IK Foamer...not great?

So I did some (minimal) research and found a few people saying IK Foamer + Griot's wheel cleaner (50/50 mixture with water) is the way to go.

Well I've washed my wheels twice and already went through the 22oz bottle. The foam just isn't consistent and results are not as good as SONAX Beast that I used previously.

Think I'll be going bank to the Beast unless someone can offer up advice/different experience.

Thanks!!

best bang for buck is buy a separate foam cannon just for wheels, and use P&S brake buster in the cannon non diluted, about $30 a gallon. Cleans both tires and wheels.

P&S is the way to go. Very happy with its products.

Adams wheels and tire cleaner is the best I have used. You can dilute it 4:1 as well and it still cuts thru the crud. For heavily soiled applications apply a second spraying.

I'm using the IK foamer and P&S Brakebuster (buy gallon jug) diluted at 10:1. Still need to agitate wheels but works well.
