Need to do a review on duracoatings products

[@tonypiver9695]

Have you ever used P&S Hawaiian Shine. I have been using it since the mid 1990s and it performs great and has a long lasting shine. I never see anything on KZbin talking about it. I love to use P&S products. Hope you can do a video on this product.

[@jotighe2]

@@derekneedham1540 just checking them out because you mentioned it. it's dura-coating, right? duracoatings is another industrial company I think. and I agree (I'm not sure if Pan reviewed these already). I just started catching up, and he has reveiwed so many products and companies- its a library!

[@mu5mu595]

I've been using this as a makeshift contamination remover on paint also, real iron removers such as ironx are not available in the shops in my area, but the Meg's ultimate wheelcleaner you can pick up from any supermarket. Added bonus when you use it as iron remover on paint: because it's a gel-like solution it sticks on the paint much better than regular iron remover and doest run off as fast.

[@mutatedgenome]

I just used this product for my chemical iron decontamination step. It works amazingly well. Some parts stores run sales on this for buy 1 get next 50% off. At around $10 here in the US, it is a better bang-for-the-buck than other iron removers.

[@bikeomatic8005]

I have been using this to clean my wheels for two years now. Didn’t really mind the smell or give it much thought to be honest. Never tried anything else so cannot compare. Yes it’s expensive, and for my use it wasn’t too efficient. I could easily use up a bottle for all 4 wheels. I don’t think it really matters how long you leave it after applying. I would leave it for a minute or so and then use brushes. I think a lot will depend how much elbow grease you are willing to use to clean the wheel so I never had any dirty spots on the front of the wheel or on the inside (as long as I was able to reach these areas with the brush). I would give all the tight spots a go with meguires small brush (cant remember the name) and after rinsing still wash the wheel with soft brush and dedicated washmit. Always had a great result but I could easily spend 30 min per wheel. I noticed that it was rather heavy on the tyre and mine got this brownish look, so I had to apply tyre dressing which I don’t really like and then stopped spraying the wheel cleaner on the tyre at all if possible. Just used a harder brush with some shampoo water. All in all always good results but quite expensive if you go through a bottle or sometimes bottle and a half per wash.

[@JOSEPHwHAN]

Sounds like a therapeutic session. If you ever feel like going an easier route for your wallet, check out Pan's other videos on how to clean tires and how you can dilute product with water. Once you clean your tires all nice and clean, the next time will be easier cuz of maintenance!

@Bikeo Matic You will get better product usage with a pump up pressure sprayer. I going do all 4 wheels and do a full iron decon/claybar on an SUV WITH 1 bottle. As far as price it's actually cheap.

Too expensive considering P&S is less expensive and does a similar job. You can also use the Eagle One tire cleaner to target the rust deposits and cheaper at around $5 a bottle.

[@HappyPower]

I noticed that no matter what I do, this cleaner and most cleaners rust my rotors, but I wonder if it's because my rotors are simply bad, they had some surface rust when I bought the car as well. Might need to upgrade to coated ones! Overall though, this cleaner Is very good for the price.

[@citus44]

All rotors rust, does not matter if you use wheel cleaner or not. The first time you use your brakes the rust is gone. Let it go, this is not a problem. 100% normal operation.

[@Sticknmove77]

@@citus44 I agree. I clean my wheels first then the car. By the time I'm finished there's a light rusting on the rotors. Take for a spin and after a few stops it's gone.

[@carbonoxx]

thats the nature of metal.............if your does not rust....its not pure steel

[@PanTheOrganizer]

All steel rotors (brake discs) rust after a car wash, regardless if you use a wheel cleaner or not. It's the nature of the metal. It's just surface rust though, and it goes away as soon as you brake the first time. A trick to not get that, is as soon as you are done with your final rinse, drive up and down your driveway while lightly applying the brakes. Then dry your car.

[@HappyPower]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan!

[@Ben-bj6ck]

I love these wheel cleaners. I have used Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner before about a year ago and its fantastic. I would love to see it fight against Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus, which is what I use for my current heavy duty wheel cleaner. The thing I wanted to ask is that, can I also use these kinds of iron removing wheel cleaners as an iron remover as well, I ran out of IronX and it's going to take about two-three weeks shipping delay.

