Review on ๐Ÿšฟ Powerful 1 Gallon Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner: Mothers 05902 by Alexander Scharon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great, but you need STRONG water flow for 100% results. Foamy trigger works forever, wears out your hand.

liquid inside - 4.5 stars. It works great and is easy to use. The only complaint I might have is that the spray/hose clearance statement isn't quite there yet - at least not on my bikes. You need a VERY powerful stream of water to get the job done. I have 60-65 psi water pressure, which is pretty good, but either a hose barb or something else isn't quite good. However, my small electric pressure washer does the trick. I spray the stuff in and the pressure washer with the medium to medium fan nozzle cleans the rims perfectly. This product is also great if you actually use a brush, mitt or other wheel cleaning implement. It's a great replacement for car or dish soap. To do this, you can dilute the product 1:1 or more with water and it will still be very effective. Another thing that works is diluting it with 2 parts water and putting it in a small pump sprayer (used mostly for garden use) and a solution of 1 part cleaner to 2 parts water, pressurized with the right setting being sprayed literally washes everything off wheels. You'll need a flush after that, but for bad cases of brake dust and if you're not getting good results with your hose, this might work better. What could be nicer than cleaning every nook and cranny by hand. Another problem is that the frothing seems like a little trick and takes a hell of a lot of time. For a product designed to speed up cleaning your wheels, it takes a LONG time to inflate to coat your wheels in foam. To be honest I buy gallon jugs and pour them into my sprayer with more power and a good misting picture. After doing two cars with this foamy trigger, my arm cramped! I don't know who at Mother's has used this trigger on more than one machine, but it's unbearably slow. Foam is great, but they need a better way to do it. What this product really needs is a pressurized dispenser that you can refill. You pump up that suction cup and it spits out foam like the foam gun you buy for the rest of the machine. What makes me wonder - I'm wondering how this would work in my foam gun? (Must try next time to see if adding product and dosing with a foam gun is quicker - it should be!). If the foam gun works I will update this review accordingly. Because this product is so effective even when diluted, the foam gun in its most concentrated form can foam all 8 tires on both of my cars in seconds saving me even more time.

Pros
  • Unique tubeless spray reliably penetrates, loosens and suspends all types of brake dust, grease, dirt and grime.
Cons
  • repair
