Bansheeboy11 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 For some reason ive been using Adams stuff for over a year and never knew there was a forum haha, tons of great info here, lots of clean cars too So ive got all the usual stuff to keep my machines shiny but i do lots of road track days and have recently been running slicks, which now likes to sling rubber/tar all over the sides of my car. I do know of Mothers R3 and Stoner Tarminator but id like to see if anyone has suggestions on some Adams products that might work before i go and buy something else. I ordered the new wash/wax soap, rubber cleaner and stripper soap so if one of those works ill be in business, if not im open to suggestions!

PT3 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Nice stable! I too spend a lot of time on track! I tried a bunch of products I already had... Like Adam's APC, Clay bar, Revive, Car Shampoo, and Simple Green. Some of the products worked OK, but with MUCH scrubbing. So on many recommendations I purchased the Mothers R3. The winner was by far the R3. It practically melted away the rubber as it didn't take much scrubbing at all and wiped right off with ease. I stopped trying other products since it worked so well.

tjk Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Welcome maybe put some buttery wax in the area that gets dirty prior to slinging tire and tar on the car to help the stuff not stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you'll be thrilled. Yeh i usually use the wax before an event, works good but i rushed this last one and im rolling around with doors covered in rubber lol. I went to my local detailing shop but they didnt have the Mothers on hand, but they had Stoner Tarminator so ill try that it was only $5. Ill give the car a good wash after work and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeboy11 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 So the Stoner Tarminator works on the chunky stuff, i was able to blast most of it off with the hose after letting it soak a bit. But i tried scrubbing a little with the wash mit but it didnt work on getting the scuffed rubber off, so ill order the mothers and a heavier srub pad and try it again. I also happen to have my wash stuff in the car and ran into some people after dinner and did a little demo in the parking lot haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeboy11 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 So after 30 years of sitting in the garage, we took the mustang to a local car show and got a club members choice award so hats off to Adam's for keeping it shiny! Even with a passing shower we kept it pretty and turned a few heads! wely324 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wely324 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 nice rides, that Mustang looks great... I'm also a track guy but on two wheels. I can't help much with the rubber though, I tend to use APC an scrub away at it. On my racebike, I don't worry about marring the paint, can't spend too much time or money on something that slides across the ground on the paint a few times a year.

Bansheeboy11 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks guys! So i ended up picking up a bottle of Mothers R3 and its fantastic! Spray on for 30 seconds, then it wipes right off with a towel, i couldnt ask for anything else! Ive noticed now that ive used the new blue wheel cleaner for a while, it doesnt seem to work as well as the pink stuff. The last few months ive noticed brake dust collecting in the corners of the spokes and around the wheel weights. The pink cleaner would eat right through everything and never gave me issues with debris collecting on the wheel but every time i go to wash my wheels the blue stuff cant break down the heavy deposits, anyone else experience this? Ive scrubbed, used straight undiluted cleaner and tried to clay it, the clay helps but the pink stuff never gave me issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
