stage.

Designed for optimal control and user comfort, the WHEELIE MITT includes convenient internal finger compartments for addition grip, allowing you to maintain full control, even when the mitt is saturated or you're wearing gloves. We highly recommend wearing appropriate protective gloves when using this product with wheel cleaners, as the mitt's highly absorbent microfibre will naturally soak up detergents. With its enhanced grip and an easy, cuff-less opening, the mitt offers quick, effortless donning and removal.

As your car's wheels are often the dirtiest part of the vehicle, they naturally harbour the most concentrated contamination. To significantly increase the longevity and maintain the peak performance of your WHEELIE MITT, we strongly recommend thoroughly cleaning it after each and every use. Additionally, applying a small amount of normal car shampoo (your regular car wash soap, not wheel cleaner) directly to the microfibre before use can help to lubricate the fibres and further prevent stubborn grease and grime from sticking.

Important Safety Note: Never use the mitt on other areas of the car (especially paintwork) if it has already been used on the alloy wheels. While the mitt's versatile size may be useful for other contaminated areas such as exhaust tips and front grilles, always ensure that a completely separate, dedicated wash mitt is used for those applications to avoid any cross-contamination.

Application Directions & Best Practices:

IMPORTANT: Always wear appropriate protective gloves when using powerful wheel cleaners. Always clean the WHEELIE MITT thoroughly after each use. Critically, NEVER use a mitt that has touched wheels on your car's paintwork to prevent severe cross-contamination and potential scratching.

• Pre-Rinse Wheels: Begin by thoroughly rinsing your wheels with a strong stream of water from your hose or pressure washer to remove loose dirt, heavy brake dust, and surface debris.
• Apply Wheel Cleaner: Spray your favourite dedicated wheel cleaner or an appropriate, wheel-safe all-purpose cleaner generously and evenly onto the entire wheel surface, ensuring full coverage of spokes, inner barrels, and brake calipers. Allow the cleaner to dwell for the recommended time as per the product's instructions.
• Prepare Mitt (Optional but Recommended for Enhanced Performance): Before dipping the mitt into your wheel bucket, and for enhanced performance during subsequent uses, apply a small amount of normal car shampoo (your regular car wash soap, not wheel cleaner) directly onto the clean, wet fibres of the WHEELIE MITT. Gently work it into a slight lather. This helps to lubricate the microfiber, further preventing stubborn brake dust and grease from sticking to the fibres and making post-use cleaning easier.
• Agitation & Cleaning:
  • Slip your gloved hand comfortably into the WHEELIE MITT, utilizing the internal finger compartments for a secure and controlled grip.
  • Gently yet thoroughly agitate all wheel surfaces. Work the mitt into spokes, around lug nuts, into recessed areas, and behind brake calipers (where accessible).
  • Allow the plush microfiber to gently lift and encapsulate the brake dust and grime. Work section by section around the wheel.
• Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the wheel and, crucially, the WHEELIE MITT itself with a strong stream of clean water to flush away all loosened contaminants and cleaner residue. Rinse the mitt frequently in a dedicated wheel bucket during the cleaning process to release trapped dirt and maintain its cleaning efficiency.
• Dry: After the wheels are completely clean and rinsed, dry them using a separate, dedicated wheel drying towel to prevent water spots and ensure a pristine finish.
• Care & Maintenance for Longevity:
  • After Every Use: Rinse the WHEELIE MITT immediately and thoroughly under running water to remove all brake dust and chemical residues.
  • Machine Washing: Machine wash with a dedicated microfibre detergent (or a mild, pH-neutral liquid laundry detergent) in cold or warm water (up to 40°C / 104°F) on a gentle cycle. Always wash separately from other laundry, especially cotton items, to avoid lint contamination.
  • AVOID Fabric Softeners & Bleach: DO NOT use fabric softeners or chlorine bleach, as these can permanently damage microfibre fibres, reduce absorbency, and compromise the mitt's effectiveness and longevity.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry (hang to dry in a well-ventilated area). DO NOT iron. High heat will melt the synthetic fibres.
  • Storage: Store your clean, dry WHEELIE MITT in a clean, dry place, completely separate from your paintwork wash mitts to prevent any cross-contamination.

Warnings & Precautions:

• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
• Not a toy. Adult supervision recommended when children are present.
• Inspect mitt before each use for damage (e.g., snags, tears, embedded debris). Discontinue use if damaged, as this may lead to scratching surfaces.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
