P&S Brake Buster Non-Acid Foaming Wheel Cleaner w/ corrosion inhibitors
Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner
P&S Brake Buster is designed for application on wheels, tires, rotors, and brake calipers. When sprayed from the bottle, its gel-like formula adheres to wheels. Furthermore, it can be utilized with a foaming pump to produce luxurious foam, efficiently lifting dirt and grime. This versatile product excels in cleaning tires and removing browning before applying tire dressing (safe for cleaning whitewalls). It is suitable for use on various wheel types, such as chrome, powder-coated, painted, matte, aluminum, and more.
Corrosion Inhibitor
P&S Brake Buster leaves a thin layer of corrosion inhibitor, making it excellent for areas with exposed metal, such as rotors, brake calipers, wheel chips, and suspension parts. If it comes into contact with paint or plastics, simply rinse it off; it will not harm those surfaces.
Can be combined with P&S Iron Buster for extra cleaning power!
P&S Iron Buster
Iron Buster is significantly more powerful than Brake Buster when it comes to removing caked-on brake dust. It works exceptionally well as a pre-treatment before using Brake Buster.
Wheel Ceramic
Now that everything is clean, it's the ideal time to apply a coating to preserve the finish.
Use with Foaming Pump
Dilute Brake Buster in a foamer for an intense foaming action!
Lather it up with a brush
Use a detailing brush to reach the cracks and crevices, especially when cleaning lug nuts. Remember, P&S Brake Buster leaves behind a thin layer of corrosion inhibitor, so ensure the product reaches all the nooks and crannies. Once the wheels are clean, you can use Brake Buster to quickly apply a coating and ensure comprehensive coverage with the corrosion inhibitor.

Pre-treat with Brake Dust Remover
The P&S Iron Buster. Iron Buster Wheel & Paint Decon Remover is a colour-changing, fast-acting, pH-balanced cleaner formulated to safely dissolve ferrous particulate from wheel and painted surfaces. Iron Buster will safely and effectively remove embedded iron particulate along with other contaminants from wheels and painted surfaces. Once applied product will quickly change to a purple colour when iron particulate is plentiful and then can be rinsed to produce a clean surface.
As a general rule of thumb, you don't want any chemicals to dry on the surface. P&S Brake Buster has a long working time without evaporating too quickly, providing ample time for cleaning and rinsing.
If you pour P&S Brake Buster into a foamer without diluting it, it won't work because it's too thick. You'll need to mix it down to at least a 1:1 to 1:5 ratio with water. Mixing too high at 1:10 may also not produce thick foam.
You can; Brake Buster is not corrosive enough to erode the rubber O-rings and pump parts.
Any will do. The most popular options among detailers are the Marolex Axel foamer and the iK Foam Pro 2.
