so i got the wheels wet first, then sprayed on the eco wheel cleaner let it sit for a short time, id say 3 mins maybe?  then sprayed on the tire cleaner and scrubbed tires with the red/black brush.  then cleaned the wheel with the soft red brush.  as stated im guessing sprayed the wheel cleaner on freshly watered down wheels was my mistake.  still ill probably get the wheel mitt.  and now that its summer ill be cleaning those suckers at least weekly.

yes i did in fact clean the rubber first...then sprayed the wheels.  so it works better when dry??

Agreed.  Just towels will do the job.  Get the wheel woolies if you don't have them yet.  They're great for getting deep in the wheel wells for us guys who don't have lifts to get behind the wheels. The small one really gets into small, tight spaces.

just finished up.  i REALLY need a wheel woolie.  after fighting with that soft red wheel brush and realizing its not the tool for me, i had to bust out the utility towel and use my fingers.  this was the first cleaning of the wheels and tires too so they were BAD.  the worst part is............now that they are clean i have noticed 1 wheel has a dam rock chip in the paint and what looks like a rock scratch!!!  not a happy guy.  my eyes are saying (with tears in them)  my precious sweet brand new 19"s are ruined!!!  my brain is trying to figure out how to repair them.......

they look great (minus the inside of the wheel is garbage since i cant get my hands in there hence the need for woolies) i think ill be investing in the wheel mitt and giving away the wheel brush!!

so i cleaned the wheels and rubber today.  it was a pain to keep scrubbing those tires.....SOOO MUCH BROWN NASTINESS!!  so much so that when rinsed off the tires were whitish.  but the VRT made em look all nice!!

then i did the wheels.  i have painted glossy black wheels and i have to say, im not sure if it was because this was the first wheel cleaning they have ever had or not BUT i was NOT impressed with the red soft wheel brush AT ALL.  it was like it did nothing.  i had to saturate the wheels with the cleaner then use my hand with a grey Adams utility towel.

was i doing it all wrong?  or is this just not a wise usefull tool to use?

so yeah.......my beautiful gloss black wheels are really nasty.  ive got my wheel and tire cleaner and brushes ready to go, but i was wondering, id want to get the Adams blaster anyway but until i do what do you recommend i use to dry the wheels?  i have some of the grey utility towels and figured id use those in the meantime...unless of course i just happen to drive by adams tomorrow for some reason and get that darned blaster!!

im not sure i want to ceramic coat the rims, im usually out there weekly cleaning them so drying goes along with that HAHAHA

so i got some weather tech mats for our new van.  we have 4 kids and they are a must.  anyhow i got them in cocoa brown to match the door trim & dash.  i wondering what you all use to clean these mats/ maintain them?  on our old van we had the same mats but in black so id just clean them and use a mild wipedown of some type of armorall.  i dont want them to be super slippery but whats Adams got to work with on these?  especially them being brown?

cool!!

id like 1 or 2 please!!  if you still have any left.

how do we pay? paypal?

edit..

and on a side note, would you say these towels are better for wiping off wax vs. drying?

thank you for that info!
