ADAM'S WHEEL & TIRE CLEANER VS TURTLE WAX IRON REMOVER VS JIMBOS PURE MAGIC CLEANER

[@masoncolvin9896]

As someone one who’s used both Adam’s and pure magic. Pure Magic is by far the best I’ve used hands down no question, I hardly have to agitate my wheels. Once I run through the gallon of Adam’s I bought months ago I’ll be buying a gallon of pure magic🤩. Can’t wait for that new soap to ship out! #cutomerforlife

Try dark Fury

[@barrybij8079]

@Jarph0821 dark fury is really good. But it can stain a driveway if not rinsed right away.

[@datsuntoyy]

@@barrybij8079 That's nice to know, I just ordered some to try. Thankyou

[@TannerBobbitt]

Not a fair test at all. Put your acid against another acid. Its common knowledge that acid based cleaners will cleaner better than high alkaline.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

LOL

[@Murph97]

So you do have a 2 pH system but 3 is BS? lol. Thought the super soap can clean anything, why do we need an acid now?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Did you watch the video?

[@barrybij8079]

Acid cleaners like megs wheel are great but they are very harsh. I think the point of the product is to give megs wheel brightener results without the hazards that go along with it

[@Reaper-Jim]

@@barrybij8079That’s all well and good, but when products cut into your bottom line it’s a non-starter. A big part of being a successful professional detailer is profit. If it’s not working for you, it’s working against you. 😊😊😊

YOU USED THE WHOLE BOTTLE!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@fookatan]

Hey Jimbo, Is the gallon more concentrated? And what is its ph level?

[@datsuntoyy]

I used the iron remover on my wheels last weekend and I've never seen a cleaner work better on my wheels. It removed stuff without agitation that some others couldn't get with agitation. Was not expecting that.

[@T-BoneTodd]

The Best wheel cleaner on the market, hands down!!💯💪🏼

Is it safe to use acid based wheel cleaners on my matte black wheels every time I wash my car (every 2-3 weeks)? They are clear coated wheels

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Yes.

[@KatrinaTrys]

I like using acid base on stock wheels but not on aftermarket wheels... I aint afraid to admit it scares me... I will take the extra 10 mins to scrub 😉 and not buy someone a wheel 😂

[@autodetailingpodcast]

100% - always test in a small area first. When it doubt, first figure it out.

[@DasJav]

More uses for my Pure Magic Cleaner, yay! Temp was too hot to use in my last wash to try to remove water spots from my glass. My favorite wheel cleaner has been Meguiar's Wheel Brightener. I've been using it for years. Could tell the difference the very first time I used it. It easily removed the dirt buildup from in between the tight spokes of my wheels, which were a pain to clean. Please share other uses!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thanks for the support! More to come.

[@Murph97]

Wouldn’t super soap just work on everything, wheels included? Or is brake dust harder to get off vs “road film?”

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Super soap works great on rims too. But these inner barrels have never been cleaned

[@hernansalazar2158]

Good video and thorough explanation of products.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Thank you!

[@Sasquatch_by_Day-nv3yh]

Yeah, you really want to be careful cleaning anodized or polished aluminum wheels. I used the wrong cleaner on one wheel of a set of polished aluminum American Racing wheels on one of my cars, it turned milky white immediately. I thought I ruined it, I was able to polish it out but it took some work.

My question is I live in an apartment and my washing is a car wash automatic/self , just want to keep my clear coat saved and wheels looking good , can u make a video where ur products can be used when there is a car that sits outside and doesn’t have access to a hose and only a car wash ? How do I apply ur products to maximize performance since us non homeowners don’t have access to certain things u take for granted , Thanks for a reply or video !!! Missing a huge untapped market 🤷

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I’m gonna try and do a vid for you on this

[@bob8871]

⁠Can’t wait, no one ever talks about apartment dwellers and their cars which is a sh*t ton of people , just bought hard as shell and magic cleaner and waiting on how to use before I head to carwash , Thanks

[@FJB8646]

I use regular dawn dishwashing soap mixed with water in a hand pump spray foamer and it works awesome!!

[@victor4091]

have you tried the dawn powerwash spray? that already comes in a foamer sprayer bottle and claims to be more "touchless" on dishes vs regular liquid dawn of course that does remove sealant i you put any coatings in your wheels, but if you don't coat your wheels and just clean then often it may ne a good solution!

[@Reaper-Jim]

@@victor4091Dawn does not strip off sealants. No more than any other soap. The problem with dish soaps is that they simply have no lubrication to speak of. 😊😊😊

[@victor4091]

@@Reaper-Jim I was talking about powerwash and yes it does, it has a ph of 11.1

[@2Shine55]

Great video Boss! Adam’s is my go to!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I like Adams too.

