What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing calls this a spray bottle in its material details but also says to pour the cleaner directly into a separate spray bottle, which is not included. Bottle format and included applicator are therefore unclear. Follow the supplied directions to use on cool, dry wheels, allow 2–4 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with water.
