Context
In the auto sector, a service result is mainly judged by visual appearance. Rims play a central role in that perception, as they are one of the most exposed elements and subject to high levels of contamination during vehicle use.
To meet this need for detail and final value, LIMPA JANTES ALJ 50 was developed as a finishing product, designed to integrate the final phase of the rim cleaning process.
The Technical Challenge
Even after careful washing, specific residues often remain on the rims that are not fully removed in the initial phase, namely:
- metal particles
- brake dust deposits
- other adherent inorganic dirt
These residues compromise the visual uniformity of the rim and limit the aesthetic impact of the final service.
The Technical Approach
The effectiveness of the finish depends directly on correct surface preparation.
During our analysis and on-site application, we considered the nature of the contaminants on the rims, which fall into two main groups:
- Organic dirt: oils, fats and oily dust
- Inorganic dirt: metallic and mineral residues
LIMPA JANTES ALJ 50 was formulated to act exclusively on inorganic residues, which clearly defines it as a finishing product and not a primary washing detergent.
Applied Process
To ensure a consistent and professional result, the following intervention sequence was followed:
- Main rim wash
Removal of loose dust and accumulated surface dirt. - Surface degreasing
Complete removal of oils and organic contaminants, ensuring a clean, prepared surface. - Application of LIMPA JANTES ALJ 50
Action on the remaining inorganic residues, enabling a uniform and value-added visual finish.
Result
Applying the complete process enabled:
- greater effectiveness in removing persistent residues
- uniform visual finish
- immediate improvement in the perception of cleanliness and detail
LIMPA JANTES ALJ 50 reveals its full potential when integrated at the right stage of the process, reinforcing the value of the service provided.
Conclusion
The result on the rims does not depend solely on the product used, but on the right moment of its application within the cleaning process.
LIMPA JANTES ALJ 50 — Finishing product: acts only after removing grease and organic dirt.
