Super Clean vs Adam's Wheel Cleaner on Wheels

[@bhaddietingzz164]

Adams didn’t look that different when u can buy a gallon of super clean for 10$

[@shaunnh2a585]

SHAWNCEY #CantEven Absolutely agree. Especially if you’re doing multiple trashed vehicles a week. Splitting hairs with the comparison.

[@marc4232]

Exactly

[@vunit8213]

Especially when they recommend full strength on wheels anyway... so a gallon of dedicated wheel cleaning super clean for $8-$10 or the 24oz-32oz of the other stuff?

[@conejo1562]

Yup

[@austinmoore1689]

Your also forgetting brake dust is metal and the Adams break it down from the formula you can’t see it when you use degreaser but it’s still there even tho it looks clean

[@keithmoss6625]

Super Clean, full strength

[@georgiannegooday9108]

Love this. However, on wheels I recommend a 50/50 dilution for the super clean. Both products are good, super clean @

[@DetailGroove]

Exactly!

[@BustahNutt]

This wasn’t a fair comparison. You should’ve done the Super Clean at 4:1. I’m sure the Adams is at full strength dilution.

[@nastynotch8314]

He double diluted when he sprayed water on the wheel, the surfactants now have to get thru the water first, but what do I know, I only sell carwash chemicals for a living...

[@chelsabailey1018]

My vote is for Super Clean. I use it ALL THE TIME on tires when detailing!!

[@supermariodrums]

50/50 super clean will eat through pretty much anything. The stuff is great. I find myself blowing through wheel cleaners claiming to be better for 10x the cost and work just as well as super clean.

[@rickbarg3980]

You should sold out super clean.

[@teuvojormanainen6543]

I find that you can get away with apc for a while but after some time more and more iron particles get stuck to the rim which the apc struggles to remove. At some point wheel acid or iron remover is needed to remove those imo. Looking forwards to the interesting series!

[@rubenbenavidez4161]

Okay I am down for this new series BUT the dilution rate should be followed per SuperClean chart to be fair.

[@DetailGroove]

Nothing will be perfect. That's why I'll be making more 😉

[@damagecontrol1049]

Adams wheel cleaner I'd give it to super clean but I'd use it at 4-1

[@notoriousanvil4465]

Please keep this series going. Seems like it’s going to be fun

[@wilmi79]

Good video but I’m sticking with Superclean, I use it straight with no dilution and it works just as well if not better than Adams.

[@nutritionperfection]

Who uses Superclean at 10:1 for wheels though and why did you further dilute by rinsing the wheel 1st? If you use the proper dilution ratio for the job there is no need to rinse the wheel 1st and most detailers use 4:1 or 5:1 Superclean for wheels. I know you said not to get caught up about the ratio but nobody uses 10:1 on dirty wheels and further diluting it by rinsing introduces an unneeded variable. It's better to test a realistic ratio under proper conditions IMO. Still appreciate your videos though. The fact that you do it on typical customer vehicles and aren't a shill keeps me watching. I look forward to the future dilution ratio tests. I've not used the Adams stuff but Superclean is just as effective as Megs wheel brightener with the correct dilution for the job (at least in my world).

[@MahendraSingh-rp6er]

yeah most detailers use 4:1/5:1, that wheel 10:1 on this wheels is no no, its already cheap just use 4:1

[@DetailGroove]

No worries. That's why I'll be making more 😁

[@rondunlap9232]

One question? Doesn’t super lean say to use it either apply it directly or a 4:1 application?

[@MahendraSingh-rp6er]

everything he sells is rebadged items already on amazon, his ceramic coating on amazon is 10$, hes selling for 100$, then wants 1500$ to apply it at his shop, hes a total rip off to ppl who dont know about detailing. some all purpose cleaner in a $3zep bottle for $40 is insane. literally all his items are rebadged and overpriced

[@chrisrichard8194]

I've used Super Clean at about 5 to 1. Works really well with some srubing. And alot cheaper

[@Calendyr]

Gonna use Canadian dollar prices for the comparison. Adam's Wheel Cleaner sells for 80$ in Canada, and Superclean sells for 25$ for the gallon. Would have been nice to see it used full strength since it already has a major price advantage on Adam's. In my experience, Superclean is not as good a cleaner as Meguiar's products. In order to get the same result I get from Meg's APC+ at 10:1. I need to use Superclean at 5:1. Still, the fact you can get it locally and sometimes on sale at 18$ per gallon makes it a good product to use. I think you would have gotten about the same result from Superclean as Adam's if you did not dilute it that much. Also you mention you use it 10:1, if you have to do the work twice to save a few pennies, is that really the best way? A quart of Superclean at 3:1 would cost you almost nothing in the USA. I have seen people say it sells for less than 10$ a gallon. So diluted 3:1 it would cost you less than 75 cents per quart... not worth doing the work twice to save on that.... at least for me.

