Coderedpl Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Something silly i noticed when washing the car today, is that I somehow always manage to get myself dirty when i clean the wheels. Must be getting too into the task because I end up with a bunch of dots all over me....but hey the wheels are clean! Tyler@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I wash my wheels far too often to get dirty while cleaning them haha! When I clean my SUV's undercarriage though... that's a different story. I break out the safety glasses for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dakman47 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wheels get me too. I've learned when using the red wheel brush to pay close attention to my brush direction. I still inevitably get spritzed but I try to drag the bristles away from me and not toward me. Glad I'm not the only one with wheel cleaner dots!

0 mc2hill Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Me too. I usually clean the cars after the gym on a weekend morning, and have ragged shorts I put on over my workout shorts to collect the black spots from the wheels. I have a few more pairs relegated to 'detail duty' when I am mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The wheel woolies really help me stay decently clean when doing wheels/tires - although I'm usually wearing nitrile gloves anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BrianT Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm generally a mess after washing the entire vehicle. The wheels are just the beginning on the downward soaking! Coderedpl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheWolf Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't usually get dirty. I am careful because I don't want to get stains on my Adam's Polishes t-shirts, which is the required washing apparel. I also don't usually use the Deep Clean tire brush, with its stiff bristles that fling crud, for regular maintenance cleanings. If there is no mud on the tire, then I use a dedicated Fender Brush on the tires, which is adequate to get the dust off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tjk Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yup I end up a speckled mess after using the wheel brush that red bristles just flip the brake dust everywhere. the tire brush is not as bad but a combo of the entire wash I'm definitely a mess. gotta take a shower in the Adam's hand cleaner when I'm all finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Coderedpl Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think Adam and the team need to get into body wash products too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I take back my prior comment. Detailed my fiancee's step dad's car today.... pretty sure he's never cleaned the tires or wheels in the last 70,000 miles he's driven it. I was a speckled mess when I was done with my 5 layers of Tire and Rubber Cleaner and 2 rounds of Wheel Cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And give yourself a bath while washing your truck. Edited August 29, 2016 by LFairbanks TheWolf, buffalobob920, tjk and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
