P&S BRAKE BUSTER VS ADAMS WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER: WHICH ONE PERFORMS BEST?

[@Gunnvulcan]

Most cleaners work pretty good when you use 8oz on a tire.

[@TelaKalleoy]

32oz per car 💰☹ no bueno

[@Norcalw204]

Totally agreed lmao

[@chuckymystic]

Im like jeez, hes spending 5 bucks a wheel

Should have sprayed each of the tires with the opposing cleaner afterwards like to see if the Adam's would clean or expose what the P and S left behind and vise versa.

[@rsxfreak79]

I great way to test the strength of these products was to use them against each other with a second pass but flip the products by using Adams on the tire you used P&S on and vice versa to see if either browned the tire further.

[@tonav1]

I have both, I like the P&S better than the Adams. Much cheaper also! P&S for the win!

[@MIKEYSREVIEWS]

I agree

But why are other detailers hating on P&S products?? I wanna collect those detailing products but apparently they have bad reviews..

[@Etdubs]

I dilute p&s 3:1 in an IK foamer and it works fantastic. I used the old Adam's formula before and really liked it, but bang for buck p&s is fantastic.

[@RPJs-Cuisine]

6 in 1 and half dozen in the other! I would just pick the cheaper of 2.

[@antcallaway]

I bought Adams....same stuff as everyone else just 4 times the price!!

[@shonhall4197]

I like watching a video such as this where the product is put on with no agitation or touching, because if the product does well without even having to touch it, then you can feel confident that it will work amazingly after agitation. Thanks for the video. Adams would be World Class at cleaning wheels and tires if they could just Fix the HORRIBLE Smell.

[@nosaj03]

Ive been using Brake buster for a while and I really like it. It foams well and its got rust inhibitors. The touchless aspect doesn't matter to me because I always use wheel and tire brushes. I may try out Adams though just to try.

[@jayl2414]

Did you try out Adam's yet? Curious to know the results and your thoughts.

[@Youknowitbby]

@@jayl2414 everything’s subjective but in all honesty use P&S BB for maintenance washes {weekly/biweekly} If you need serious wheel and tyre cleaning Adams

[@brandon7189]

Great video. Finally someone that understands that using a brush with plain water will take off brake dust. A touchless test is the way to do it!!

[@Neur0bit]

Great video, but the whole thing looks overexposed and not hi res. Wish you would go to back to the old way of shooting. Just my opinion. Cheers

[@thomasgjonovich5524]

For my self I feel that using super clean on the tires and P&S brake buster on the rims diluted 10-1 in a foam cannon gives the best results for the least amount of money spent and all around better outcome. Use super clean let it sit for about 30 seconds then go over the tire with a max shine tire brush followed up by brake buster on rims with a details brush and you’re good to go.

[@microzip]

Interested to see the effect if you hit the Adam's side with P&S and vice versa.

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Definitely the Adams did a superior job in my book. Thanks for sharing and doing these product reviews.

[@ttiii1638]

Agreed!

[@random_dad99]

Did the same test in my car. Had to go over the P&S side with Adams and it pulled more brown stuff off the tire.

[@jimbo5728]

You should have hit the P&S side with the adams after, and vice-versa, to see what was left to be removed.

[@gambietti]

I like the fact brake buster has a rust inhibitor in it plus cost is less. I would have liked to see you wipe the tires with a white towel to check which one is cleaner

[@Jeeper1378]

Iron remover is not needed for most people that care for their cars. Heck i use reg soap at times. Expensive but cant wait to try Auto Fantastics revised foam cannon wheel cleaner.

[@LeJunny]

Iron remover is actually pretty crucial, it dissolves any residue you might've not picked up while scrubbung. It's like saying using a clay bar is useless just use a brush to remove the dirt

[@LeJunny]

@@robbieeeeeee7 no matter how well you maintain your car there a lot of things beyond your power that can contaminate your car like 10mi drives to work, your car being parked under trees all day long, and windy conditions. Of course I'm not suggesting to clay your car every month but it doesn't hurt to do it once or twice a year

[@robbieeeeeee7]

[@aaron30569]

I also use p&s when my wheels are dry, idk feels like it cleans better on dry wheels

[@weaverdetails4747]

Brakebuster is 20 bucks a gallon and Adams is 40. As an enthusiast, the longest I will go is two weeks without washing my car. I don’t even need brakebuster at full strength. Adams will stain vinyl and clear bras if excess product gets sprayed on as well as paint if not rinsed IMMEDIATELY. Brakebuster has corrosion inhibitors and can even be sprayed onto paint to loosen up big guts without damage.

[@BillCollins53]

I used to use a lot of Adams products, then started a detailing business on the side. Had to find much cheaper, bulk options. So far Nanoskin is the way to go.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

its a great product line for sure.