[@rfendlen]

I've been using this product for 2 years along with Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel. I think it's great; even works better than most others if you dilute it 50/50,it sprays a better mist for more coverage that way too, so you use less product and it works just as well in my opinion!

[@kimnewling5728]

Looks like a good product. Your demonstration of products is top notch due to the fact your video equipment and lighting is fantastic. Great job.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the positive feedback as usual Kim! Much appreciated.

[@Nicholas-db5sl]

I agree. No matter if the product is good or bad, or it’s in-between, the product itself is “showcased” so you can make your own judgment. I will say this though, you can’t go wrong with purchasing any of the products that PTO recommends as , well, let’s be honest! The hard work has already been done for you!

[@DiiZeh_]

I’d always pre-rinse the wheels regardless. Otherwise you’re just agitation gritty contamination around the wheels causing marring/swirls.

[@therealevo77]

The directions clearly say to apply on a dry wheel. Why? Because a wet wheel dilutes the cleaner. Also if most of the wheel is wet, the cleaner cannot adhere to all the surfaces to properly do its job of breaking down the ferrous deposits and dirt/grime. It just ends up running down the side of the wheel to the ground because of the standing water on the wheel. This product is extremely lubricious and foamy. So after letting it sit for a few minutes, if you take a wet soft detailing brush to agitate the surface, the only way you would marr the surface is if you put a shit ton of force on it, which no one in their right mind should ever do. In the end when used as directed and with a good practice, this cleaner does a fantastic job cleaning and will not marr delicate paint surfaces. I'm speaking from experience using it on gloss black wheels with a super soft finish.

[@yousef.al-assaf]

@@therealevo77 Give the wheels a rinse and let it dry then. It's not always optimal to spray this product on any dry surface. Some surfaces have lots of loose-dirt build up that you wanna get rid of before applying the product, or else you would be wasting it on fighting the loose-dirt.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I always pre-rinse wheels as well in my regular wheel cleaning regimen (as shown also in my wheel and tire cleaning tutorial video on my channel). But for initial product testing, I always follow the instructions of the manufacturer, so I did exactly as instructed on the label here. Also, you get people complaining that you didn't follow the instructions if you decide to do as you wish haha. Welcome to the internet.

[@albertvelez6386]

I recently used this product and I must say it performed well beyond what I expected. I would like to see a comparison with P21S Gel. Overall you can't go wrong with Meguiars Ultimate.

[@realmccoyarmada]

I did a test on this meguaire ultimate wheel cleaner and chemical guy’s Diablo for my forged wheel. Chemical guys didn’t do much, other than just clean it abit, whereas the Meguaire one really made my wheels Stand out (looking spanking new). Thumbs up for Meguaire Ultimate wheel cleaner, highly recommend it

[@Jxck_e46]

Prefer buying p&s break buster as a 5litre, then you can dilute it in a bottle, saves product and then money. Seems like this stuff is a bottle per wash

[@ohboy2592]

I have three cars and usually get 6 washes per bottle and sometimes up to 8.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You could probably get 4 to 5 washes out of this one bottle. Not economical in my opinion, but it was a good wheel cleaner.

[@warrenalbert7922]

I tried this on my MB wheels because Brake Buster didn't remove caked on brake dust near the lug nuts. The Meguiars Ult worked great at removing the dust from those areas with agitation. I will still use P&S for maintenance and pull this out when needed.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah for super heavily caked on brake dust on super dirty wheels, it's best to use more powerful wheel cleaners with color changing technology and sometimes even acid based. For regular maintenance, as most of my viewers drive clean cars, P&S Brake Buster and Adam's Wheel & Tire Cleaner are perfect for that task. And they clean both wheels and tires, as opposed to just wheels like most wheel cleaners. So Brake Buster is super versatile. And less expensive as you can also dilute it in a pump sprayer. I can dilute Brake Buster up to 1:10 in my Marolex Axel foaming pump sprayer!! :)

[@TheMrrolland77]

Great product , I feel like it does a better job on tires when you agitate it quicker , product also works super well diluted in a pump sprayer , but with brake buster at 40cad for a gallon it's really hard to beat

[@DrVenom63]

i would still use p&s brake buster because of the price, dilution and cleaning capability for tires and wheels.

