    Iron remover for wheels

    I ordered some Poorboys spray and rinse. We'll see how that works. I emailed the folks at Griot's Garage about this. Got the reply after ordering but they suggested to start with iron and fallout remover followed up with their wheel cleaner. I wonder if steam cleaning would work?

    Iron remover for wheels

    Can you suggest an acid based cleaner sold at autogeek? Is megs wheel cleaner different from other products like Wolfgang wheel cleaner? Someone else had suggested acid cleaner but I couldn't find anything described as such. Thanks.

    Wax-Sealer Question

    Or try Klasse All in one. It doesn't bead water but sheets it off. Does a great job cleaning paint and lasts a decently long time. It's acrylic instead of polymer like most sealants. It won't do much for scratches and swirl marks though since it isn't an abrasive AIO.

    Iron remover for wheels

    Will an iron remover product work better on wheels that were probably never cleaned properly since 01 vs a regular wheel cleaner? Maybe I just need to repeat the process with the Wolfgang wheel cleaner several times? I'm going to compound, polish and seal my truck and need to get these wheels...

    Idea for a "advanced" AIO detail

    I've used sonax and optimum spray wax over klasse aio. Since the klasse doesn't bead water thought I'd try that. After one good rain there was little beading on the hood. Not sure that method would please a customer if they expect water beading to last awhile. Seems to be something better for...

    Have confidence in your brand new detailing business!

    I started a one man lawn care business after retiring and work harder now than when I was working. Thinking of trying the detailing business when this slows down later in summer. Good to know it's something that can work out with some effort.

    Waterless car wash Question/help

    I use the Optimum no rinse and like it. Convenient and saves money vs car wash. You aren't going to get much if any paint protection from a rinseless or waterless wash. Living in Florida I wouldn't use carnauba wax because it won't stand up to the heat. A polymer sealant like Wolfgang deep gloss...

    Wheels too far gone for WG wheel cleaner

    Don't know why my truck is upside down. Punishment for letting the wheels get so bad.

    Wheels too far gone for WG wheel cleaner

    I tried but my wheels are too dirty for basic wheel cleaner. Someone mentioned an acid product but I'm not familiar with them. Any specific product suggestions to deal with this? I believe they are clear coated aluminum. It's an 01 F150. Here's a pic. If a close up of the wheels would help I'll...

    Polishing question

    Say I'm using Wolfgang polish prior to their sealant. If I start with swirl remover is it essential that I then use the finishing glaze prior to sealing? Will swirl remover leave it smooth enough for sealant or would I be skipping a vital step?

    Cleaning filthy wheels

    I'll try a regular cleaner first but if it isn't good enough your idea would be next. Thanks.

    Cleaning filthy wheels

    I've got an 01 F150 with beautiful paint and filthy neglected wheels. I bought some black magic wheel cleaner at Walmart and of course the results were not good. Looking at buying a Wolfgang wheel cleaning kit and getting serious about taking care of this. Would the products in this kit clean...

    Sealant over klasse all in one

    I do use the klasse AIO as a paint cleaner and always put a sealant over it. Now I know what I'm doing is a good method. Thanks much.

    Sealant over klasse all in one

    Good idea but I already did both vehicles with AIO so sealant is next. Maybe next spring I'll try one with AIO and one with a pure cleaner.

    Sealant over klasse all in one

    I've used klasse hg sealant, blackfire and Wolfgang sealant over klasse aio. I just wanted to be sure the acrylic and polymer were compatible and using them together wasn't a mistake. Sounds like it's not an issue. Thanks much.

    Sealant over klasse all in one

    I've been using the klasse all in one prior to applying sealant like blackfire. I'm wondering if I should be putting sealant directly on the paint for better adhesion. Do most sealants bond good with the klasse or am I going to get a shorter life span doing it that way? Would it be better to use...
