How much Wheel Cleaner....?


socalmustang

Question

I just used it for the first time about 2 days ago and realized I used about half a bottle? Is this normal amount to use? No complains though, wheels came out great. Looks like a gallon is coming in the near future. 

 

P.S. The Adams addiction is real :help:

Deep Wheel Cleaner or Green Wheel Cleaner? Also, when was the last time they were properly washed? Assuming you used a 16oz bottle then 8 ounces used is a bit much, but if they were severely neglected then it may have been necessary.

Deep wheel cleaner! I wash it weekly now, but haven't had a wheel cleaner, so it was a couple weeks since I last washed them. They were pretty dirty though, so maybe that's why.

 

It's supposed to be used on a dry wheel right? I think on the Adams video, I see the wheels being wet when he applies them, if I remember correctly.

A dry wheel is more effective at cleaning since there isn't water there to dilute the cleaner down. It will still work if it's sprayed down first, but it won't be as strong.

I think it really depends on your brake pads.  I have all VW's and a Camaro with factory brembos.  I can turn the wheels pure black in 3 days so I burn through wheel cleaner quick.  I switched from Sonax to DWC, sonax is awesome.. Adams is even better imo.  When I do a track day some times I need to spray the wheels down 2-3 times with cleaner to get all the metal from the pads free from the clear on the wheel but I would also think that has to do with if the wheels are sealed or not.

 

Which brings up a good question, if you have your wheels quick sealed does DWC strip the sealant off?

It of course depends on how soiled the wheels are but in general, I use around 2-4 oz per cleaning when using DWC. Once you've cleaned the wheels with DWC, you'll only need soap and water to maintain them if you clean them regularly. Sealing them will make your life even easier still.
