Nice video. I use the same setup for my wheels. Tip: Don't put your brushes on the ground. Rims scratch just like paint. Also, try to help the tire brush from hitting wheel as you scrub.
Thank you and yes for sure! Awesome tips!!! I should do a follow up with the correction. Definitely will be changing the way I do wheels moving forward. Thanks again!!!
I’ve been using this setup for almost two years now. After a prerinse, I spray the tires with p&s undressed and then foam over with brake buster at 10:1. The foam gives the undressed better cling and dwell time. Brake buster is better in the ik at a weaker dilution because the water helps reduce buildup in the sprayer and produces a better foam overall. 10:1 is plenty strong, I’ve never met a wheel so far it hasn’t been able to clean because of the dilution. Great video and I’ll have to check out more!
Thank you Ethan! We definitely share the same thoughts! P&S undressed is on my next amazon order list; and of course a review as well! And you thank for the encouraging words, its a new channel with so much more to come. Typically I post each Sunday morning. I have been so encouraged of how fast it is growing. I'm excited to see where it goes over the next 6 months!
@@cMaJic9 I usually keep it at 32oz so would be about 3oz brake buster to 29oz water. I have a premade gallon though so when I’m low I can just pour it in
I recently switched wheel and tire cleaners. I now use maniac wheel and tyre cleaner. Stuff is crazy good. I have it at 6.5:1 dilution and the cleaning power is crazy. I did an older accord and the wheels had some brake dust you could tell had been on there for years. Little agitation from a brush and it came right off. Also smells really nice which is appreciated. Brake buster is still great but for me doing other people’s cars sometimes you just need some heavier cleaning power. I like that it has such good cleaning power while still being diluted. Brake buster I’d have had to use straight most likely, and I’m not sure it would get it off then either. I highly recommend you give it a shot. I think they have it at TOC supplies. It seems bigger in Canada than in the US at the moment.
Those are pretty nice looking wheels but if you don’t change your brushes you’re going to be disappointed soon. Invest in some Wheel Woolies for black painted wheels, also keep a bucket at hand for your brushes. Some good info though.👊🏻👊🏻
Good to know, thanks. I purchased the stool from Canadian Tire like 13 years ago, no complaints with it. I did though try an awesome stool at my detail place in town and it was awesome. I think it was from Adams.
In my personal experience BB is weak. I tried it 5:1 and 3:1. Both times, I needed 3 passes to really clean semi dirty the wheels without the foam browning. Almost everyone on RUclips who tests this also doesn't let the wheel dry to see if yellowing remained
@@LifeOfaMatt I've heard from P&S themselves that their Undressed spray should be used to fully remove everything. They stated that BB is a mild tire cleaner that is okay if regularly maintained, I just found this out too. I myself am using BB still because a gallon is a gallon :D
I would get made fun of for wearing gloves but let me tell you.. those chemicals really dry up your hands in a horrible way. Thank you for using them !
I hear you @krunchy! One day I was lazy and did not wear the gloves when doing a good deep clean and I paid the price for it. Wear the gloves, you will thank me later :)
@@LifeOfaMatt Bead maker is great but there's a lot of talk about mixing it with their other product Dream Maker. There's a couple vids on it here on RUclips. Interior cleaner is awesome as well. You can't beat P&S and Meguiars for the prices.
@aarongonzalez2156 not sure if I, RUclips or you deleted your original comment but it was a GREAT question and point. In saying that, I am reposting it! original idea from ruclips.net/video/AUouh-tSVxM/видео.html Great video Matt, you should check out the Sprayer 2.0 plus they added a Schrader valve so if you have an air compressor you don't need to pump it. I don't but I velcored a portable inflator to it and its working amazing. www.amazon.com/dp/B095YCKBWJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
SWEET Aaron!!! And thank you for the comments. Yeah I looked at the 2.0 but then I thought about how I would need to fire up the compressor each time and yeah I couldn’t be bothered with that. With what you are proposing is pretty slick! Honestly I don’t mind pumping between tires and it works for me. If I was detailing full time, hands your solution is the way!!! Perhaps a follow up video is in order. Who knows, maybe @theragcompany will send me a unit to try out and review 😉
I do. I typically wash my car each week in the spring, summer and fall. When not in season like right now, yeah I probably would not leave the brake buster in it for long periods of time but honestly, it is probably fine.
Absolutely!!!! I love the 2.0. I throughly did my home work before purchasing and I have to agree with the research and data, it is truly the best unit on the market!!
Gonna stick around with a sub if for nothing else you are working with a 5.0. I use the same setup for my wheels and tires. I have used Chemical Guys VRP as a dressing but am going to try Adams Graphene tire dressing today. What do you use for a dressing?
@@retiredairforce5111 thank you for subscribing, so much more to come about detailing and of course the 5.0 pony. I am trying to finish out an old bottle of Canadian Tire simoniz tire dressing which isn’t bad. I did pick up a CG VRP which works nicely for both tires and trim. I will need to check out the Adams product line too, thank you for the recommendation. All of this applied with foam tire applicator pad which works well in my opinion.
Brake buster is pretty good just to spray on and rinse off with the pressure washer. I think the best clean will only come when it is brushed and / or raged clean. BUT… if you do weekly washes, the effort is minimal vs once a month wash. Same goes for maintaining a garden and flower bed. Weeding is quick if done weekly vs a mess in leaving it for months.
@@LifeOfaMatt very true I do my car washes weekly still have to agitate the wheel cleaner , I believe we’re still behind on technologies ,we can’t even come out with a simple touchless washes
@@Pedroluvslupe no kidding. I personally can’t stand the touch less car washes as they never really clean the car even if with coatings on the vehicle. Plus the time you have to wait for them, you could have done the hands on wash yourself giving you a much cleaner result in the end.
@@LifeOfaMatt that’s why im saying that we have done nothing this is 2023 and we don’t have a real true touchless wash not even the cure for the Covid when it starts back in. 2020
Hmmm. Do you have the right tip installed? And confirming that it is the foam sprayer and not the pro model? I had to google this one before I bought mine.
Good to know Ricard and yes, it works! Not for everything but found the history kind of cool for this manufacture. From the owner selling his product out of a van to make some cash for college to fast forwarding 65 years later to where we are now. I was intrigued and figured I would share to you as the audience. Hope to see you on the next one!
Thanks Drew! The blue brush is very soft that I am using unless you are talking about the Big Easy red brush I used. Regardless I will take a look into it. Do you have any personal recommendations?
Good point UnDeR. PLUS if you are doing regular maintenance washes then 5:1 makes sense. I am going to try this out next time I need to fill up my iK Foam Sprayer.
I would try and avoid that Admin! When using it on my wheels, I only do one side of the car at a time. So basically I spray each one, wash each wheel and then wash off. When I gets warmer, I will only do one wheel at a time. So if by chance I get some over spray on the car it will only be there for a short about of time before I rinse it off. Regardless try and avoid the paint.