[@captaina4458]

For semi dirty wheels BB is fine but BB doesn’t compare to this in terms of strength at cleaning.

[@bryanCLXT]

My thoughts exactly. Iron remover for paint spray the rims and spray the whole bad boy down

[@simonb6306]

Love to know the price per tyre rate in any comparison video. High price items like this lead you to cleaning them properly and protecting the alloy so you don’t need much on future maintenance washes. A good alloy coating saves sooooo much work removing break dust.

[@twbluff2030]

I’ve been using meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner for 6 months now and I love it, works great I feel like it’s fantastic and could even be used professionally!

[@citus44]

Meguiar's may not make the 100% best products for all applications, BUT, in my experience you can ALWAYS trust that you will get the best, or very near the best results no matter which Meguiar's product you use. Just a note, I owned an Auto Detail shop and Car Dealership before I joined the United States Air Force, I served 22 YRS. and retired, Now I am back doing what I loved doing all those years ago, Detailing Cars. ( mostly my own ) You can NOT go wrong with any Meguiar's product.

[@mixgraffix]

I use this for really caked on dirty wheels. Its the best for this application. It foams, lubricates, and cleans very well and easily. Then I use P&S Brake Buster to clean the tires and wheel arches/wells. Perfect combo!

[@brentonl2631]

Meguiars always does a great job, for me you seem to use a lot of product and wonder if cheaper brands give you the same outcome. Thanks Pan. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I made a video about my favourite wheel & tire cleaners here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJe8i5tnpqdkgrs

[@PLoveday]

One thing to note is Meguiars stated it was safe to use on paint so could make a great iron remover for general use for the money!

[@Nicholas-db5sl]

I’ve used this product. It’s very good. I spray it on the face and inner barrels of my alloy wheels, allow to dwell (probably a key point to follow), a quick agitation within the barrels. If the foam turns brown, it’s an indication of road dirt, if it’s purple then it’s brake dust/iron contamination. Once agitated, I spray the wheel off with water and move onto the next alloy wheel. At the end of each alloy wheel I use two micro fibre cloths. One to dry off the face/spokes of the alloy wheel and the second cloth to dry off the inner barrels. I check the microfibres cloth for dirt residue and if you’ve done a good job, then there should be no signs of soiling on the cloths. I also wash off any agitation brushes in clean water so that I’m not introducing dirt from previous wheel cleaning sessions to the next. I recommend this product, but it is pricey.

[@YasumotoUS]

I finally got around to using this product (Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner) to clean up my winter wheels before putting them onto the car. I felt like this product did an excellent job with reasonable effort. In my case, physical agitation and a pressurized rinse effectively cleaned the tire walls. I was really pleased at how just a spray application and pressurized rinse cleaned my very dirty calipers (the WRX STI brembos) with the OEM wheels still on. Those things accumulate a ton of brake dust in little time. The product's scent was negligible relative to some iron removers and the pricing was around $15 / bottle.

[@woodhead0823]

I've tested sooo many wheel cleaners and Meguiars despite being expensive are always good but the bleeding normal version is incredible especially with a but of agitation 👊🏻

I have used this product it works great and can be found locally it does a good job as an iron remover also

[@LordHolley]

Why does anybody just not use simple green mixed 50/50? It's cheap and it works amazing.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

All-purpose cleaners, especially household ones like Simple Green (not automotive grade), are decent for lightly dirty or soiled wheels. But they don't contain the brake dust removing technology or chemistry to fight dirt and grime found on roads the same way as proper wheel cleaners. Case in point, even if you clean your car often and use Simple Green on your wheels and they seem clean to the naked eye, I would bet that if you were to spray an iron remover with color changing technology, the wheels would heavily bleed that red/purple tint indicating a chemical reaction with the brake dust and iron particles. The same goes for using APCs to clean tires. Yeah they work "ok" for regular quick use on lightly soiled tires, but they don't contain the surfactants or other cleaning chemistry required to tackle ozonites and browning, etc. I will have a video soon on many topics answered by a leading chemist in the car detailing industry, and he'll give answers to all those questions like the one you asked so stay tuned. In the meantime, watch my popular wheel and tire cleaning tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqXi4enbKZqqMU

[@Eric-fz7on]

I’ve used this in the past, it does a good job but that one bottle doesn’t go very far. You get 3 cars max because you really need to put it on thick to get best results. It’s not great on tires either as you can see.

