Wash & Wax for wheel maintenace

[mc2hill]

I tried Adam's Wash & Wax for the first time today, and it worked great!  But this is not a post for that.  

 

Like many of you I use Adam's Car Wash Shampoo for regular wheel cleaning - no reason to use the harsher and more expensive Wheel Cleaner when the wheels are only a little dirty.  My pre-mixed bottle of Wash Shampoo was almost out, and I was about to mix up the Wash & Wax in the wash bucket (I used 1 oz. of W&W to 2 gallons of water), and had a "hmmmm" moment - "the wash shampoo is sufficient for cleaning my wheels, but why not add some protection to them without any extra work!",  So I filled up my bottle with the W&W solution.  It cleaned the wheels just like the regular Shampoo, and I am hoping they stay clean a little longer with the 'wax' now added to them.

 

Here is my pre-mixed bottle of Wash & Wax with a Tolco foaming head sprayer (model 322) that I use for my wheel cleaning.  I just finished a gallon of DS, so I may be pre-mixing a full gallon of this in my new empty container.

That works!

Add a little G&G every now and then for even more protection!

Good idea - I'm going to give it a shot. 

 

So you pre mix wash or wash and wax with water just to spray on your wheels? Do you use that for any other applications?

Great idea!  I'm waiting on my foaming spray bottle for this exact same reason.

 

How much W&W did you add to the spray bottle?

For the most part yes.  But I did use the remaining pre-mixed Car Wash Shampoo to clean my vinyl tonneau cover.  And sometimes use it clean the rear of the truck along with a wheel brush.

I scooped it out of the wash bucket with the cup in the picture, but took about 30 oz. out of the 2 gallons of wash solution.
