    Dilute or not to dilute? That is the question.

    I dilute Adams Wheel and Tire Cleaner 2:1. I drive a hybrid, rims are fully ceramic coated, and don't usually get too dirty. Adams diluted 2:1 seems to be just as effective for me as using it undiluted. To be honest, I could probably get away with using any basic PH neutral car soap to clean...

    Getting the annual polish in while on baby's time.

    Congratulations and great plan . My situation is different....My wife's car sits outdoors in a gated lot. However, I can never seem to find enough time to do a full exterior detail. I'm also planning on doing one panel at a time, (pre-wash, wash, chemical decon, clay, polish, and apply a...

    How often do you shampoo your carpets wet vac?

    I also have the small Bissell carpet extractor. I have fabric seats so I extracted all seats and the carpets when I first got the extractor. Since then, I've extracted the driver and passenger carpets only, and the passenger seat because I had a light stain. I would not recommend extracting...

    Adams wheel and tire cut 1:1

    Yes, that's how I use it. I stumbled upon this product awhile back when I was going on a shopping spree for Adam's products. I love the Adam's Wheel and Tire cleaner. If foams very well and cleaning power is more then adequate for my use. It used to cost $45/galloon but the price has recently...

    What containers do you use to store your bulk diluted chemicals?

    These should work for me, thanks for the recommendations. I'll pick some up and give them a try.

    Storing chemicals already diluted?

    And what's your strategy for pouring from the gallon jug into your spray bottles? I've been using a funnel but notice that I still get a bit of spillage.

    What containers do you use to store your bulk diluted chemicals?

    Hi Everyone, We all have our favorite chemicals that we use frequently. For me, it's SuperClean, Adams Wheel and Tire Cleaner, Detail Spray, Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, and a few others. I'm interested in finding an affordable solution for 1-3 gallon containers with spouts that I can use...

    Rim and tire Cleaner

    I used to use super clean diluted on both the rims and tires. For the last year or so, I switched to Adams Wheel and Tire cleaner and absolutely love it. It suds up really well and provides a lot of lubrication. From my experience, almost any product you use will work well, to get tires and...

    Coating after polishing headlights

    If I recall correctly, I believe I paid $140. I was looking online and I know they make pre-cut PPF for my cars headlights and it cost around $89 so I might consider trying to install the next set myself. If I wanted to go even cheaper, I can just buy a roll of PPF and cut it myself but I don't...

    Coating after polishing headlights

    This makes sense, thanks for the feedback. I just don't love the idea of changing it every 12 months, lol, it seems like a worthy investment so I'll certainly consider it.

    Coating after polishing headlights

    When I bought my car I immediately had PPF added to the headlights because a friend recommended it but I never bothered to ask why it's a good idea and how long the PPF will help with preventing oxidation from building on my headlights. Can someone explain how PPF helps prevent headlights from...

    Black trim on a new Highlanderr.

    Looks like a WETS is a favorite among the members on this forum. I've also been thinking of giving it a try. I also have a relatively new car, that's garage kept. It has a lot of plastic trim and currently I'm using Adams VRT after every other wash to keep the exterior plastics conditioned and...
