Found an OLD gallon...
StubStang replied to StubStang's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I knew someone out there still had it!! LOL -
Evening All, I was doing some prep for the winter and while rummaging around the garage I happened to find this old gallon of Green Wheel Cleaner. At the time, it was Adam's new hybrid formula for deep wheel cleaner made to impact the environment less while having a less potent smell. Purchased in 2015 and she still looks pretty darn good!

Dilution of Deep Wheel Cleaner

Yeah this was what I was afraid of, thank you for the warning! -
Dilution of Deep Wheel Cleaner

*Painted wheels pose many challenges* lol. I checked the ratio chart, I'll most likely do the 1:1 dilution ratio or try out the iron decon, either seem like they won't damage the paint. -

In short I have to treat the rims like the car paint? Because thats a pain in the theoretical buns. -
Dilution of Deep Wheel Cleaner

i do have the newer version of it, but should i still be cautious about it? -
Hi all, I recently sold the Mustang and picked up a 2017 GTI. The GTI comes with painted rims and using car shampoo is a pain and doesn't necessarily clean the wheels deep enough. I have a tn of deep wheel cleaner at my expense. What is the ratio I should use to dilute the deep wheel cleaner so I won't hurt the paint on the rims? Thanks!

As a Mustang owner, I've learned a couple of things. One: The interiors produced before 2015 were total garbage. The plastic is tacky, the cloth rips and other components tend to wear down very easily. HOWEVER, I do find that the leather conditioner does a surprising wonder on the faux leather and plastic material. Creates a clean look! Two: If you have expectations of having a car without issues (in terms of Ford products), get rid of them. Ive had one hood with rust issues and another one thats starting the process all over again. Also having some clear coat issues on other areas even though they've been protected and such. However, even though theres some issues, I still love the car to death! To answer your question of cleaning your interior (keep in mind that I do NOT have a premium interior package), I use waterless wash to get any dirt/ residue off of the plastic and faux plastic, wipe to dry etc. When applying the conditioner, I use very small amounts and spread the conditioner on the red application pad with my hand (using gloves). This would properly spread the conditioner on the surface in which you would like it to be applied to. It would also get rid of your smudge issue. In terms of amount used per panel, my best example would be the size of a nickel for the first half of the door that includes plastic and faux leather. I'd suggest more for the other parts, should come out ok after! Hope this helps!

StubStang replied to StubStang's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
It did! the car hasn't had swirl removal in a while but the paint and clear coat are still in pretty good shape. I won't mind doing various passes, I just don't wanna mess up the paint! I like the idea of going the safe route, especially if it still offers positive results! -

I read the chart! I wanna hear what people think about different machines and then ultimately make a decision -

I have the detail spray, clay bar, soft towels and paint sealant .I've been using these products for the past two years (hand applied the paint sealant) I read the chart on the adams website but I wanted peoples opinions, what they liked more and so on!
