socalmustang Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 socalmustang Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

0 vobro Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I get about 8-12 wheels out of a 16oz, that's faces and inner barrels. I use it on a cool dry wheel, DWC clings really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kfxjc Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) 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? Edited June 15, 2015 by kfxjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 scuba Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 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.
