Thanks Tim! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment

I hardly ever use the Adam’s straight up. The person at the Adam’s store was probably just trying to make sure they sell more product

I used it full strength one time and one time only. Every other application was at 5:1 because it’s so damn strong! Good bang for the buck to me because it truly does clean tires to a black state unlike other degreasers I’ve used in the past.

So I went to local Adam's store (yes, we have a local Adam's retail outlet) and they suggested I get their eco wheel cleaner. I don't think it did an amazing job, and it cautions to not let a single speck of the fluid dry on the wheel of the entire universe will implode into a black-hole formed by what once was the wheels attached to the car. It is scary stuff, although it's good as a joint pain reliever. I got some on my hands and now I can't feel a thing. The Adam's store is good if you want to buy Adam's products. Not so good for not-Adam's products.

@ej7863do you buy the gallon size?

@ej7863 what should I dilute adams gallon size?

What did you think about the P&S?

Which 3D nano wheel cleaner do you use? I went to their site and they only showed yellow degreaser as "wheel cleaner."

I’ve noticed that the P&S isn’t the best at removing stubborn brake duster. Better suited as a maintenance cleaner imo

I'm guessing to eliminate cross contamination. They might want just the hand held foamer to be for when they clean wheels which are much smaller than the rest of the vehicle. Of course after you are done with either you should run water through them to clean out any residual chemicals. Also to cut down using much stronger chemicals through the cannon. I'm just guessing here. I'm not a professional detailer but it's just an educated guess. I hope this helps.

I’ve actually never tried a wheel cleaner in my foam cannon. Mr. Huss correct. I have two foam cannons. One mainly for ph balanced gentle car wash soaps and one for stronger alkaline soaps/strip washes.

A foam cannon dilutes the chemical with water from the hose. The maximum concentration you can get with a foam cannon is around 7-1, and that's with a low gpm pressure washer.

update?

@@Ligma7232 so I haven’t used the adams but I’ve filled a 1/4 to 1/2 of my foamer with brake buster and added water and been wasting it just to get rid of it and now it makes the tire brown but I’m using it in a much concentrated way but I’ll let you know about the adams here shortly as I have to clean my wife’s suv

Me too

They really are. If I had to stick with one over the other, I’d choose the Adam’s

@@TheCarDetailingChannel same here.

You are essentially diluting the product that comes in a gallon or in a smaller bottle from the store to make it last longer. Any product used as is without diluting it will of course work as well as it possibly can because its as strong as it can be. When you dilute the product with water, it becomes a little weaker but it still does a great job at cleaning. Benefit of diluting the product is that it will last much longer saving you money in the long run. 4:1 Dilution ratio works like this. For example in an empty bottle, you add 400ml of distilled water and then you add 100ml of the product (wheel cleaner). Now you have 500ml of solution that you can mix up and use in a foam cannon, in a spray bottle or in an iK Foam pro used in this video. You now have 500ml of solution that can be used to clean all the wheels but you only used 100ml of the actual product saving you 400ml of product. For other applications, you can dilute it even more to a 10:1 ratio saving you even more product. You'd get 1100ml solution (1000ml of water and 100ml of product) to clean the same wheel or tires. Now it will be even weaker than 4:1 ratio so you'll just have to apply the solution couple of times to get the tires fully clean. Hope that helps. Cheers!

Couldn’t have said it better myself

Hey Russ. While a true ceramic coating should be resistant to both of these products, I think the coating will still take a slight hit every you use a wheel cleaner that's not ph neutral.

I would dilute 4:1 for the wheels if you have a wheel coating.

Wheel Brightner is a very strong acid based wheel cleaner. I wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary

I have no idea. It was purple when I first bought it. Maybe because it’s relatively old (a year). Still works the same though

@@TheCarDetailingChannel interesting. I have an almost 2 year old 1 gallon jug and color hasn't changed. Wonder if you kept it in the garage and the temperature made it change

I was wondering same thing...Adams is usually purple...ive never seen it blue.

1 inch thick rubber tiles cut into strips

@@TheCarDetailingChannel May I know where can one buy those tiles?

I got them from my local Homedepot. Are you in Canada or the USA?

@@TheCarDetailingChannel I am in Ontario

Use a foam sprayer, a popular one is IK Foam Pro 2. If you want more foam out of it, you could add an ounce of your favorite car soap to your foamer or foam cannon.

That is true for fresh brake dust. I was more curious to see which one is better at cleaning tires

Sad but true

I’ve never tried the tire and rubber cleaner from Adam’s. Before Tire and wheel cleaners became a thing, I’d use Spray Nine on the tires and Meguiars wheel brightner on wheels (if caked)

The last bit of my gallon changed from a pink/purple to a blue for some reason. It's odd because i've always stored it in a cool, dark place.

naw u might be onto something 🤣

Yes, agreed

IF I had to pick and couldn’t change my decision … Adam’s all day long. What’s your go-to wheel cleaner?

No response on the towels, hunh? Well, I'm probably going to go down to Masterson's today. They've got some pretty decent pricing on microfiber towels. Mine seem to get clogged up with mineral deposits from our brutally hard water here. It's like 750ppm dissolved solids. I don't think it's illegal, but it's a lot. Washing towels doesn't clean them, it just saturates them with calcium and lime and all sorts of other dissolved minerals. I guess it's that way because the water company stores it's water in natural underground aquifers that are, guess what, giant natural stone cisterns. Lots of sandstone around here. I try cleaning my car and I end up smearing as much dirt on it as I clean off it. It's annoying. Entropy. Mother Nature. I hate all that stuff.
