I have been searching for a great wheel cleaner for awhile, and for this review I tested several products, however Mothers Wheel and Tire cleaner performed incredibly annihilating the competition. Application is very easy simply spray on with this great foaming nozzle and let it dwell for a few minutes..

You can actually watch it pull the muk and grime off of the wheels and tires (demonstrated on tires here)

Mothers Tire & Wheel Brush Combo Agitated with a tire brush and wheels are cleaned with a dedicated wheel brush.

Works flawlessly

As for wheels and brake dust works great as well, the versatility of this product is unparallelled.

But don't just take my word for it! Try it out for yourself!

Went in on the gallon two months ago, and couldn't be happier, I'm in love with this product, and I seldom say that, it's extremely versatile, I use it mainly for tires, however enjoy it with use on wheels and wheel barrels
today I used it on three pieces (wheels, tires, and wheel barrels), cleaned up 3 months of brake dust in the barrels, and ~1 month of junk on the wheels and 3 months of spent dressings on the tires with ease
Before my spent Eco Touch Tire Shine Dressing (Great product, and even when it wears off it fades to a decent look)

Overall Mother's Foaming Wheel and Tire cleaner is still #1 in my book, never hesitate to try out this product (its pretty cheap ~6 for a 24 oz bottle) and let me know how you like it! :xyxthumbs:

Also tried it on my chin spoiler, didn't really produce any results, but it was worth a shot as I use the same products on my tires as I do on the spoiler :dunno:

Unlike some cleaners, it really gets rid of tire brown to get a clean tire.
 
yeah it does, for six-seven dollars, it's really worth a shot for those that have never tried it, thanks for viewing! :xyxthumbs:
 
Did you need to use most of the bottle to clean four wheels and tires like some of the reviewers say?

A couple tips:

  • Spray in a sweeping motion - same amount over more area
  • Do not try to cover every single inch but spread it with a tire/wheel brush to get coverage.
 
The sprayer was tweaked to dispense less product after we heard about useage.

That hasn't been an issue for 2 years.

This stuff is great. In my unscientific test it was equivalent/better than Sonus, and at 1/3 the cost it's a no-brainier.
 
SON1C, any comparison to Meguiars Hot Shine All Wheel Cleaner? I used this stuff before and then when I used the Meguiars All Wheel I ended up buying three containers. But now I don't remember which really was better ha. Also going to be trying APC+ on the wheels too for comparison.

I was planning on giving that a try as well, but after using mothers I figured I'd stick with a cost effective product that worked great, I could give apc+ a shot on the tires as my apc+ came in two days ago
 
I think Mothers cleans better than Meg's APC+ 4:1.
 
Is the Mother's cleaner much more effective on tires than an APC? I've had no trouble getting my wheels clean with OPC with agitation, but anything that would help get the brown off of tires without a ton of scrubbing would be great.

Forrest,
Any chance in getting this in a concentrate? I really like this product, it just isnt very economical. The cleaning however is fantastic!

A concentrate for a wheel cleaner, or a gallon container?

We do it in gallons (part # 05902) and AutoGeek stocks it. There's too much liability in doing a wheel cleaner in concentrate for our owners - if you dilute it too much it won't work, and if you dilute it too little it may damage the wheel finish.

Heck, I'll sell a 55 gallon drum of it if you want a really low cost per use.

My Wife would "KILL ME" but I LOVE this stuff and I could be really intrested at a 55 gal drum!
 
I was hoping for a gallon of concentrate, similar to Megs detailer line. Im currently using megs acp+ and megs wheel brightner as I can buy a gallon and dilute it for my needs, and both last me a good while.

With your product Ill time and space by just buying 1 product, but with it being ready to use I save to for "special" vehicles as it is more expensive for me to use the Mothers product. It is really and amazing cleaner though.
 
I think Mothers cleans better than Meg's APC+ 4:1.

Agreed, pulls way more browning off. I used to use ARO for the really nasty tires, Mothers has replaced that product for me.
