Using A foamer to clean wheels/tires

**cpw48** · 10-31-2019, 06:38 PM

So I have been using Brake Buster because of its reputation of being a great wheel and tire cleaner in one without being super expensive. I believe it's a bit over 25 bucks a gallon on amazon. So I learned to realize when it is diluted in a regular spray bottle it does not really clean very well, like, at all. So I used it in a foamer, similar to the IK foamer only it's the Adam's polishes version. Its foams really well and clean great, my only complaint was that it uses a ton of product. So I wanted to try something different to get a similar performance but not use as much product so I tried using a chemical guys foaming spray bottle. It worked very well similar to the foamer but used a lot of product once again. So all of this being said, what does everyone else recommend to use to spray out their wheel/tire cleaner to get great performance but still save product. Maybe using A foamer is the best option, if so just say, just curious to know anything others have come across. Thanks.

Well, when using Brake Buster in a spray bottle, to do a set of tires/wheels you infact use more, but when diluted in a spray bottle, even at your ratio, your using less. I'd suggest that if your maintaining your tires/wheels on a regular basis to stretch the ratio out further, like 5:1 or 6:1 but for more aggressive cleanings you've gotta dial it back up, down numerically

If you coated your wheels and tires you won't need a wheel cleaner, just soap and water clean up.

Clean them real good, apply one of the spray and blast products (like CarPro Hydro2), put P21s Total Auto Wash in your foamer @30:1 (You maybe could even go weaker. I use it at 30:1 to foam).