[@jagayong9333]

Comparing APCs to APCs or fallout removing wheel cleaners to other fallout removing wheel cleaners is a fair comparison, but APC vs fallout removing wheel cleaners or in this case, diluted APC vs full strength fallout removing wheel cleaner, is not a fair comparison. As the saying goes, it’s like comparing apples against oranges. Comparison testing is great as a concept but please make sure the methodology applied are fair, so your conclusions are not misleading.

i mix super clena 4/1 with a little dish soap and i use a clorox foaming bottle so it clings and doesn't all just run away then agitate.

[@jdawgod]

Detail Groove, keep up the videos man. I’ve learned a lot of good things from you and it’s taught me that it’s really not as hard as it’s set out to be. Other detailers are using multiple step processes and by watching you, you do it the way less difficult way and get similar results. I work at a Toyota dealership in Nebraska and work in the detail department only making 50$ per car while being as intricate as I see you. I know the time to money ratio is off but I always find myself trying to work for perfection and losing money per hour I’m spending on the same car. I apologize for the long comment but would you suggest anything that would help me out?

[@Shawn-sc5uk]

Think Both products do the same end result, as they do the same thing. I think what really makes a difference is the efforts of agitating ( you do good job) barrels are a must. The splattering does suck but that red brush @ 7:27 looks like less spatter than cone brush. True? Thanks for the videos

[@reneeelias7168]

I thinkthey are both going to clean equally well.

[@eddiel7033]

Super Clean themselves say to dilute 4:1 for wheel cleaning. Not seeing the point in 10:1, unless you're trying to demonstrate how weak and diluted the Adam's is.

[@bevinmccaine6569]

Super clean dilution chart states to use at full strength for tires and wheel. Unfair comparison and even at 10 to 1 it still did not loose by much if you look at the results.

[@Hannah-rq9li]

Okay but can we talk about superclean on aluminium? Specifically polished, doesnt it ruin it?? I'm not hating, I use superclean on every detail, my main product choice. But for wheels/engine bays this is where I'm afraid to use... What's your experience with this?

[@jliscorpio]

If Super Clean is used at full strength, can it clean a dirty wheel without scrubbing? Need something you can spray, let sit for 5 minutes and then just rinse off.

I would have to say the Adam's came out more of a foam where the super clean looks like you would have to give it a good soaking comes out more like a mist

[@noetoledo8501]

I would rather use the Adam's Wheel Cleaner than Super Clean for the simple fact that you dont have to dilute something that is very strong and concentrated and risking of damaging someone's property.

[@justinbeasley3011]

Use the Adams all purpose cleaner compared to super clean. Diluted equally and Adams will still shock people.

[@droman320]

Super clean hands down

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

I thought the Adams wheel cleaner was only supposed to be used on the wheels. Isn't the tire and rubber cleaner designed to clean the tire?

[@DetailGroove]

You can but It's mostly labeling. You can use Super Clean (or any APC) diluted 4:1 for wheels and tires, 10:1 for leather and cloth, and 1:1 for engine cleanings. Or you can purchase a dedicated wheel cleaner, dedicated tire cleaner, dedicated leather cleaner, dedicated cloth cleaner, etc... Which will cost a lot more

[@justinbeasley3011]

Detail Groove it might cost more on product up front but for the time it takes to dilute and the extra effort to scrub the wheels,seat, and carpets will make you lose money also. Buy the better products for the jobs and it will make more money in the long run. Once you remove most of the iron particles off the face and barrels of the wheels it will stay cleaner longer and easier to clean the next time.

[@KingTheDetailer]

Super clean has a ph level of 12 full strength, for 10$ and you can diluted in different ways for different things I think it’s by far the winner

I really dont understand why you diluted the super clean? It states to use full strength for wheels. Had you diluted the adam's 10:1 it would have been an fair comparison. Even at 4:1 the super clean would have equalled the adams product. I'm not knoking Adams. I just tought it was not a fair test by diluting one and not the other.

[@milinichsautodetail3124]

4:1 would have been the same as adams

From the beginning I can tell his favorite was Adams wheel cleaner you put more effort into cleaning with it its like u tried to purposely not let super clean win idk just my thoughts

[@Shawn-sc5uk]

Oh yeah I forgot about the yellow hugh on aluminum wheels and degreaser alone won’t brighten the wheel. Adams won!

[@1g2002541]

For the price, I'm giving it to the Super clean. For regular DIYers, if I cannot get it totally clean on the 1st try, I'd wait for the next car wash and hit it again with Super clean. For professionals, I say Adam's is better one.

[@paulblaser4146]

How do you know that it wasn’t the different brushes that made the difference? When chemical testing you only allow one variable, the chemical. Otherwise you could’ve achieved those results for any number of reasons.

[@memnoch1974]

Awesome. Listen I think it would be important to dilute the products to a near close concentration. Super Clean has a caustic concentration of about 5% according to the SDS sheets. So diluting it 10:1, you have a super clean solution of about 0.5% caustic power. I do not know about the Adams but you said Adams was an APC? A degreaser and APC have different chemistries. Both perform fairly close but active ingredients are different and that is what makes it a degreaser or APC. So if Adams is an APC, then I do not think you are comparing apples to bananas. No good.
