Never Using Adam's Wheel Cleaner Again!

[BRZN]

Well, except for use on customers cars once I have all my own vehicles wheels coated with his Ceramic Wheel Coating. I believe all I'll need from now on is just soap and water!

 

I coated the wheels on my wife's Volvo just before Christmas, and haven't had the opportunity to wash the car since then. It's been two months, and this is her daily driver that's outside 24/7/365.

Temperatures here in the Northeast are in the high 50's low 60's this weekend, so her car got a nice detail including  a wipe-down application of HGG.

 

I started the detail as I always do, with the wheels. They looked ridiculously clean to start with, we had the car out in the rain last weekend for a 160 mile round trip outing. I sprayed the inner fenders, tires and wheels off with clear water from the hose and noticed most any dirt still on the wheels roll right off. Odd, there was no beading of the water on the wheel surface. I washed the wheels with just Car Shampoo and water from my prepared bucket. Once everything I'd sprayed down prior to sudsing up was taken care of I rinsed it all off. The wheels were perfectly spotlessly clean! Oh, and once wiped off with the soapy water the beading was back to the wheels and brake calipers that had all be Coated in December.

 

Game changer? Not enough time with the coating to say so yet, but it sure took time and effort off of the wheel cleaning.

Looks like I need to order some wheel coating. Have tried other competitors and wasn't impressed at all. Looks like adams has the winner

I had ordered a brand new set of wheels in December and also put the cermic on them before I even put tires on! Can't wait to put them on and see the coating in action. Might steer me in the direction of doing the whole car

Your trim coating still looks great!

[BRZN]

Yea, the vehicle's Trim still looks like it did when I first applied it.

Dave, did you coat the barrels as well?

Brian, it's absolutely worth pulling the wheels to clean them and coat them. Most of the brake dust dwells in the barrels so being able to clean it with a hose is totally worth the effort.

Great results! The coatings definitely look like an awesome product!

 

Just a thought though, maybe change the title of your thread, as someone searching with a search engine may think it's a negative review of the product?

Nice to hear good things about a great product Dave.

Yea Brian, I did the barrels too. Check out the attached link at the beginning of the thread, it'll take you to the write up I did regarding my procedure.

Did that on purpose Joel Figured it'll help bring more folks into the thread!

I did the barrels on mine but you have to be carefull with stick on wheel weights. Mine didn't stick well at first. Had to play with them a bit. I would suggest not coating the small section where weights will be placed. Just use sealant there.

This stuff is SLICK!
