Mothers Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner, 24 oz. – Foaming Action Lifts Brake Dust & Grime, Safe for Factory-Coated Wheels, Restores, Cleans, Finishes Fast, Spot-Free Rinse (05924)

It works great! Had to scrub just a little, but as soon as you spray it on, you can start seeing the dirt run off. We'll worth the price. With so many products out there, I've used Mothers products before and I think they are good quality, as this tire and wheel cleaner is. Will definitely buy it again.

Save time

The liquid inside is 4.5 stars. It works great and is easy to use. The only complain I would have is that the spray-on/hose-off claim isn't quite there yet - at least not on my wheels. You need a VERY powerful stream of water to do the job. My water pressure is 60-65 psi which is fairly good, but either my hose nozzle or something isn't quite good enough. My small electric pressure washer, however, does the trick. I spritz on a mist of this stuff and the pressure washer with a medium to medium-wide fan nozzle gets the wheels perfectly clean. This product is also great if you are actually using a brush or mitt or other gadget to clean your wheels. It's a great substitute for car soap or dishwashing soap. For this you can dilute the product with water 1:1 or more and it's still highly effective. Another thing that works is dilute with 2 parts water and put it in a small pump-up style sprayer (mostly found for garden use) and the solution at 1 part cleaner with 2 parts water, sprayed under pressure with the right setting, will literally wash everything off the wheels. You'll need a rinse afterwards but for nasty brake dust cases and where you don't get good results with your hose, this might work better. Anything beats having to scrub every nook and cranny by hand... Another issue is that the foaming action seems a bit of a gimmick and just takes too dang long. For a product that is supposed to make cleaning your wheels faster, it takes a LONG time to pump that trigger enough times to coat your wheels in foam. Honestly - I buy the gallon jugs and dump it into my own sprayer with a stronger force and a good mist pattern. After doing two cars with that foaming trigger my hand was cramping! I don't know who at Mother's has used that trigger for more than one car but it's painfully slow. The foam is great, but they need a better way to do it. What this product really needs is a pressurized dispenser that you refill. You pump that sucker up and it spews foam like a foam cannon you buy for the rest of the car. Which causes me to think - I wonder how this would work in my foam cannon? (Gotta go try that next to see if just adding the product and dispensing with the foam cannon is faster - it should be!). If the foam cannon works I'll update this review accordingly. Since this product is so effective even when diluted a foam cannon on the most concentrated setting might foam all 8 wheels on my two cars in seconds and save me even more time.

Great product the really cleans and does not stain your rims.

I recently bought Mother's wheel brush Mothers Wheel & Wheel Well Long Handled Brush and after using it posted a review with before and after photos. The brush did a nice job, but left a couple of tough stains behind. I purchased Mothers foaming wheel cleaning to see if I can get those tough stains out. I covered the wheel with the foam, brushed with mother's wheel brush for about 2-3 minutes, and hosed off. Wow - no more stains! I was impressed. And, of course, it did an excellent job with the break dust. I have never seen my wheel that clean with just the car washing solution. I recently had back surgery, and still have discomfort when bending down. So it is very important for me to find products that work well without putting much strain on my back. I am very pleased! I am attaching before and after photos of the wheel, as well as a photo of the bottle next to a pen for relative size. I will post an update when the bottle is empty. It will be interesting to know exactly how many washes I get out of the bottle. I did not think I used much of the bottle content, the bottle still feels heavy. Note on price: I purchased this product on Amazon for under $8, as I am writing this review the price is $10. So the price on the on this product fluctuates. There is a nice online tool that I use to help catch a good price on Amazon, this tool is called "Online Price Alert". This tool will send you an email when the Amazon item price reaches the target price range that you specify. If you search on "online price alert" in Google it will be come up at the top. I find this tool to be very helpful.

So this was kind of a love/hate experience. It worked great when I used it. That being said, I got about four (? I wasn't counting) car washes out of a bottle. Which doesn't seem like a lot considering the cost. So does it work? Yes absolutely. And the Mothers rim/tire brush works great with it. But, it just doesn't last.

The best I’ve ever had for cleaning tires.

Great product
