most effective method of applying power clean

[darrvao777]

i primarily use power clean to clean my wheels

is it more efficient or effective to use it in a foamer or a conventional sprayer?

I've never used Power Clean in a foamer, but have tried every ratio.  How strong the mix is dependent on how big the job.  For really nasty wheels I spray 100% PC, for lessor jobs I've gone 50/50 or 1:3.  Videos of Yvan using with a foamer on his bus are quite impressive, for what it's worth.

I use a ik 1.5 liter foamer works well nice even coat of foam on wheels . Then put a little on my wheel brush and wash

Foamers seem to be a hot item now (get lots of questions concerning how to use) - I haven't tried one yet and haven't felt the need (cars don't get really dirty and don't do high volume detailing).

Thanks for following back up on this thread

In the end, I've experimented with both methods over the past few months and I still find using a spray bottle is the most effective for me

For wheels, I find it is more the agitation rather than the foam vs spray or even dilution strength that cleans the wheels and tires for me

For the body, I find there's more control using the spray bottle whereas it can be difficult to control the foam spray sometimes (I know I've seen people use this briefly on glass but I still prefer avoiding glass with Power clean if possible)
