My thoughts on Poorboy's Spray & Rinse wheel cleaner

O4cobra · 02-26-05, 12:06

I had passed this product up a cpouple of time due to me thinking I didn't really need a wheel cleaner in my arsenal. I usually washed the whels with an old wash mitt. Well lately I have been not wanting to wash my wheels just because they are such a pain in the butt to clean. I used it on my wheels when I washed the car this morning and was pleasantly surprised! So with PAC's sale I picked some up, and here are my thoughts!! By the way, the test subject is an 84 Toyota PU. It's my father's extra vehicle for getting dirt, and taking things you need a truck for. It justs sit on the side of the house about 360 days a year!!

Poorboys Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner

Packaging: S&R comes in the standard Poorboy's 32oz plastic bottle. The instructions on the bottle are pretty minimal, but it's a pretty simple product.

Application: I used the product full strength. I will try some dillution levels in the future, but for now, full strength is the test! I made about 8-10 sprays a wheel on this truck. I let it sit for about 30 seconds. I then sprayed the wheel down with the stream setting on the hose!

Smell: The smeel is I guess a lemon scent. A very nice scent. While using it you get a wiff of it from time to time and is very pleasant.

Personal Opinion: This is a new product in my arsenal. I used to use A2Z a long time ago, but I think this is as good if not better. I really like the way the title of the product reflects what the product does. It reall is a Spray and Rinse product. Once you spray you can watch the junk just "melt" off of the wheel. And when you rinse off the wheel, it's cleaner than you can imagine! Does the product have a home with me, yes. I will be a gallon member in the near future!

Price: Reg.$14.95 (On sale $12.95)

Size: 32oz (Also available in Gallons)

If I missed anything or if you have any questions, pleae ask!

Nice review!

If you put some protection on your wheels, try the S & R diluted 50/50, as it will be less likely to remove the protective coating, but still clean nicely.

As a matter of fact, using Poorboy's Wheel Sealant, while maintaining with the S & R at the 50/50 dilution, seems to work extremely well.

Works well, but some wheels require very slight agitation (like ALL wheels in my experience). S&R is strong stuff, I strongly recommend you rinse out the chemical resistant sprayer or else it will eat away at the seals. (I've had that same occurance... scary =() Great product for professionals!

Good review. I really like the new PB products and the old ones as well. My only concern would be cost: A2Z is less expensive.

Thanks for the review.

I prefer the A2Z for ease to buy and price, but the PB does work pretty well.
