WHAT IS P&S BRAKE BUSTER?
P&S Brake Buster is a non-acid wheel cleaner designed to safely clean wheels and tires in one step.
Unlike traditional wheel cleaners that focus only on wheel faces, Brake Buster also attacks tire browning, making it a great choice for detailers looking to simplify their wheel cleaning process.
The foaming formula clings well to surfaces, allowing the product time to break down brake dust and road grime before agitation.
HONEST REVIEW
After using Brake Buster on everything from daily drivers to heavily neglected vehicles, it's easy to understand why so many detailers keep it stocked.
The product sprays evenly, clings well, and begins breaking down contamination almost immediately. On maintenance details, it often requires very little agitation. On heavily contaminated wheels, it provides enough cleaning power to significantly reduce scrubbing time.
One of the biggest advantages is its versatility. Instead of carrying separate wheel and tire cleaners, Brake Buster handles both tasks effectively.
Another benefit is safety. Because it's non-acidic, it can be used on most wheel finishes without the concerns that come with stronger acid-based cleaners.
The only downside is that it isn't a miracle product for extremely neglected wheels. Severe iron contamination may still require a dedicated iron remover.
Overall, Brake Buster strikes an excellent balance between cleaning power, safety, and ease of use.
