Cleaner Comparison

ProFoam™ vs T&T Cleaner

Real-World Foam Cleaner Comparison for Tractors & Equipment

T&T Cleaner helped establish foam cleaning as the standard across agriculture.

Protect Systems was proud to help introduce it across the United States as the official distributor.

But after years of real-world use, operators continued asking for the same improvements:

  • Longer cling time
  • Better performance in heat and sunlight
  • Full-machine foaming without rushing
  • Reduced brushing and labor
  • Better surface safety on metals and paint
  • Better cleaning of winter salt solutions

Watch Side-by-Side Testing

That is exactly why ProFoam™ was developed.

This is not a comparison between good and bad.

This is a comparison between what existed and what came next.

The ProFoam™ Difference

What Changes When Foam Stays Active Longer

The biggest difference between ProFoam™ and traditional foam cleaners is dwell time.

ProFoam™ was engineered to remain active longer so the chemistry has more time to break down dirt, grease, road film, rubber residue, and contamination before rinsing.

That changes how equipment gets cleaned in the real world.

Instead of:

  • foaming small sections
  • rushing before the product dries
  • switching constantly between foaming and rinsing

Now operators can foam larger sections or entire machines with more consistent results.

Real-World Testing on Equipment

The differences become obvious during real-world use.

These are not controlled lab demonstrations. They are real operators using real equipment in real conditions.

In side-by-side combine tire testing:

  • Traditional foam cleaner was nearly gone within minutes
  • ProFoam™ remained active for over 20 minutes
  • Foam continued turning brown as contamination was lifted from the tire surface

In full-machine testing on a John Deere 9570RX:

  • ProFoam™ remained visible and active for over 50 minutes
  • Operators reduced foam cannon settings because less product was required
  • Entire machines were foamed at once instead of washed in sections

Real-World ProFoam™ Testing

Chris Perkins – Banded Ag | Otwell, Indiana

“I am really impressed with what is hanging on the tracks. So, it is 30 minutes of being applied. That was on setting 2 on the cannon. So, we’re using less, a lot less. It’s eating off better.”

Chris used ProFoam™ for the first time while washing his John Deere 9570RX. During testing, ProFoam™ remained active on the tractor for over 50 minutes while maintaining foam stability and cleaning performance.

Lynn DeNeve – DeNeve Enterprises | Victor, Iowa

“We foamed the whole truck, the foam was on the truck for 30 to 40 minutes and it stuck.”

Lynn tested ProFoam™ while washing equipment exposed to winter road salt and contamination. He noted improved cleaning performance, reduced brushing, and better compatibility on aluminum surfaces. Lynn talks about how he can’t use T&T Cleaner on polished aluminum.

Why Operators Are Switching to ProFoam™

Most operators already understood the value of foam cleaning.

What they wanted was a product that worked better in real conditions.

ProFoam™ allows operators to:

  • Foam entire tractors and combines without rushing
  • Reduce wash time and labor
  • Use less product while maintaining stronger foam
  • Improve cleaning consistency across large equipment
  • Wash more effectively in heat and low humidity
  • Reduce brushing on paint, rubber, and polished surfaces

Once operators use both side by side, the difference becomes difficult to ignore.

The Goal Was Never to Reinvent Foam Cleaning

The goal was to improve it.

T&T Cleaner helped move the industry forward.

ProFoam™ was developed from everything operators learned after years of using foam cleaners in real agricultural environments.

That is what operators were asking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ProFoam™ replacing T&T Cleaner?

ProFoam™ was developed as the next generation of foam cleaning technology based on years of real-world operator feedback and testing. Dealers and most operators are now transitioning to ProFoam™ after side-by-side testing.

Does ProFoam™ really stay on longer?

Yes. Real-world testing consistently shows significantly longer dwell and cling time compared to traditional foam cleaners. This additional time improves cleaning, especially on warmer days.

Why does ProFoam™ turn brown on tires?

The foam is lifting contamination and rubber residue from the surface during dwell time.

Because ProFoam™ remains wet longer, contamination can be rinsed away more effectively instead of drying back onto the surface.

Can ProFoam™ clean an entire combine or tractor at once?

Under normal conditions, yes. Its extended dwell time allows operators to foam larger sections or entire machines before rinsing.

Is ProFoam™ safe on polished aluminum?

When used properly, yes. Pre-rinsing aluminum before application is recommended.

Wash Faster. Protect Easier.

Still washing in sections before the foam disappears?
