icantdrive55 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'll drop you a quick note next time before we come up to the Cape. Meet you at Liam Maguires for a pint. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks jdenotter and LDM. Great color on your G8 LDM - love the Maverick Silver.My car's actually White Hot. I guess with the poor lighting and the reflections that the Americana produces it does sort of look silver in that picture.Where on the Cape are you? We vacation every July in Falmouth and can't wait to be back on the Cape. Mike Actually, I live in Falmouth. Small world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDM Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sorry for hi-jacking this thread...checking to see if any G8 owners have used GWC on their factory rims and had good results - no problems? Thanks, Mike That's what I use on mine and I think it works great. No problems at all. I've tried using just Car Shampoo at times but my G8's brakes seem to dust so much that it wasn't getting completely clean. Went back to GWC and it all came off quickly and easily. I apologize that this isn't the best picture but it shows the results: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have painted rims and they have not caused any issues GWC is super safe IMHO. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 1/2 to 3/4 of a ounce of Car Wash Shampoo per bucket! Chapter 5 - Washing the Car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'll try that (Car Shampoo),what's the dullution ratio? 1/2 oz. per gallon. Try it with a foaming sprayer, works like a mini-foam gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Chris why not try just using Car Wash Shampoo first, I doubt that they are that dirty, since its your baby! I like using every ADAMS product I can,but your probley right. GWC=Overkill (For the TA) I'll try that (Car Shampoo),what's the dullution ratio?

Moz Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Its perfectly safe as long as you don't use it on the wheels while its hot or allow it to dry, but as with anything you should test a small inconspicuous area before starting and make sure. Thank You for the quick reply Dylan.I'll do a test spot on the back of the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
