ty_tanium Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 just a quick question, curious if APC is safe for matte black powdercoated wheels, or should i dilute it with water first?
Chewy Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Powder coat is VERY durable, but I still wouldn't let it dry on the wheels. Dilution isn't a bad idea, unless they're VERY dirty. Green Wheel Cleaner gets my nod for wheel cleaning though. APC has it's place too though. If they're just a little dirty, Adams Car wash in a spray bottle works well too, and is MUCH kinder to the finish. Chris

MAYBEN Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Hey Tyler, Anthony is from Canuckland too, hes asking for more specific.. eh
Big Mac Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Chewy, I've diluted the detail spray for my wheels and it works pretty well. Do you mix the car wash with water in the bottle? How does that work? No residue? Thanks
mc2hill Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Do you mix the car wash with water in the bottle? I have a gallon jug that I refill with a little (16 oz) of the wash solution each time I wash the car. I put that into a 32 oz bottle for using on the car. Much easier than putting 1/16 of an ounce into a bottle!
Big Mac Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks Michael! I'll give that a try. I learn something new everyday!
