Thanks for the feedback everyone! Things like this really do help us in providing the best products possible to our customers. I will be sure to pass along the requests for a gallon option!

A++ Nice product from my perspective that seems to perform as designed.

I did not purchase the neutralizer to cover up or mask anything specific. More so the thought of a having neutralizing capabilities and knowing likely Adam's would come up with a thoughtful and approachable smelling product similar to the rest of product their line.

Similar to many others, my initial review is that the product is a bit strong. Out of the box the spray definitely appears and smells "diluted" a touch, not full strength but after spraying you realize it is quite strong. As others have suggested, less is more. A partial pull/spray in a few areas of the vehicle as described in the how to video will do the trick, assuming what you are working with isn't overly bearing.

The neutralizer is very effective! I agree that a few fine mists in the vehicle followed by walking away and letting everything settle for a bit makes sense. The smell initially to me comes across fresh but I get a sense and smell of excess soap residue almost. The neutralizer is absolutely not in a fragrance category trying to mask smells. It really is refreshing. Day 2-3 in my opinion after using the neutralizer is the best.

The smell of the neutralizer easily sticks around for 3-5 days plus.. I am focusing a bit more on the actual effects of using the host of great Adam's interior products followed by a few mists of neutralizer. I'm feeling a bit cheated covering up and joining some of the other products smells that we have come to enjoy with neutralizer, but we all know most of the products smells don't hang around as long!

I am adequately satisfied given the purpose of the product and would recommend everyone to give it a try.

How old is your car? The newer a car is, the more you have off-gassing from some of the plastic materials in the car that can cause a haze on the windows.

Is the hazing inside or outside? If it's inside and your car is under 3 years old it's out gassing from plastics.

I've experienced the hazing each on 5-yr old and 10-yr old vehicles. Also, I turned my family of farmers onto this glass cleaner for their combine and tractor equipment. They too liked the clarity and actually the fact that dust did not accumulate however within days came across hazing as well. Again, not a complaint just wanting to dial in the process if possible. They actually use and swear by a foaming aerosol product, Hi-Sheen in which is loaded with alcohol and ethanol ingredients.  

Good info and nice reviews from all that have received their new glass towels! The option for additional scrubbing power seems good and the overall absorption and longevity sounds like the biggest plus! I assume MF Revitalizer is still the best option for washing these towels?

On a side note and probably not related to the towels – the latest improved glass cleaner formula seems pretty good. I still come across a light haze and/or cloudiness approximately 1-week after cleaning my glass. Anyone experience the same? I realize many of you likely clean your glass much before this occurs. The initial cleaning is literally effortless and results in flawless streak free glass. Amazing clarity!

Acknowledging the new formula to contain, no ammonia, alcohol or perfumes I understand there are optical clarifiers and some sort of UV stabilization in the formula. Could this be leading to the hazing? I am pretty certain I mist the product lightly and am not over applying the cleaner as I do get a great initial finish. I am not speaking to a moisture hazing/fogging that can be cleared up by A/C circulation. I’ve experienced this on various types of glass applications.

Still the best glass cleaner I have come across, just curious if anyone shares the same experience.

Any word/progress development on the once mentioned dedicated rubber tire cleaner?

The new shampoo in which I just ordered was shown and pictured with the red pump top, however it wasn't pump. Mine came with the typical top

Getting an error 503 message "service unavailable" from Magento..

Way to go! Glad to see it.. Any thoughts on a wheel and tire brush combo cleaning package?

What are the "purple" utility towels paired up with the interior cleaning kit? These appear a bit different knap then the cheapo's I use.. They look nice! Are they always purple?

Ugh.. Throwback labels.. Awesome!

If the APC left the marks, I know from experience Adam's Metal Polish #1 will remove them.

 

Be careful not to get any polish on the cast, unpolished areas. You may want to tape those areas off, or at least where the polished section meets up to the cast finish.

 

Yes, taping will take time, but I'd be willing to bet, less time than trying to remove the polish residue from the cast finish! 

