Do You Really Need a Tire Cleaner? APC VS. ADBL Tire and Rubber Cleaner

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

@roadtodetailing Great little video. I've had almost identical results in a video I have filmed at the weekend. I used surfex neat in that film and it still brought similar. I used 4 different tyre cleaners and was surprised by what I found first off in a bare rubber test.

[@RoadToDetailing]

Thank you Mat! For me, a 10% dilution with Surfex works well on tire and wheels in general. I hadn’t try other tire cleaners just yet, but I have some others on the shopping list already 🤓 What 4 you had tested if you don’tmind me asking? I look forward to your video! This subject is interesting for me 😎

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

@@RoadToDetailing so I've been trialing, Duel Cleanse, Autoglanz Rebound, shiny garage All Black and Dodo Juice Pneu Look. They are all quite different. But all have a place

[@RoadToDetailing]

I’m looking forward to see your thoughts on these 4, sounds a very interesting content! Autoglanz rebound is on my shopping list since a while now, I don’t have a need for that but I have my curiosity to try it out.

@@RoadToDetailing if there is a way I can DM you, I have the footage but it is private on my KZbin. Not yet confident the world is ready for 50 mins of tyre cleaning 🤣

[@RoadToDetailing]

Sure thing Mat, I feel you 😂 What about instagram mate? @roadtodetailing , if no, I drop you a DM on your personal FB sir 👍🏻 let me know which one you’d prefer 👌

[@RoadToDetailing]

Which one you would pick if it comes to cleaning your tires?

u can use surfex hd 1:5 or straigt out the bottle in I use surfex 10% in a very dirty interior

de közben rájöttem hogy a borzasztó angolom helyett írhattam volna anyanyelven is 😂

[@RoadToDetailing]

@@leonnagy4538 😊 igen, de az angolod egyáltalán nem borzasztó, sőt 👌🏻 Nagyon sokoldalú a Surfex HD, és összességében nagyon sok egyéb, dedikált terméket kiválthat a megfelelő hígitási aránnyal használva. Én speciel szeretek dedikált termékeket használni, de ez természetesen nagyobb anyagi vonzattal jár. Ha valaki épp árérzékeny, akkor pl. a Surfex HD az egy “must have” termék. Helyettesíthető Koch Chemie Green Star-ral, bár véleményem szerint az eggyel gyengébb, de olcsóbb termék is. Nem mellesleg EU-n belül könnyebb a beszerzése.

@@RoadToDetailing Green star az alap apc-m de szeretek minel többet kipróbálni most pl a sonax multistart használom azzal is nagyon meg vagyok elégedve viszont az h Surfex ára fel repült legalábbis ha mo-n szeretnék hozzájutni az nagy kár

[@RoadToDetailing]

A sonax is szuper. Ár érték arànyban jelenleg a GS a legjobb, de valóban, itthon a Surfex az kb. túlon túl drága 🥹

I'd probably stick with surfex hd, saves the hassle of having to buy another product

[@RoadToDetailing]

Surfex HD is great, the difference is very small. Although, the cleaning experience was more enjoyable (and deeper) with ADBL. Also, the dressing bonds on the surface better and lasts longer on the tire has been cleaned with ADBL compared to the one which cleaned with Surfex. I would say that, I would probably use Surfex HD as a frequently used product, but every 2nd or 3rd wash, where I need a deeper cleaning I would choose ADBL. Overall, if the budget allows, having a tire cleaner could be better, but at the same time, surfex does a decent job basically for pennies, which hard to beat :)

[@Chris_8270]

@@RoadToDetailing ADBL tyre cleaner is an excellent product! I buy 5 litres of surfux HD at a time as I use it for so many different jobs, it's handy to use it for tyres aswell. I'd agree using ADBL very couple of washes would be a good idea

[@RoadToDetailing]

@@Chris_8270 Yes, Surfex HD is one of the best all rounder on the market, and 5L of that will last a long time, while give you so much of a choice to use on.

[@swift2117]

Surfex hd exactly the same way, learnt of Jon from Forensic, nothing but respect for him. Also the Surfex can go and attack the wheels at the same time. Autoglanz rebound is also good. Thank you for the video.

[@RoadToDetailing]

Hi Swift 211, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Jon from Forensic has such a great knowledge in car detailing and is a great source to learn from as well. I like the facts you have shared in your comment 🙏 Autoglanz Rebound is on my shopping list, and somewhere in the near future I’m going to try that, because sounds very promising. Thanks for the hint 😉

[@swift2117]

@@RoadToDetailing Thank you for making the content and sharing with us. I look forward to your next video.

[@RoadToDetailing]

Thank you Swift 211, appreciate it! 🙏 The next one is going to be a good one, I really enjoyed doing it and cannot wait to finish the editing for Sunday afternoon 😎

“Dedicated” tire cleaners are just neat expensive degreasers. You cannot compare neat degreasers with 1:10 surfex hd degreaser.

[@RoadToDetailing]

Oops.. I just did compare them as the way they are. I don’t think it was an unfair comparison, yet in this video there is nothing scientific, just pure curiosity. Why diluted surfex? People tend to use Surfex HD diluted (1:10) on tires, myself included, and other people like to use “dedicated” tyre cleaners. The biggest difference in my personal opinion: surfex leaves white residue behind, while a dedicated cleaner does not. (At least, not in my tryings with specific “tyre cleaners”) Thanks for your feedback.