[@zonedout5998]

True but to be fair it isn’t a tire cleaner. Just a wheel cleaner. So nobody expects this spray to clean the tires.

[@therealevo77]

You don't need to put it on thick by spraying heavy in every nook and cranny. Your wasting product. Really dirty or just dirty wheels need agitation. This isn't a spray and rinse. As long as you mist all the surfaces of the wheel to coat all areas, the gel formula will cling on and do its job breaking down ferrous metals and dirt/grime. This way you can stretch the bottle a long way if your conservative on the trigger. Also if your not letting this cleaner sit long enough to do its job then it's going to be less effective.

( The previous owner has done several tire changes, so there were at least 3 separate locations of glue on each rim) You need to keep flicking/ peeling a corner of the tape up until you can carefully grab it with the pliers to avoid scratching your rim. then when you pull, you get 1 square at a time, because they're semi-perforated.

This is a professional grade product in a consumer grade looking bottle. I wish you could get gallons.

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

I've tried this, it works well tbh. Just the smell is strong, I've used Wheel Cleaner from Adams, it's not as strong on scent but definitely good as well. This is a great consumer cleaner to really clean wheels, especially old ones or ones that haven't been cleaned in forever

[@berniehf]

Hi Pan, never been a fan of any wheel cleaner, there is always a need to finish detailing the wheel by hand, I just use car shampoo + my Kärcher power washer and finish them by hand, same result, is my personal opinion after many years of washing my cars.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Except sometimes I would still recommend an iron remover, as brake dust accumulates and a pH neutral car shampoo isn't enough to remove that.

Hi. Im learning how to clean our brand new car and tryes. As we live an apartment, we are going to wash our car in the self service manual car wash. I am going to buy the meguirs ultimate wheel cleaner as it good for dry wheel. My two questions: 1. Can I wash the tryes and wheels before going to self service ? 2. How to dry the wheels and tryes. We do not have the one you are using "dryer/blower"

[@kawzx777]

I bought a bottle and used as a iron remover for my paint. It did a pretty good job.

[@_symmetry_]

I really love this wheel cleaner from Meguiar's (I use SuperClean for the tires), and together with Adam's tire and wheel cleaner which is more expensive but a two in one solution, they are my favorites. One of my cars is a 2018 STi (I have never seen brakes generating dust like this) and Meguiar's Ultimate all wheel cleaner with a soft drill brush is the most efficient way I found to deeply clean those pesky enamelled wheels and calipers. Thanks for your great video once again Pan!! 😉

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching!

[@nickychavda]

I dont think I have bought any products from Megs that has been bad. Admittedly I have not purchased everything but everything I have bought has all been good. Problem for us in the UK is that its pretty expensive over here compared to the US otherwise it would be a no brainer of a purchase. As an example its costs £18 on amazon over here for the 700ml, but the equivalent Bilt Hamber auto wheels for 1000ml is about £13.

I have used Meguiar's Ultimate Wheel Cleaner now for a couple of months and I like it, but you have to use a lot of it so it doesn't really go as far as you think. There are other wheel soaps I like that I don't have to use much and it's still nice and foamy. Super good product though.

[@mach179]

I just gave it a try and it worked well. I have question(s). One neighbor dries his car with a 12-inch squeegee that is at least 1/4-inch thick. Another neighbor washes his truck with a brush you could use on an elephant. Anyway to politely suggest watching your channel?

I use this whenever I want to put a sealant on my wheels. It's pricey so for normal maintenance washes I use Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner. As far as price comparison: 48 oz (i.e. 2 bottles) = 1 gallon of Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner. The latter is dilutable 2:1 or 1:1 so it goes even further for the same money.

[@burningmanmike]

Amazon @ $28.98 USD. Just received a bottle today, and am anxious to give it a try!