Yeah I have mine sitting it in my dedicated home hardware bucket for wheel cleaning. With a little bit of car shampoo in it
Nice vid. I also se that you don’t use 💦 when you put the brush in the wheel. I think beter whit water to improve it. 😊
You should use two foamers: one with a dry thick foam (more soap) and one with a wet foam (less soap)
I will have to check this out! Thank you for the tip!

If you bought that stool at Harbor Freight, be careful. A wheel bent and I fell off the stool. I think they recalled them.

I must remember to mix up my detailing chemicals inside on my timber bench tops.
Nice. Yeah it is so nice to have the mixed and ready to go when it comes to washing your ride.

You need a wheel bucket; keep the brushes off the floor. Don't want to scratch those nice wheel. Good job!
Thank you I G Lopez!! You are the second person to tell me that. Since then I have changed my ways :). Thanks again!

Can you leave the Brake Buster in the IK Foam Sprayer for months on end? Or should you empty it out after every wash to avoid clogging the filters?
I think it should be fine to leave it. I leave it in there.
Brakebuster is really all a person needs to keep up with maintained wheels. Have you tried Undressed from P&S yet?
Not yet but it is something I will definitely check out.
I do use Bead Maker and their interior cleaner too.

Always have a water bucket to put your brushes in
I know now lol. After posting this video, lots of people pointed this out to me. Thank you again for the reminder.
Any tire cleaner works and it’s good if you agitated, I wanna see something that you don’t have to touch the wheel. That’s a good soap
Brake buster is pretty good just to spray on and rinse off with the pressure washer. I think the best clean will only come when it is brushed and / or raged clean. BUT… if you do weekly washes, the effort is minimal vs once a month wash.

@@LifeOfaMatt Nevermind i figured it out thanks !
@@gkxzb2679 oh good times. Glad you got it to work!!!
Maybe once I powdercoat my wheels I’ll get this setup
And once you clean it, you can apply P&S Bead Maker or Gyeon Wet Coat to it in order to help keep it clean too!
Should spray the wells too
For sure!!! Good tip. I typically spray the wells with the pressure washer but a good P&S clean is not a bad idea too.

1/2 and 1/2 is way better ?
I’m not following LC, care to explain please.
@@LifeOfaMatt Half water half product 400 mil water and the rest 400 with the brake buster
Much better in the a foam cannon
No kidding J T, I hear you!!
The foam with 3:1 dilution ratio es way too thick for my liking. I'd do 5:1.
Good point UnDeR. PLUS if you are doing regular maintenance washes then 5:1 makes sense. I am going to try this out next time I need to fill up my iK Foam Sprayer.
this liquid works extremely better with foam cannon
Totally agree Tasanas!
What is the dilution ratio in ounces?
200ml = 6.76 ounces (product to use)
600ml = 20.28 ounces
800ml = 27.05 ounces for a grand total.
Good luck Albert!!!
It’s a ratio. 😂 Ounces don’t matter and can be easily calculated
1:3, 2:6, 3:9, 4:12, 5:15, 6:18, 7:21, 8:24 etc. the former being the product, the latter being distilled water
