The reason the HF acid wheel cleaner left those stains on the left wheel is because they were tar. You had a mixture of both tar and brake dust on those wheels. Acid wheel cleaners work amazing on brake dust but don't do much for tar. High pH cleaners like the wheel/tire cleaner work great on tar, and moderate on brake dust. Good example of why having a variety of products is sometimes necessary to get a complete clean.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Good write up Lee. Exactly my thoughts, having the big guns and arsenal ready for different dirt. Btw I doubt that was tar, tar usually comes out as tiny bits and piece. I personnaly blame the dilution of acid used in this particular instance. I'm re-doing a similar video in a few weeks on those same wheels 1 year later as those are coming off for winter. Stay tuned and thanks for tuning in. ✌️

I just used Adam’s on tires that hadn’t been cleaned in 2 years and tire blooming as well in those 2 years. I used full strength and took around 4-5 passes. Amazing results.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey man glad to have you on the channel, Adam's is some potent stuff for sure, love it. cheers

[@victorsetaro5142]

I’ve always used Meg’s Brighter. For maintenance I dilute 4-1. Done on a cool rim with some brushing, it seems to usually do the trick. I’m going to give Adams’s a try though. Thanks for the video.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey man thanks for letting me know! Glad you liked it and you can't go wrong with Adams W&T for really nasty stuff. Cheers

[@JohnD15317]

Adams wheel and tire is my go to tire cleaner. I have yet to find another cleaner as effective for the cost. Retyre looks really good but it’s expensive

[@Detailing_Dogma]

They are both excellent, happy you found something you like and Adam's wheel & tire is a beast :)

[@GregoryVeizades]

You should try Shine Supply Wise Guy, or Autofanic's Wheel Cleaner.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

@@GregoryVeizades hopefully soon thank you for letting me know

[@hopsonz28]

Have you tried SONAX the beast or Surf City Garage Code Red? I love Adam’s wheel & tire cleaner. But i think SONAX the beast and Surf City Garage code red works better. Also try Superior products dark fury or wire wheel cleaner.

[@vladkonstantinov2995]

Try SAM'S DETAILING WHEEL & TYRE CLEANER

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Thanks for the tip!

[@DC-zp2iq]

Salut Francois, i used the Wheel Brightener from Meguiars and Tolco acid sprayer, i have disposed of so many sprayers that i gave up on the wheel brightener all together and exclusively used P&S brake buster for my all my maintenance wheel wash, at the moment i use Iron X if i need my bite in conjunction with P&S and Tar X. That Adam's Wheel & tire cleaner is a beast of a product. Nice video.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey salut! Seems like you have a good process for wheels. For acid and sprayers they need to be flushed out after every couple use if not everytime when not in used, spray some hot water through the mechanism couple times unclug and works fine in most cases. Cheers

[@RichardsWorld]

Have you considered testing the PH levels?

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey Richard, we could do that, I thought about it but the PH is already public via SDS. Can you expand why you would want us to do that?

[@hyde4never]

Normally, do you dilute the Adam's wheel & tire cleaner before you use? If you do, what is the ratio? Thank you.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey man thank you for tuning in, I use it full strength only but I keep the specific product for caked up neglected stuff not to maintain on a weekly. Cheers

[@hyde4never]

@@Detailing_Dogma Thank you for letting know.

[@biofractal78]

does anyone knows why the Meguiars got discontinued?

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Dont quote me on that but i heard it was related to Hydrofluoric Acid .

[@topvideoslist]

when is too bad dont dilute it

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Thanks for the feedback

[@isaiahsaavedra9496]

So was the Adams diluted at all or no ?

[@Detailing_Dogma]

full strength

[@lil_siamese714]

Didn’t wheel brightener get discontinued?

[@Detailing_Dogma]

you're right it did, still a legend ✌️

[@lil_siamese714]

@@Detailing_Dogma I missed out on it. Got to use adams now because I was late to the party. 😩

[@Detailing_Dogma]

haha, there's other good acid but hard to get online for shipping reasons. I was late too for the adam's party :) @@lil_siamese714

[@Secret_Sun33]

They discontinued Megs Wheel Brightener no? Either way Adams is insanely effective!

[@Detailing_Dogma]

yes it's gone unfortunately, thanks for your feedback.

[@wescat2]

A good option is Koch Chemie FCL. It's a phosphoric and hydrochloric acid-based wheel cleaner. For an acid it's much safer. 👍

[@Detailing_Dogma]

hopefully it'll come to canada! Thanks for your feedback

[@wescat2]

@@Detailing_Dogma I saw a few 5L KCX in your video. It's hard to get in the US.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

@carsupplieswarehouse must have them! @@wescat2

[@chrisbradley3224]

Oh, this sounds good, like Jimbo's with HCl instead of Ammonium Biflouride.

[@clintsaines9274]

​@@wescat2I seen FCL on a few sites for sale but only jn 5L. No reviews with it on KZbin at all.

[@clintsaines9274]

So the adams did better than meguires wheel brightener

[@Detailing_Dogma]

In this specific test yes adams won, and its also great on tires. For the acid like i mentioned in the video, I wouldve up'd the dilution of meguiars wheel brigthener to 1:1 or 1:2 for this caked condition next time around. cheers :)

[@clintsaines9274]

@@Detailing_Dogma thanks.

[@Beluel]

Dawn + WD40

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Thanks for watching

[@jorehaast9887]

Koch chemie fe, way better then wheel brightner;)

[@Detailing_Dogma]

I havent tried it but im sure it is. To be fair WB would have eaten that at 1:1 dilution

[@jorehaast9887]

@@Detailing_Dogma fe would’ve ate it at 1/5 I think. But it’s on a base of hydrochloric acid so it has a user manual lol.

[@ptbruiser2243]

That banned wheel acid is weak! 23 years ago I detailed cars and the wheel acid we used would melt everything off the wheels w/o scrubbing just spray and rinse.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey man thanks for watching, to get that strength I should of used a stronger dilution such as 1:1 or 1:2 but I ran out of dirty wheels (i used 1:4). We'll revisit this at the end of summer. Cheers

[@ptbruiser2243]

@@Detailing_Dogma We used 1-5 dilution with the old wheel acid I used in the day. But I will say the chance for messing up a wheel was high. You could not let the product sit on the wheel for longer than it took to spray on then rinse off.

[@davejones1959]

I use Poor Boys wheel cleaner for years on my hellcats. It is acid-based and literally eats the spray bottle if you don't rinse the nozzle after. The products he used here are a joke he still had to scrub to get any results. Poor Boys on a Hellcat with Brembo brakes is literally spray and rinse. I make sure I spray it on a cool wheel in the morning when I pull out of the garage to detail my cars twice a week. Track down Poor Boys you won't be disappointed.

[@davejones1959]

Poor buys wheel cleaner is truely spray and rinse.

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hey Dave, the acid here was diluted 1:4, like i mentioned in the video with a more aggressive dilution we would have gotten different results. Cheers

[@jayb5469]

Your using tire cleaner for rims adams rim cleaner is blue

[@Detailing_Dogma]

Hi thanks for watching! Adam's wheel & tire product is actually purple, at least the ones ive got! Similar to brake buster. Cheers

[@chrisbradley3224]

The purple is the combo product. The blue is the wheel cleaner with iron remover. I think he knows what he's using :).
