I have plenty of the old cans too!

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!

Yeah this was what I was afraid of, thank you for the warning!

*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.

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!

This will have to wait: new tires need to be purchased.

Sweet, loving the answers guys! Thanks!!

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!

Hey guys, Im looking to take my next step in the process of detailing. What my best option for a polisher, and what will I need for this process?

Im sorry, did you just say BAT GUANO????

LOVE the persistent shopping cart. Goodbye paper lists!!!

No, unfortunately my friend who has one was not available to help with this detail today. He owns a polisher.

Noted. Thanks for the input! Looks like they're gonna have to wait on getting the water spots removed. Ordering RP now!

Hey all, Currently washing/ detailing a family members car. The car sits next to a sprinkler with hard, untreated water every day so now the drivers side has a trillion spots. Ive tried clay bar, its not very effective. Any ideas to speed up the process??

Meh, fan setting...I dig the attachment, still awaiting their availability!!!

better to apply in sunlight or in the shade? should I also allow drying time? Im finding that its sort of hard to take off after drying, maybe Im using too much

Still managing to get streaks on the inside part of the windshield. Everything on it just seems hard to take off/ has an oily feel to it.