Thanks Dave, yes I was assuming some additional care around the cast would be best. What type of tape would you recommend? Like a house hold blue or green wall painting tape? Thanks again

Hello - after a strip wash and APC to clean my tires I ended up with a few blemishes on my wheels. I believe I have cast/polished aluminum un-coated wheels. In searching the forum it seems the go-to product for this task is Adams Metal Polish. Also, in using the metal polish do I risk the polish taking the current shine further than the current polished look? Just wanting to make sure I get back to a clean, and natural polished sheen. Any suggestions on a sealant going forward?

Attached are a few pictures of the wheels, as well the last picture of a regular engine part to give an example of the polished finish components my bike has. Thanks

For an example how do you all feel about this? Basically the worst of the worst road grime from the wet roads the day after a snow storm. Pretty thick, but mostly water spray-up from the tires.. (Click the image to supersize for best detail)

Don't forget a new tire product.

"Dedicated rubber cleaner"

Short, and always with a hole in the handle to be hung! I see this one has a hole..

This was actually just recently asked in another thread. We have a prototype, so maybe.

Do it! The size of a wheel brush deserves to be as small as a tire brush! After all, the brushes are working in the same area. Not too often have I found a need to two-hand a wheel brush. Most wheels are delicate and a clean wheel is easily achivavable with Adams cleaners to where a brush with a long handle in my opiniong resorts one to heavy scrubbing which often times isn't required.

The new wheel brush, being nylon, isn't effected at all.

Any thoughts to transitioning and offering the wheel brush in a similar size to the new deep clean tire brush? Makes total sense in my opinion..

When I looked yesterday it was at 47,500.

Great work, well maintained.. Any interest in the latest Colorado/Canyon's?

Aside from manufacturing and availability issues is there any other reason these brushes aren't preferred? Mine has held up and in my opinion is the champ of safe wheel cleaning!

Dropping serious knowledge! I like it sir.

Yes, very legit!

ShineDoc, given the continued advancement in tires, with the various compound and additive types is there a point where cleaners may be too harsh and adversely affect the tire? With the anti-ozonant it sounds like the primary objective is to maintain the rubber for longevity and more so from becoming dry, oxidized, etc. I know tire and rubber technology isn't your primary profession, but do you see where repeat cleaning and/or application of tire conditioners may be of harm?

I am not overly concerned, but my mind was definitely jogged by your great research here. When it comes to performance $200+ tires this type of thing may become of interest. Again, I can’t personally think of a time where someone said they ruined their tire from attempts at protecting them..

Put the Deep Clean brush thru its paces yesterday prepping some tires with a few prototype heavy duty rubber cleaners and a new tire product

Great test and photos! What dressing if any was removed during your clean? A rubber specific cleaner sounds great!

Looks great, I have used the fender brush in the past to accomplish tire cleaning. As you mentioned, other brushes tend to be clunky whereas this one appears to be a great size (compact) to get the job done! Dylan, can provide a quick comment to the bristle types and stiffness differences compared to the current brush offerings being the 20" fender brush, the Adams wheel brush and this new tire brush? These bristles look stiff, awesome to get rugged tires cleaned up!

Great addition - USA Made, offered by Adam's at a great price!

Its feasible for a 3 year old towel with a good amount of use to start to break down, towels don't last forever. Think of the bath towels in your house... they start to look ratty after a few years of use and washing. Same thing happens to your microfiber over time - the more they're used the faster they go.

 

 

Toss them, or mark them (a sharpie on the corner) and relegate them to other uses.

Thanks!! Yes, no worries here whatsoever.. I am grateful! Always wondered how and what issues people were experiencing with their MF. More so I haven't known how to identify issues besides what I just started noticing. Thanks!

Yes, 2014 I believe. A family members in which I have used various Adams products on. Those few different surface types in my opinion were most difficult to clean compared to others I regularly clean.

Pretty isolated, just these three towels. No others.. Just toss these??
