I use for my wheels and tires. Turtle Wax Wheel and Tire prep, brake buster, and Diablo wheel cleaner in the bucket. And the wheels come out super clean
Great comparison! I agree with you. Keep these great comparisons coming
Thanks Tim! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment
Someone at the Adams store told me not to dilute this product... So I didn't. And the product didn't last very long because I used so much. I diluted the P&S Break Buster 4:1 in an IK foamer and got terrific results. The solution was not runny, I was able to scrub the tires throroughly and got fantastic results.
I hardly ever use the Adam’s straight up. The person at the Adam’s store was probably just trying to make sure they sell more product
I used it full strength one time and one time only. Every other application was at 5:1 because it’s so damn strong!
Good bang for the buck to me because it truly does clean tires to a black state unlike other degreasers I’ve used in the past.
So I went to local Adam's store (yes, we have a local Adam's retail outlet) and they suggested I get their eco wheel cleaner. I don't think it did an amazing job, and it cautions to not let a single speck of the fluid dry on the wheel of the entire universe will implode into a black-hole formed by what once was the wheels attached to the car. It is scary stuff, although it's good as a joint pain reliever. I got some on my hands and now I can't feel a thing. The Adam's store is good if you want to buy Adam's products. Not so good for not-Adam's products.
@ej7863do you buy the gallon size?
@ej7863 what should I dilute adams gallon size?
Used to use Griot's "Heavy Duty Wheel (and tire) Ceaner"; apparently has a built-in iron remover (like Sonax) as will turn purple; do you use a dedicated iron remover with each wash? Thanks!
Is the 16-oz bottle of brake buster diluted, or is it full strength?
My new favorite wheel cleaner is Koch Chemie Alkali wheel cleaner. It’s a new product and works great!
I wouldn’t recommend Brake Buster on severely dirty wheels and tires. It’s more for maintenance. I recommend Superior Dark Fury. At $20usd for a gallon it’s an incredible product
I have only used P & S Brake Buster 50/50. Currently using Wheel Cleaner only from 3D Nano. Cost $40.00 for 5 gallon dilutable. But I have to use a tire cleaner as well.
What did you think about the P&S?
Which 3D nano wheel cleaner do you use? I went to their site and they only showed yellow degreaser as "wheel cleaner."
disclaimer im now sponsored by admas!
so before being sponsored by adams i always used P&S BB to clean my wheels and tires but recently switched to the Adams and i will say the adams does a much better job at cleaning my wheels "white wheels with ceramic coating" with the P&S i had to scrub my wheels way more then i had to with the Adams with the adams i only have to use a small brush to clean the small lettering indents on the wheels vs with the P&S i had scrub much longer and more of the wheel
IMO both are amazing and for the price i would say the P&S might be better since its $10 cheaper per gallon but does require more product and more scrubbing
but for me Adams is my go to even tho more expensive its a better product that i dont have to use as much of and spend less time scrubbing
I’ve noticed that the P&S isn’t the best at removing stubborn brake duster. Better suited as a maintenance cleaner imo
Don't know if it's the rubber compound but, Brake Buster doesn't do well on cleaning my Michelin tires. I really only use Brake Buster for cleaning the wheels only. I use water base dressings like Perl and CG VRP. For the tires, I've always get great results using Eagle One AtoZ Wheel and Tire Cleaner. It's been my long time favorite. It's not economical because they stopped selling the larger container years ago. One thing that I notice, is that, when I use anything but Eagle One I get a lot of greasy grime buildup on my tire brush. I've tried other cleaners and degreasers but, I'm still favor Eagle One. I just recently bought Adam's Tire and Rubber cleaner which, I'm hoping will perform equal to Eagle One. I don't mind having a dedicated cleaner for my wheels and tires.
I use Turtle Wax Hybrid all tire and wheel and it works very well.
Great video. Do any of these products damage ceramic coated rims?
Hey Russ. While a true ceramic coating should be resistant to both of these products, I think the coating will still take a slight hit every you use a wheel cleaner that's not ph neutral.
I would dilute 4:1 for the wheels if you have a wheel coating.
So do you think the wheel brightener is the best out there for rims?
Wheel Brightner is a very strong acid based wheel cleaner. I wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary
Is there a particular reason why so many detailers tend to use hand pump foam sprayer to spray on wheel when they have multiple foam cannons can be use on wheel more quicker? I’m curious, can you tell me why?
I'm guessing to eliminate cross contamination. They might want just the hand held foamer to be for when they clean wheels which are much smaller than the rest of the vehicle. Of course after you are done with either you should run water through them to clean out any residual chemicals. Also to cut down using much stronger chemicals through the cannon. I'm just guessing here. I'm not a professional detailer but it's just an educated guess. I hope this helps.
I’ve actually never tried a wheel cleaner in my foam cannon. Mr. Huss correct. I have two foam cannons. One mainly for ph balanced gentle car wash soaps and one for stronger alkaline soaps/strip washes.
A foam cannon dilutes the chemical with water from the hose. The maximum concentration you can get with a foam cannon is around 7-1, and that's with a low gpm pressure washer.