[@jimbobjoe11]

It's by far my favourite and best bang for my buck. Any other wheel cleaner comes in a smaller bottle for more money. I like that it's a gel and sticks. I pay $14-16 in edmonton.

Meguires was my go to i until I started using more of griots products but for the most part they are still respected. I’ll buy Meguires when in a pinch I didn’t think the wheel cleaner was too impressive. Thanks for the review Pan, if I see this one I will try it next.

Your critique of Turtle Wax Wheel & Tire cleaner was that you used a lot of product. It appears as though a lot of product was used and it costs substantially more than Turtle Wax.

[@AG-yv8yb]

I gave this a try and been using it since. I used this on my oem gloss black wheels and honestly pretty hesitant especially having black wheels and compared to everything else I've tried this is the best so far. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and you can see it working. Smells like crap especially if you get some on your hands. Only downside is the bottle gets used up quickly I'm always buying a couple.

[@2Shine55]

Just recently used this. I saw some comments about it smelling like rotten eggs. Honestly it smelled like cherries to me.... I did an all wheels off detail. This stuff is AMAZING! I did however use the entire bottle on all four wheels. Can this product be diluted?

No it’s not meant to be diluted.

I've used this before, and have been satisfied with it's ability to clean wheels...but have often chose another "go to" wheel cleaner that is less expensive, and yet still effective. I also didn't seem to care for the spray head on this Meg's bottle? I read in another comment about using this as iron remover on paint (I think this originated from Scott at DPC?)...this left streaks when I tried that. Question for PAN: I've tried to make Extra Tough my all-around apc to minimize my collection of chemicals, but I just don't seem to get the best results all the time? I've been playing with diff dilutions to keep it strong enough without overkill to make the gallon last and get my money's worth. What are your dilution rations for it on tires? I think the fact that it does not suds up as much as others is one factor I don't like...but I shouldn't have to go full strength on everything to get results economically. Keep up the good work Pan! thanks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

On tires I would use 3:1 (same goes for Super Clean).

I'm glad I watched this video, I'm on my 2nd spray bottle now. My Dad told me Meguiar's is great stuff, so I always gravitated towards their products. It works really well on chrome! I don't even need to contact wash chrome if I've used this on it. I'm looking for a video of wheels with soft paint if there are any suggestions?

[@magmaapex3218]

The way pan uses this product it looks like you can spend a whole bottle on 4 tires which isn’t really cost effective. I can go and get adams wheel and tire cleaner and dilute it 1 to 1 and it would probably clean just as if not better than this wheel cleaner and it would last me enough to clean all 4 of my tires 1 time a week for about a month but I usually wash my car once every 2 weeks.

[@DhDetails87]

Pan is spraying heavily bc he's doing a demo. I can do 4 wheels and have enough leftover to do a full decon/clay on a large SUV with one bottle of this poured into my pump sprayer.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Correct. This was a first time demo. In normal use, you could probably get 4 to 5 washes with one bottle.

[@zowenso]

Hello. I have a question. I just bought this and I’m wondering, the fact you apply this on a dry wheel, don’t you run the risk of scratching the wheel with debris that wasn’t rinsed off when using the brush? Thanks.

I just need your help here to protect them before I put them on the Camry. They cost me $108.54 for the set. So this is why I want to protect them before I put them on the Camry.

The easiest to protect wheels and hubcaps is to use a spray on rinse off ceramic based protection. Watch my wheel cleaning tutorial to see how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqXi4enbKZqqMU

Pan, what would we do without you? Always my go to when I have a product question or need a recommendation. Thank you for such great videos. Seeing that the wheels need polishing, how about a wheel polishing tutorial (for those of us that don’t have a 1 inch polisher). How would you go about removing fine scratches on clear coated wheels without the expense of purchasing a specialty polisher? Smallest I have is the Griots G8. Thanks again!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfortunately there are no miracles without proper tools. You need a small 1 or 2 inch polisher like a Rupes iBrid Nano to get into the intricate details of wheels. Polishing by hand would require 1000x more elbow grease and you’d never achieve the same levels of performance.

