We just purchased a new 2014 escape for the mom. A gallon of ice cream was accidentally left in the back overnight and it smells like spoiled milk now. We cleaned the carpet but the car still smells bad.

I'm only familiar with adams products for cleaning spots, not smells.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?

Its really annoying, but GM's 'polished aluminum' is still a painted finish... leads to lots of confusion on the part of the consumer who think they need a product like this, when they don't.

 

I regularly have to respond to emails about how people have tried our metal polish on their SS camaro, 370z, corvette, mustang, trailblazer ss, etc wheels and aren't seeing any improvement.

 

The manufactures could eliminate a lot of confusion if they'd stop calling them polished aluminum and use a more accurate term like coated aluminum or faux polished aluminum finish.

Thanks Dylan! Yeah, definitely misleading indeed. I guess I'll hold off on today's daily special then, as I can't really see what I would use it on, on a camaro. But no more APC on my wheels for me! I'm guessing everyone else uses soap?

I guess all I can do now is hope for a waterless wash daily coming Tuesday or Wednesday! Takes hours spending time to wash the car every week and hoping to cut off some of that time with this (if it really works ) I have every other product.

Alright, thanks guys. I guess I'll hold out on the metal polish being released today then and just wait for a waterless wash special

Okay, thanks guys. I appreciate all the help. Yeah, it's a 2010 Camaro with the RS option. The wheels came from the factory. The camaro originally comes with 18" wheels I think, but the RS option adds upgraded wheels.

My sticker says:

RS PACKAGE:

20"x8" FRONT AND 20"x9" REAR FLANGLESS, PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH MIDNIGHT SILVER FINISH

 

Then under that it says:

WHEELS 20" POLISHED ALUMINUM as an added option.

So it was originally painted with the RS wheels I think, but then had 500 paid for the polished aluminum option.

So stick away from the APC and GWC, just soap and water?

As for the Metal Polish 1 and 2 and BG, those should be okay still? I really liked the results of them. Should they be combined with Revive Polish and Buttery wax (to treat them like regular paint on the car)

Thanks for the tips!

If they're the factory "Polished Aluminum" wheels then I'm pretty sure they're clear coated, in which case you'd treat them like you would the rest of your paint. If you decide to try the Metal Polish and the applicator doesn't turn black right away then they're definitely clear coated. I suppose you could use APC to clean them but I use the Green Wheel Cleaner. Many people use just Car Shampoo if the wheels aren't that dirty but my G8's brakes like to dust a lot so I always just use the GWC.

Yikes! Treat the same as paint? I've been using APC followed by BG on it! That's why I was asking Just wanted to make sure how I was supposed to treat it.

And yes, I have seen the video on mp 1 and mp 2. I was just hoping I could use the two on it. They look awesome and I want to buy them.

I was hoping for a waterless wash daily special, to try it out, but now I'm looking forward to this too. So many things to buy :/

Sweet! Looking forward to today's daily deal. Hope it comes in some package too. It's hard keeping my wheels shiny for more than a day.

Quick question though. My camaro's wheels say: 20" Polished Aluminum. The correct way to wash these would be...

1.) APC

2.) MP 1

3.) MP 2

4.) BG?

is that correct? Just want to make sure I have my product lineup ready today!

Thanks guys for the awesome products again! Haven't had a product I hated yet

I read a few posts back that it goes on sale today. Any clue as to when?
