My wife drove her car down a road that was being resurfaced but still allowed vehicles to pass through. In doing so, the vehicle became covered in this fine silty/sandy dirt that was a beast to wash off. After an hour of power washing the vehicle top to bottom (and underneath), the below picture is what the wheels still looked like.
I figured this would be a good test of the Adam's Ultimate Wheel and Tire kit that I just bought. I cleaned the tire and undercarriage with APC and the wheel with DWC. I followed up with Tire Shine on the tires and Quick Sealant on the wheels. You can see the transformation below:
All in all, a fun project and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Here were my thoughts on the project and Adam's products:
This was my first time to do a major wheel cleaning and treatment. People were not exaggerating when they said how grimy this work is. I felt like I needed two showers after I was finished.
I wasn't sure whether I'd like or really use the Fender Brush but it's great. I can't imagine how I would clean the wheel well without it.
For the edges of the tire with deep grooves, I couldn't get enough direct pressure on the Fender Brush to get in all the nooks and crannies. I ended up using a brush I previously bought that fits in my palm and allows me to push directly into the tire. I will definitely pick up the Adam's Deep Clean Tire Scrub Brush before I do the wheels again.
First time I've used the Tire Shine--love it! I've previously used the VRT but TS just takes it to a new level. I used the method Adam talks about in the video that provides medium shine and I'm really happy with it. And the smell made me hungry for 'nana puddin'.
After all the cleaning and finishing, I parked the car on the street in front of my house and hit the wheel wells with the Undercarriage Spray (also first time to use). I loved how it made the car look afterwards. And my garage smelled like grape soda this morning, which is a bonus.
