I have tried a lot of products and this one has impressed me the most by far. I have OEM Mercedes brake pads and if you are a MB Owner, you know they put out a LOT of brake dust. What impressed me the most is that if you spray this cleaner on your wheels and allow it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes and spray if off with a hose/nozzle that has a good velocity, it will remove 90% of the brake dust!!!. I use it weekly and only have to use mild agitation to get my wheels clean. It also claims to be safe on all types of wheels, which is really important to me since I have aftermarket wheels. Don’t waste your money on any other wheel cleaner, especially P21S. Mothers FX Wheel Cleaner is hard to beat for the price. One word of caution, make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. It gives off some fumes that can make you cough if you get too close as you are spraying it.

I used this a few times during commute conditions and it did so-so, managing to loosen most of the dust as long as there wasn’t too much, but after 2 days of spirited driving at Laguna Seca, it just couldn’t handle it and I ended up having to resort to good-ole Simple Green and a scrub brush. The initial application left large areas uncleaned, despite following instructions *and* having applied Green Earth Technologies Brake Dust Shield

Aside from that, the fumes are toxic (coughing fit after spraying the last wheel) and 24oz don’t really go that far – 3 applications tops.

If I try some other product, I’m going to look into brush application rather than spraying (fewer fumes and more direct contact with the surface) but at the moment, a good bio-degradable all-purpose cleaner like Simple Green

Oh, and as for the brush, don’t bother with the Mothers Double Loop Brake Dust Brush – it just doesn’t have the chops, see my review there for full details.

I am still waiting for this product to arrive, seems to be be somewhere in Kentucky. Perhaps fell off the conveyor belt en route to me. Wait time is 1 month and counting…..