[@wrightvideos2011]

I used the Adam’s this past Saturday and the bottle I used didn’t foam as much as yours did. I moved the nozzle around and it didn’t make much of a difference in the spray. Used about half a bottle for all four tires on my car. For me, when a tire and wheel is dirty and very brown, a cleaner that runs down more of that brown color is a better cleaner.

[@artvandelay9374]

For some reason the Adams just leaves the tire with a great natural look. Clean but not dry chalky clean. Probably their best product in my opinion. Not speaking as an Adams fanboy just what my experience was with that cleaner

[@everybitfitmesaazpersonalf4021]

Adams is usually the more powerful tire cleaner. I just purchased P&S Brakebuster in substitution of my Adams and Sonax wheel and tire cleaners. Pan the Organizer was pushing P&S so I assumed it would be a great product too. Wrong, your analysis of Adams wheel cleaner is spot on. Needless to say, I’m back to Adams and Sonax!

[@brad8354]

Exactly the experience I had watching Pan and trying. I’m disappointed in P&S.

[@saulmtz7309]

Clearly P&S is the winner.

[@FYRARMS]

I have switched from other wheel and tire cleaners to P&S Brake Buster due to the extreme value of the gallon size. I agitate with a Speedmaster brush anyway. However, I recently added a foaming spray head to my Brake Buster bottle and was blown away at how much better the Brake Buster performed! The added dwell time made all the difference. While the product used to run off too quickly before, now the foam just hangs out and does some work. I really don't need to agitate any more. I highly recommend foaming the P&S.

[@stijnmaertens9491]

What's your dilution ratio in the foamer?

[@FYRARMS]

@@stijnmaertens9491 I do a 50/50 dilution because it is just a spray bottle with a foaming head.

Thank you. Change comes with some backlash. Glad you see the value in improving like I do.

Great video!! For shits and giggles though you should have sprayed the adam's on the p&s side and vice versa.

[@maxjimenez1023]

Honestly I always spray wheel cleaner or APC without rinsing the wheel and tire I feel like you get better Results, Adams for the win

[@autodetailingpodcast]

i agree.

[@rolandotristan8105]

I just received my P And S brake buster in and used it yesterday was not impressed with it. I'll go back to what I was doing with wheels and tires, I agree with you on if you agitated any cleaner it will work great.

[@kabes-us]

I love the way you think. The test should be touchless if you want to get a true showing of what the product does. I admired your video on these coating toppers too. What’s the point of using a coating if you are just going to top it. How do you really know how well the actual coating is performing. I know you’ve taken some heat from viewers but honestly I think you are approaching it the right way and are asking all the right questions!

[@senkofam]

The start to this video reminds me of that MTV commerical from way back in the day what was it before the mtv news or something cant remember.

[@ManuelSanchez-kf2np]

Super Clean full strength, Wheel Brush, Tire Brush , some elbow grease, DONe.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

thats def another way to do it.

[@sle6497]

Simple Green works very well on tires cleaning. It also works good to remove bugs and engine cleaning. Best part, it is biodegradable.

[@zachbarker4254]

I think because brake buster has inhibitors in it it's not the same as Adam's. Adam's is a strong apc per Adam's. I personally dont want a really strong apc used on my wheels. You should test adams against a straight apc. Try Adam's against purple power or super clean. Something along that line. No matter what at the price point of $40 for a gallon of Adam's its not worth using. You can get several other cleaners for under $20 for a gallon.

[@johnraspberry2269]

I'm just using a small water bowl with palmolive dish soap and a sponge. It works great. much cheaper solution than those sprays....

[@ilovethefive4616]

The Meguiar's Hot Rims has acid cleaner where the P&S and Adams is not.

[@bbdetailing9123]

Would have been fun to swap sides. After you did the test, do a 2nd round but swap products. That way, you see if Adam's removed any more over the PnS side, and if PnS removed more over the Adam's side

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I should have done that. Great idea.

[@christoth8632]

You probably need to use more product, especially with the brake dust those brembos leave behind

I love p and s because it doesnt create that surface rust on the rotor and prevents it also.

[@Robert-S-]

I would've been curious to see what would happen if you did 2 passes. First Pass just like in the video, PS on one and Adams on the 2nd tire. Then flip the products , so 2nd pass with PS on Adams tire, and Adams on the PS tire. Would be interesting to see if you still get browning from both cleaners on the 2nd pass.

Does Adams have a rust inhibitor? The thing I like about P&S is that it has rust inhibitors in it so your brake calipers aren't throwing brown rust flakes all over your car after the wash

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I ran out of my 2nd gallon of BB. Bought a gallon of Adams TWC. Straight i like it better than BB. On my tires I could never get white foam. Did take two passes with Adams but it was white (and red).

Most tires mounting soaps and lube has it. tires will get some condensation inside from constant temp swings in the tire. It also helps with corrosion.
