- In this video Sydni shows her favorite old school contamination removal product- Crystal Wash as a pre spray to assist in removing caked on brake dust and particles prior treating with Brake Buster. Its a great 1-2 punch!
Great vid/content! Any chance of getting a more in-depth vid on Crystal Wash? 🤞🤞
I really like the video, this helps to better see and understand your process. I am mobile and yes I did have a customer complain about the staining on his driveway due to the IRON BUSTER I used. Most of it washed away but the tires trapped some and hence his complaint.
Rinsing the driveway down before doing Iron Buster helps to prevent staining.
@@ronayotte3571 yes, this always if having to use Iron Buster
New label is 🔥
Hi, James , p&s brake buster VS Adams tire & wheel cleaner VS Turtlewax hybrid wheel cleaner & tire prep ?
Thanks Sydni. Good job on the editing.
Great video Sydni thanks for all the tips and tricks.
No problem! Thanks for watching - SBG
Great video and review appreciate all the content.
My pleasure! - SBG
Would this work on those oem matte black G wagon wheels. Those are the worst.
So, does this tackle traffic film as well, or is it not that kind of product? Or would mud buster do better for that? I have a feeling Crystal Wash will, but wanted to check. How about water spots?
I'm afraid to use anything with the word acid on my gloss black powder coated wheels(shampoo only). Will this process affect gloss PC finishes?
ok so yeah, love it, but as an acidic there must be wheels and areas to avoid? also, how is this diff from the iron buster brake buster combo im currently using thats works so well? cheaper? safer? etc...
Its going to be safe on most surfaces but like with any product we recommend test spot first. The ones to watch as far as wheels, are those wheels you'd watch with any product. Crystal Wash is meant to dry and crystalize in some applications, so you have a great working time. Iron Buster is a phenomenal product, but is much stronger and as mentioned in the video it creates a bit more of a mess, so Crystal Wash is a great 1st line of defense for Mobile, home shop users, etc- to avoid some mess/smell issues. Think if you're in a commercial area, or a neighborhood you could get complaints. So its an alternative, allowing you to save Iron Buster for when you really need it! Crystal wash is a bit more economical price point for those who like to use a fall out remover on every car. SBG
SBG can we find out if Crystal Wash can be (or iron buster) on magnesium wheels, one of my most special clients has a new porsche and i want to safely clean them but im not too comfortable with anything other than just brake buster 1:1
He was pressure washing them only the first 2500 miles then not drying them, I noticed some staining (hardwater brake dust)that brake buster alone cant handle.
Please help

So can you use crystal wash in place of an iron remover?
Yea
Sydni you must love red cars lol
100%
Is crystal wash safe for anodized wheels
Why would you put a base on top of an acid? Ie the brake buster would neutralize the mild acid in Crystal wash.
Is this true? Anyone else agree with this comment ?
@@realdopewaterbrake buster is alkaline so yes, it would neutralize anything acidic.
Ideally you would let crystal wash sit for a few minutes before neutralizing it with another cleaner from what I’ve seen on other videos .
This kind of chemistry gets ridiculously complex. It's not always the same type of reaction as baking soda and vinegar resulting in a neutral solution.
The crystal wash likely reacts immediately with the brake dust and forms a type of salt that is easier for the brake buster to remove.
There are also conjugate acids and bases that can form, resulting in a cleaner that acts like both an acid and a base.
Bottom line is that it seems to be working pretty effectively in the video demonstration.
Iam curious what's the vehicle those awesome wheels are on?😊
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT
Sydni, I'm a little confused. I thought Crystal Wash was supposed to dry on the surface, but you didn't do that. Can you explain? Thanks.
On paint that is true, or most ideal. With the concentration sprayed on the wheels it’s gonna be a while before it dries. In this process we are using it to start the breakaway of the contaminants, making it significantly easier to clean the wheels
Hi Sydni, is there there a reason why you did not use an IK foamer with your Brake Buster to help with the cleaning of your tire & wheel? Thanks!
Hey it’s Sydni, personally- because I can’t keep them from clogging so I don’t use them. I use the multi but not the foamer
Would you not be better off with a pre rinse after the crystal wash so that you’re not working the brake dust into the wheels?
No I like to use them together during agitation
Where can I order the spray bottle from?
It was just loaded on our site today, and we just uploaded a full use video on this product
Does your floor have a drain or it is coated with something underneath the Swisstracks tiles? Would love to use my garage to wash but I’m weary of all the water sitting on straight concrete, even if I had these flooring tiles
Floor is graded a bit so it runs out in to a channel that can with be sucked out or evaporated depending on time of year
What is the dilution ratio you are using on Crystal Wash, or just full strength.
Full strength
Did you dilute Brake buster or did you use it Straight??? Thank You
Straight
How is Crystal Wash similar and/or different than Iron Buster?
They are both fallout removers, however different chemical make up. Crystal Wash is a mild acid. Iron Buster will bleed the iron particles into a purple foam and crystal wash will actually crystalize around the particles to aid in removal. Iron Buster is going to be stronger when needed for things like rail dust. both are solid products and have their place.
If I use crystal wash for a paint decon do I follow up with pearl to neutralize it or simply washing it off after a few minutes be okay?
Yep
Went on The Rag Company and couldn’t find Crystal Wash can you please leave a link for it

TRC doesn’t carry it
👍
Where can I pick up one of those shirts that you're wearing
Haha. Those are actually my personal business shop shirts- Buff Like A girl- SBG
Is there a smaller size of the crystal wash sold than a gallon size?
I was wondering the same thing. I don’t see even an empty 32oz bottle available on the site.
No, but trust me you’ll want a gallon. Spray bottles are now available
Can you please show how to use Crystal Wash on paint?
That video is coming! :)
This is awesome what’s the link to purchase the 32oz bottle didn’t see this size on your website
Thank you Ryan
can brake buster be used to de oxydize a single stage paint ?
It will certainly help
Can u use on car paint?
Absolutely
How does crystal wash compare to knock off?
Knock off is a non acid wheel cleaner like Brake Buster
@@PandSDetailProducts and crystal wash is more like a decon comparable to an iron remover but without the mess
