Koch Chemie made a really great choice using that guy as a USA manager/wholesaler. Extremely knowledgeable, knows his products backwards, seems totally approachable. Thanks for the video Josh. Always love the content. Hello all from Down Under Australia... Straya!.. oi oi oi...
Could you please explain the difference between and acid wheel cleaner and the Alkaline one? They are both chemically opposite but seems to produce similar results... Seems like an acid wheel cleaner is very strong but could potentially damage some wheels. What's the case of the alkaline?
An Alkaline pH will remove all residues of organic origin, such as road dirt, oil, gnats and organic residues. An Acid pH will remove all residues of inorganic origin, such as limescale, water marks and acid rain residues
Im in Europe, and we basically don't have any Adams over here... This explains why. Btw: I think Adams W&T is more 13,5 or so. Brakebuster is 12ish. But as Pan T O explained, if you've coated your wheels, you probably want to stick with Brakebuster or similar products with a pH of 12ish or lower.
It’s no comparison…MWC is a strong wheel cleaner that you spray on (don’t rinse with water before), let dwell, spray off (don’t even need to agitate)…brake buster isn’t even close…I say this all the time, I prefer Adam’s wheel and tire cleaner over brake buster
😂. Right The problem is they are appealing on fear. You fear missing out. And in return you have a lighter wallet and too much crap in your garage We never even had any level of this technology 20 years ago. Yet we’re still unsatisfied
Exactly! It simply gets overwhelming. To the point of not caring. I want something to use as a treatment for my 45 year old vinyl top. Something that lasts a bit longer than the 2 weeks I get out of 303! So, which product do I use?
I haven’t tried this product but I’ve been using Adam’s wheel cleaner and a little bit of degreaser in my IK foamer and all the brown comes out of the tires right away so when I don’t add degreaser the foam just stays white so the degreaser from 3D works well in the tire foam. I do see this one does brown out as well but the alkaline feature is nice with this product though. Now for that tire glaze since it’s silicone based does that absorb and leech the tire oils eventually having them crack and dry rot? I think that’s why most of us use the water based tire dressings.
Absolute best wheel rim cleaner money can buy is Superior wheel acid at o'reillys auto store for $20 per gallon. Of course if the rims are aluminum you would not use an acid base cleaner. but this is the best.
This brand is absolutely fire! Women like to online shop for clothes and shoes and put a bunch of shit in their cart that they’re never gonna buy. I do the same thing but with this brand only difference is that I actually throw my paycheck at it lol they can have all my money. I kind of got in a slump with detailing over the last couple weeks because it hasn’t been very fun for me lately but two weekends ago I got a couple of their products for the first time, and it’s hands-down the best stuff I’ve ever used
Hey Josh where do you announce your giveaway winners? I entered into both the hose giveaway and the polisher giveaway and haven’t seen any announcements on the winners. TIA
My go to tire cleaner for the longest time has been Eagle One AtoZ tire and wheel cleaner. That stuff gets expensive and is harder to find. In my experience that stuff does a great job of cutting thru grimy buildup on the tire. I recently bought Adam's Tire and Rubber cleaner to see if it can replace the Eagle One. For tire cleaner, I always look at buying 1/2 gallons or full gallons since I go thru so much of it. Crossing my fingers on Adam's to fit my needs.
For hardened grease it’s best to do a wheels off cleaning. Citrol 266 is pretty good for grease and tar. Or you could use whatever high alkaline cleaner you have and alternate between that and a tar remover. I haven’t found anything that will take that kind of stuff off in one step. Although Mcguiars Ultimate wheel and tire is a great product that kind of does it all. The downside is that you will go thru that $14 dollar bottle on one set of super dirty wheels and you might not get everything if the wheels are on the car.
That’s a great question and I don’t have an exact answer to it. Magic wheel is a bit more potent I believe but reactive wheel also works great and it’s a slightly better value!
I have 2 questions. Have you ever used tc ceramic detail spray on fiberglass shower wall? Is it safe for fiberglass? 2nd I read an article claiming to use a spray wax as a tire shine? Any thoughts? Thanks
Thanks for your video. This is a lazy end user question (lazy because I could spend hours searching online), but couldn't help but want t ask, what exactly is the "brown" stuff that comes off of tires in almost all of the various wheel cleaning product videos? Is that the same reaction when sprayed on brand new tires?
Antiozonant is added to the rubber to mitigate damage from ozone such as cracking. When antiozonant oxidizes it turns brown and this process is called blooming. Tire cleaners remove the oxidation. Whether new tires will still have brown suds from tire cleaner I do not know
@@xxslayer255xx Thanks for your reply to my question. While I understand wanting to remove the oxidation for esthetic purposes, wonder if there is any negative consequence of aggressively removing it from our tires.. do we get prettier tires that end up cracking sooner? Just curious.
@@HoomanR17 im not a chemist by any means, but my understanding on blooming is that the brown from oxidized antiozonant is a byproduct of the reaction which protects the tire. By this, the browning is not a benefit nor a detriment to tire protection: merely a consequence of it. The following is my own interpretation based on what I have read from Dr. Beasley's article called "Why Are My Tires Brown": Removing blooming does not harm the tire unless an overly aggressive cleaning method or solution is used which damages the rubber. If reasonable care is taken and reasonable chemicals are used, then there should be no harm to the rubber. Finally, blooming can be mitigated through using tire dressings, but I have read from more than just Dr Beasley's that some silicone-based tire dressings can cause premature cracking in the rubber. I often see water-based tire dressings recommended instead because of this. I personally use Chemical Guys VRP for dressing my tires as it is cheap, easy to apply, dilutable if need be, and isn't overly shiny. Im 99% sure it is water-based as well. In the past I used Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel but I did not like how it applied, looked, and it is silicone-based. The Dr. Beasley's article recommends their own dressing called Tire Conditioner which is more expensive than VRP, but likely is a better product as the people at Dr Beasley's tend to value science more than most companies I see in the detailing industry and outside of it. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
Does the awh need to be foamed on only or can it be sprayed on as well? Is it just preference? I just got some and want to mix it up, not sure of foamer or sprayer? Thank you for the great content.
You bet! I just did a video on that BEST AIR COMPRESSORS For Car Detailing And Home Garage - FULL TEST ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FZ60OKISoNE.html
Hey guys don’t forget about Hyde’s Rustopper for the brake rotor. It prevents oxidation and flash rust. If you would like me to send you samples I can.
Not sure if you made a video of these or not ,but aren't those blue colored bottles on that rack just over your left shoulder koch chemie products also??
Need an answer as my wheels are worth significantly more than my expensive tires... Can KCx MWC safely be used on matte finished wheels (not tires) [ref: Honda HPD model # 08W18-TGS-100A]? An honest answer is greatly appreciated.