[@watchman6141]

Pan, you have mentioned in your videos from time-to-time about pH neutral car shampoos how do you know if the pH is 7 or neutral? I have never seen any car shampoo indicate whether their product is acidic, alkaline or neutral.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

They usually mention it on the label, or on the product website. There are slightly more alkaline shampoos that are meant to strip the surface from older waxes or sealants (like Adam's Strip Wash, Chemical Guys Clean Slate, Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash, AvalonKing Prep Shampoo, etc). Those shampoos typically aren't pH neutral. But the majority of automotive shampoos are pH neutral, unless stated otherwise in documentation or literature.

[@userdb75]

I've read this could damage the pads/rotors when spraying the wheels?

[@michaelbailey747]

Great video Pan as usual! We need you to try out Meguiar's D143 and see how it compares to this one (Meguiar's Ultimate All wheel cleaner) and maybe P&S brake buster. More economical at 32$ for a gallon or 4Liters(at carzilla). I found the Meguiar's ultimate all wheel cleaner better than the P&S brake buster but cost goes to the P&S for sure. How would the Pro Meguiar's D143 compare to both, and it's way more bang for the buck for sure? I use Gyeon wheel cleaner right now and it does a great job, but price for quality I don't think that they Gyeon has it for the win by far :(

[@chassy]

I used iit as an iron remover and it worked well. Cheaper than Iron X but now I use P&S.. 😉 For the wheels and tires I also use P&S. Best bang for our bucks. I also used the Autoglym Magma as an iron remover and it works well too, at a good price. You nevet mentioned that brand and it is easily accessible at Canadian Tire. 😄

[@Etienne-]

Why use dedicated products like that or extra tough when you can use products like an APC or even OPC perhaps. OPC, a product you know of I’m sure, Pan. It can be used for tires and wheels.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wouldn't recommend using APCs for every maintenance clean, as those are a bit too harsh and can strip existing protection over continued use. Some can even "dull" the finish. Use dedicated wheels and tire cleaners for regular maintenance cleans. Like the ones in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJe8i5tnpqdkgrs

[@demussmith787]

Thanks for your video my friend. I tested this against p&s brake cleaner. To my finding the Meguiar's is a good iron remover but couldn't clean as good as p&s brake cleaner. I tested on a heavy soiled BMW BBS honey cone rim. I am I huge Meguiar's fan but this one didn't work as good as I expected.

[@ghostwrench2292]

I’m still waiting to find a wheel cleaner for the white painted wheels on my ‘03 Mini Cooper. I have tried several - from P&S, Griots, Sonax, CG Diablo and some others. All (except Diablo) have no problem getting my white wheels clean. My issue with these cleaners is they leave a dull/matte finish on my wheels. I prefer a gloss finish and to get that, I must follow with wheel wax which I do not enjoy working with but I tolerate it so that I can get the gloss I want. All those cleaners do, however, work to my complete satisfaction on my other 2 cars with factory alloy wheels. Like Pan, I prefer the foaming action of Sonax and P&S to the no foam of Griots. I prefer the cost of P&S though. 🙂

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Wheel cleaners aren't meant to enhance gloss. They are meant to restore the natural look of what ever surface they are on. So when you are done cleaning your wheels, what I like to do is add a bit of extra protection super quickly with a spray on rinse off product like Gyeon Wet Coat. It ads hydrophobics, self-cleaning properties and boosts gloss. Watch my wheel cleaning tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqXi4enbKZqqMU

[@timblackwell3196]

[@Sticknmove77]

I use it and I like it. I'd like to use this for paint decon, I know it's PH balanced and "safe" for paint finishes, would you use it to remove iron from the paint before clay bar/paint correction? I like the price of this product. If I'm able to use for wheels and decon I'd like it even more :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Not sure I would use this product on paint as they don't mention it on the label. But typically, you use an iron remover first, and then clay the paint, and then move on to machine polishing.

[@maureenbelanger1345]

Hi Pan, more interested to see how it affected the dry silver disc, started to bleed but washed away with the rest of the foam. The disc though was left with a discolouration, even when dry appeared to flash rust. In the UK we use Bilt Hambers Atom Mac - any experience or thoughts on alternatives to prevent the flash disc rust following a clean. Such a pity to do a good job only to drive off and cover the clean wheels with a skim of brown dust again.
