The tire foam does the job of loosening the dirt and crud like i said so all you have to really do is rinse it off.
Greetings Kenny,

I often use Tire foam cleaners for tires. On the cans (3 brands I've used) - each says to avoid spray on painted surfaces or metals.

The reasoning I had - was that Tire foams are a petroleum based product (to work well with rubber) - but that it is too hard on paint and metal surfases - actually softening or weakening any clear coat or painted surfaces. Does the tire foam product you are using allow spray on painted items or metal surfaces?