Useful comparison. What are you using under the wheels?
1 inch thick rubber tiles cut into strips
@@TheCarDetailingChannel May I know where can one buy those tiles?
I got them from my local Homedepot. Are you in Canada or the USA?
@@TheCarDetailingChannel I am in Ontario

How are you not going to give your opinion?
Adams hands down !
Why is your Adams wheel & tire cleaner blue? I have one and mine is kinda burgundy color. 🤔
I have no idea. It was purple when I first bought it. Maybe because it’s relatively old (a year). Still works the same though
@@TheCarDetailingChannel interesting. I have an almost 2 year old 1 gallon jug and color hasn't changed. Wonder if you kept it in the garage and the temperature made it change
I was wondering same thing...Adams is usually purple...ive never seen it blue.
What does it mean 1 part solution 4 parts water? I’ve read about this a few times but don’t understand if someone can explain this dilution ratio concept. Thank you.
You are essentially diluting the product that comes in a gallon or in a smaller bottle from the store to make it last longer. Any product used as is without diluting it will of course work as well as it possibly can because its as strong as it can be. When you dilute the product with water, it becomes a little weaker but it still does a great job at cleaning. Benefit of diluting the product is that it will last much longer saving you money in the long run.
4:1 Dilution ratio works like this. For example in an empty bottle, you add 400ml of distilled water and then you add 100ml of the product (wheel cleaner). Now you have 500ml of solution that you can mix up and use in a foam cannon, in a spray bottle or in an iK Foam pro used in this video.
You now have 500ml of solution that can be used to clean all the wheels but you only used 100ml of the actual product saving you 400ml of product.
For other applications, you can dilute it even more to a 10:1 ratio saving you even more product. You'd get 1100ml solution (1000ml of water and 100ml of product) to clean the same wheel or tires. Now it will be even weaker than 4:1 ratio so you'll just have to apply the solution couple of times to get the tires fully clean.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
I have a gallon of P&S and I’ve used it with the ink foamer and a spray bottle diluted from weka to strong and I never seen the brown off the tires but I used the green bottle of turtle wax wheel tire cleaner and the brown shows up right away. So I just bought a gallon of adams cleaner and we’ll see if it turns the wheels brown or not. The turtle wax seems to clean better but they don’t sell a gallon on the green bottle they sell the hybrid though.
update?
@@Ligma7232 so I haven’t used the adams but I’ve filled a 1/4 to 1/2 of my foamer with brake buster and added water and been wasting it just to get rid of it and now it makes the tire brown but I’m using it in a much concentrated way but I’ll let you know about the adams here shortly as I have to clean my wife’s suv
Im new to this. I havent been into washing cars since 2011. How do i turn it into foam?
Use a foam sprayer, a popular one is IK Foam Pro 2. If you want more foam out of it, you could add an ounce of your favorite car soap to your foamer or foam cannon.
Love me my adams wheel n tire
Me too
they will all clean good if you scrub them
That is true for fresh brake dust. I was more curious to see which one is better at cleaning tires
Sad but true
Both great products.
They really are. If I had to stick with one over the other, I’d choose the Adam’s
@@TheCarDetailingChannel same here.
Adams tire an wheel not safe for anodized wheels p&s is safe for all after market wheels
That's not quite review thare both great well buy cheaper one but it's not a tire and rim cleaner Adam's makes a tire rubber cleaner that stuff works great on tire you gonna need 2 products but if you doing this every day that tire and rubber cleaner is a great product
I’ve never tried the tire and rubber cleaner from Adam’s. Before Tire and wheel cleaners became a thing, I’d use Spray Nine on the tires and Meguiars wheel brightner on wheels (if caked)
why don't you use wheels that are covered in brake dust. My Merc wheels look dirtier from brake dust in a couple of hours. Not realistic.
Why not just buy them both and mix them together
naw u might be onto something 🤣
Adam’s wins
Yes, agreed
ADAM'S tire and wheel cleaner is Pink not blue.
The last bit of my gallon changed from a pink/purple to a blue for some reason. It's odd because i've always stored it in a cool, dark place.
You're conclusion is sophomoric. "They're both good for the money." Weak. If you had to spend YOUR money on one to use, and you couldn't change your decision EVER, which one would you choose?
IF I had to pick and couldn’t change my decision … Adam’s all day long. What’s your go-to wheel cleaner?
No response on the towels, hunh? Well, I'm probably going to go down to Masterson's today. They've got some pretty decent pricing on microfiber towels. Mine seem to get clogged up with mineral deposits from our brutally hard water here. It's like 750ppm dissolved solids. I don't think it's illegal, but it's a lot. Washing towels doesn't clean them, it just saturates them with calcium and lime and all sorts of other dissolved minerals. I guess it's that way because the water company stores it's water in natural underground aquifers that are, guess what, giant natural stone cisterns. Lots of sandstone around here. I try cleaning my car and I end up smearing as much dirt on it as I clean off it. It's annoying. Entropy. Mother Nature. I hate all that stuff.
Adam’s tire and wheel is not designed to remove brake dust. They make a wheel cleaner for that. I don’t know what the p&s chemistry is
