Brake Buster

Brake Buster was actually the first wheel cleaner I started using, and to be fair, it does a solid job. It’s a non-acidic, alkaline formula (pH ~10–11) that removes brake dust, road grime, and light corrosion without being harsh on most wheel finishes. It also foams up nicely and doubles as a tire cleaner.

BUT — I’ve since switched to Dark Fury, and personally, I think it’s way better in terms of cleaning power and overall feel. Still, Brake Buster is a great starting point if you want something safe and easy to use.

✅ safe and easy to use
✅ Foams up well and works on wheels and tires
✅ Non-acidic (pH ~10–11) = safer for wheels
❌ Dark Fury just hits harder for me because you can use it for pre-wash😎
✅ Great first pick, but I’ve leveled up since then
