  1. The Tire and Rubber Cleaner is designed for the tires only and you would use a separate product such as Wheel Cleaner or Eco Wheel Cleaner on delicate wheels. Whereas Tire and Wheel cleaner will do a good job on both with just one product. I've found that using Tire and Wheel clean on Ceramic or Graphene Coated wheels works exceptionally well. The tires look good and the coating is not affected. Of course with coated wheels the shampoo alone will take off the majority of the contaminants. I detail a lot of different vehicles so I keep Eco Wheel Cleaner, Wheel Cleaner, Tire and Rubber Cleaner and Wheel & Tire Cleaner in stock. I use more Wheel & Tire Cleaner than the others combined since I have found it to be an excellent all around cleaner. Of note, some tires have compounds that are challenging to get even with any product. I know there have been some challenges with Continental and Dunlop motorcycle tires and it appears to be specific tire compounds, not the Adams products since other models from same manufacturers seem to have no problem. If I were limited to only having one of the four products, it would be Wheel & Tire Cleaner. Don't forget to add the Graphene Tire Dressing after getting the tires clean if you like a nice deep shine on your tires otherwise VRT is a good choice.
  2. Hi Mitch, First welcome to the Forum and don't forget for post an official intro. I have not heard of anyone being told that there is a problem with a Adam's Tire and Wheel Cleaner and brake rotors. If that were the case, then I would not expect the Adam's products to sold at most Chevy Dealers. What also stands out is that it is only one of your rotors and pads, if it was the Adam's Tire and Wheel cleaner, then it should be affecting all of them. I'll note that I have not yet dealt with the 2023 version of the Ceramic Brake Rotors if you had that option put on the C8. In my opinion if only one rotor is affected and do you not have staining on the wheel which would indicate you did not rinse it off, then it is most likely a defective part.
  3. While this project has been going on for over a month, we are only waiting on two more parts, new tool box and the aluminum bi-fold gate. The trailer is nearly 30 years old and needed some pretty significant reconditioning. The first two pictures below show the condition that it started on the inside and outside. The next two pictures show it how it came out once the body work was done, new boards put along with almost 100 carriage bolts to hold them. We also put new LED lights along with rewiring it. Once the other parts come in, then I'll add a Graphene coating so it will keep looking good for a while.
  4. It has had been a while since the wife's garage queen had gotten my attention for a weekend. I washed on Friday and spent Saturday and Sunday polishing it and then putting on a Graphene coating and today was spent on interior. It's going to get a set of Pirelli Scorpion Plus 3 tires this week and then I'll coat the wheels and do the wheel wells while they are off.

    Our new camper!

    Hi Chris, Nice camper. I will recommend two items that work great on the camper, H20 Guard & Gloss or Wash & Wax. Personally, I prefer the H20, but the Wash & Wash is easier to deal with. Either way the Red Car Wash Wedge is a must have for campers or motor homes. Enjoy the new camper.
  6. The best way is to shake it up. If it has frozen, then it might be a different condition. It is always recommended to store the chemicals in a place where it will not freeze nor get excessively hot.
  7. The regular detail spray is used when you need to Polish or Clay a vehicle, not only does it smell good, it is very effective and less expensive than CS3 or Graphene Detail Spray. If your vehicle is Graphene Coated and has sat in the garage for a week and just needs a little dust knocked off it, then the Graphene Detail Spray is ideal. It is not only less expensive than CS3, it also leaves a wet look. If the vehicle has been out and about or sitting for a month in the garage, then you need something with cleaning properties and CS3 is ideal.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forum.
  9. Hi Chris, CS3 quickly became one of my regular items to use and always goes in my travel bag with as versatile as it is. While I prefer the smell of the regular waterless wash, it is no match for capabilities of CS3. One of these days we need to meet up at my daughters restaurant for lunch, it is near the southern gate of Fort Jackson, so it is a straight run across 378 from Sumter, less than 45 minutes from the main gate at Shaw. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to her place and lunch would be on me.
  10. The son-in-law had to be at Sumter AFB for the weekend, so the Mazda was left at my house and got some much needed attention. It also pointed out that I need todo some some light research on what I installed in m garage. I have 5000k LED's in the garage and it is pretty obvious that the difference between their light and nature light is substantial.
  11. Welcome to the Forum.
  12. Hi Ron, The Air cannon is great when you have a garage or are always doing the drying in the same location. If you are doing detailing in different locations or mobile detailing, then EGO blower would be advantageous. Of course, if you are doing a mix, then both would be ideal.
  13. Hi Jack, Based on the description and weather, it sounds like you should be fine. On the light colored vehicles, I try to get them in good light and look them over for any high spots or misses and then do it again in the shade. It can be hard to see the differences in on light setting, but if you cannot see a difference in either light setting, then you not have have any misses or high spots.
