Sizzle Chest

IMO: the brake dust when left to dwell can be caustic and cause the paint/clear to fail.  I have some Mercedes wheels that have the same issue.  I picked it up used and the damage was already done.  MB has some serious brake dusting issues that in my opinion contributed to this issue.

If you regularly clean and protect your wheels I do not see this becoming an issue.

Hope this helps! 

Thanks everyone!!!!

Bet you are glad you did it!  Glad you got all that crap off the paint!

Thanks everyone!  Appreciate the comments!

I used it today for the first time.  I usually use Tuff Shine tire cleaner.  Adam's works just as good and the scent doesn't make you choke!! 

This stuff will really deep clean your tires...they will be ready for the tire dressing of your choice!

Another great product released from Adam's. 

Check out the thread I started on the Dodge Challenger Shaker edition to see this stuff in action...and the after/results shots!

This is going to be short and sweet...

They rock.  The BEST glass towel I have used to date!

Period.  End of discussion.

2 thumbs up!!!  5 stars!

2015 Dodge Challenger Shaker Edition

Black

I have a client who uses this as his daily driver and it lives outside 24/7.  Needless to say, it needed a little love from the good doctor at Autodermatology. 

A two-step correction was on deck along with a minor interior cleanup, and of course the wheels were hammered. 

As you will see below, the majority of the products I used were from Adam’s Polishes.  I wanted to give them another shot and see what kind of results could be achieved from his products, mainly the compounds/polishes/pads.  I currently use a few of his products-glass cleaner, tire dressing, APC, wheel cleaner, etc on a regular basis. So, I wanted to see if these were up to the task for professional use.

Manly machines:  Rupes nano iBrid longneck, and a 15mm longthrow.

Pads: Rupes 1” and 2” pads.  Adam’s Polishes orange (heavy) and white (light) cutting/polishing pads.

Chemicals:  Wolfgang auto bathe, SCG Pro strip wash, Kenotek anti-insect, Adam’s deep wheel cleaner, Adam’s APC, Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner, Adam’s glass cleaner, Adam’s TID interior, Adam’s VRT for tire dressing.

LSP: undisclosed sealant that I am beta testing. 

Vacuum via Metro.

Misc microfiber towels were used. 

Tuff shine tire brush, Daytona speedmaster and other misc brushes.

Clayed via nano wash mitt.

I found the paint in atrocious condition: Swirls, scratches, haziness, water spots/streaks, etc.  It was poor to say the least. 

The wheels/tires have never been touched since the dealer slung some greasy dressing on them a few thousand miles ago. 

The paint was pretty soft and corrected easily.  I was happy with the results I was achieving with the products/system I was using. 

End result:  I believe I breathed new life into this Procharged beast!!  My client was stunned with the results and said he knew it was very bad on drop off. 

Doctor Scott at Autodermatology had another successful surgery!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

^^^Great advice! 

Very nice!  Congrats on the new car!  Yes, there is much to be impressed with his products and customer service...very nice goods!

Congrats!  Love the new Caddy's!!!  Looks great!  Can't wait for a mini road review!

Congrats on the new ride!  Looks great!!!!

Glad you got it squared away Phil.   Nothing more aggravating than some streaky/hazy glass!  Good deal!

I would definitely polish the glass.  This should remove any haze/road grime/crud/film/contaminants/etc that 'normal' cleaning will not.

Clay it, polish it, clean with glass cleaner and call it a day!  (maybe seal it if you wish)

Let us know how you make out!

Very well organized for a small space!  And the black P car looks great!

It's very possible you are inducing the marring into your soft infiniti paint.  Instead of 'wiping' you can 'pat' the car dry with your towels.  Less chance of marring that way.  Or just use less pressure, you really don't need any at all while drying.

Or, as you said-the MB is the way to go!!!

Keep up the good work!  Truck looks great!!!!

Super soft paint there!  Glad you as well as the owner are good to go with it now!  That would be a potential freak out moment!  LOL

Please post up some more pics of that area.  Thank you.

Roger that Tyler! 

Thanks Brian!!

^^^Thanks Sam!  Appreciate it!

Thanks all!!!

Mike: yeah, those German pads are terrible dusters!  Need to change them to ceramic pads one day...

Mariner:  No, I scrubbed them!  Used my Daytona Speedmaster and misc brushes to do that!

The Benzo's wheels were starting to get a bit dirty...German brake pads dust like crazy and it builds up and drives me nuts!

Sprayed the wheels/rims with Adams wheel cleaner.  Let it dwell.  Adams car wash was mixed for my wash of choice.  Daytona speedmaster and other misc brushes were used.  Tires were cleaned with a non-Adams product.  Hosed everything off, sprayed a water activated sealant on and blasted that off...shot the rotors with some Hyde's syrum to prevent rusting of the rotors. 

I then broke out the Master Blaster and dried the wheels/tires.  Next up came a dollop of SVRT for the tires.  DONE!!!

Results...view for yourself.  Excellent in my opinion!!!

I would also like to add that the wheel cleaner's odor was not obnoxious or horrid like a lot of other products out there.  WIN!!!

Thanks for looking!

Congrats!!  Great looking truck!!!

If your polishing/compounding will not do it, you may need to take some paint readings...if enough there some spot wet sanding may be in order.