[@jeffc6832]

Koch Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner is my go-to for neglected wheels. Cleans like an acid and provides a nearly touchless clean, but has a fairly neutral pH of 5.5 and is safe on a wide variety of wheel types and is not as bad for your body. As a rule, I stay away from any kind of strong acid that could be harmful to my health. The time savings aren't worth it, and I would rather put in the extra effort to agitate a safer pH neutral or alkaline product than put my body at risk. Can you talk sometime about the safety of the Ammonium Biflouride in Pure Magic Cleaner? I've read that it can be as damaging as HFA (though I'm not sure at what concentration). Obviously gloves and eye protection are necessary, but what about incidental inhalation or skin contact (uncovered arms/legs)?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Glad you asked so I can clear it up a bit: Jimbo's Pure Magic Cleaner is formulated with a focus on safety and efficacy. The primary components of the cleaner include Citric Acid, non-ionic surfactants, Glycol Ethers, and a small amount of Ammonium Bifluoride (ABF) used as a booster. However, in its ready-to-use form, the concentration of ABF is reduced to less than 1%, ensuring even greater safety for users. Addressing Safety Concerns Concentration of Ammonium Bifluoride (ABF): Very Low Concentration: In the ready-to-use form, the formula contains less than 1% ABF. This significantly minimizes the risks associated with fluorides. Role of ABF: ABF acts as a booster to enhance cleaning performance without making the product excessively harsh or dangerous. Citric Acid as the Major Solid: Mild Acidic Nature: Citric Acid is a weak organic acid that provides effective cleaning while being safer for use on various surfaces and posing minimal health risks. Glycol Ethers and Non-Ionic Surfactant Blend: Surfactants: The non-ionic surfactant blend is selected for its ability to emulsify oils and remove dirt without causing irritation or significant harm. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Handling Gloves and Eye Protection: Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling cleaning products, including Jimbo's Pure Magic Cleaner, to prevent direct contact with the skin and eyes. Inhalation and Skin Contact: While the concentration of ABF is very low in the ready-to-use form, it is still advisable to avoid inhaling the product mist and to cover exposed skin (arms and legs) during use to prevent irritation. Comparisons to Hydrofluoric Acid (HFA) Less Harmful: ABF, at the concentration used in this product, is less hazardous than Hydrofluoric Acid (HFA). HFA is known for its severe toxicity and corrosive nature, whereas ABF at low concentrations offers effective cleaning with reduced health risks.

Jimbo, great video. I have been using Poor Boys Spray and Rinse with great results. I'm gonna pick up a bottle of your product to use as well. I already have your new touchless soap on preorder :).

[@Danlon6]

Hey, really intrigued by your products and would love to try them. Any plans for getting them to the UK?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Working on it. But it’s a process

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

Once again, I unfortunately have to disagree with you. Your statement that „ANY“ wheel cleaner with a reactive / colour changing ingredient in it does not clean well is just factually wrong. Just because something is not available in the US doesn‘t mean it doesn‘t exist. Try for example the Dr. Wack P21S High-End Wheel Cleaner. Also, if your acidic wheel cleaner does that to the rotors, what does it do to other non-cleaecoated parts on the car (wheel nuts, suspension parts)?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I see your point. I should have added that I technically haven’t used every color changing product in the world. All wheel cleaners have the opportunity to degrade surrounding areas. Not just acidic ones, plus don’t you think manufactures account for this?

[@0DeadSoul0]

Question, are you speaking of the flash surface rust on the brake disc or something else?

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

@@autodetailingpodcast you mean car manufacturers or car care manufacturers?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

@@AndreasSchwarzingerboth. Car manufactures have to consider things like this and car care manufactures have to do the same. If it’s going to ruin something that’s liability on both sides.

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

@@autodetailingpodcast I know for a fact that in both camps, not all manufacturers consider this. That‘s why almost all car care manufacturers always write „test first“ on their bottles so that they aren‘t liable.

[@0DeadSoul0]

What about wheels that are single stage paint? Safe or unsafe?

Iron removers are supposed to be used on cars that produce high amounts of brake dust. They car you tested the iron remover on does not have high performance brakes. I would never use an acid based wheel cleaner. Too risky. Wise Guy & Adam's are legit alkaline wheel cleaners. I don't mind having to agitate a bit.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Fair enough. Megs has discontinued wheel brighter and not all acids are created equal. Most will make you choke and feel like you’re dying. This isn’t like that at all.

[@Jarph0821]

One word - DARK FURY...and why are you using an acid cleaner vs. a normal wheel cleaner...what in the world kind of comparison is that?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It’s for people who maybe wondering the difference.

[@fretho8410]

This demonstration is flawed. Acid cleaners are indeed the best for brake dust, whereas alkaline cleaners are the preferred choice for grime and tire cleaning - a task for which acidic cleaners are only mediocre. So if you have a really dirty wheel, you would still need to use an alkaline wheel cleaner to clean the tire properly. Also, when reviewing a product from one's own product line, it's hardly going to be strictly objective - not in the sense that what is shown is false, but that you can choose the setting for which your own product will do best (only brake-dust issue, not focus on tire cleaning performance, possibility to highlight where the other products didn't do well etc.)

[@autodetailingpodcast]

There will always be those that don’t believe no matter what I do. You will always find the flaw.

[@fretho8410]

@@autodetailingpodcast I think you have a great channel, my point is just that reviewing one's own products is bound to be biased. You can call me a sceptic, but I don't find it credible that you would actually show it if your own product brand came out inferior to some of the other brands.
