ADS is a favorite of mine and others here, exceeding expectations across the board, here's a snap shot from today

So the contrast here is perfect for the "real world" comparison. First up is my g/f's TAOS tire. Now her's were coated 2x's 4 weeks ago, with nothing more than touch-free washes since then and ZERO touching or re-applying anything, the most honest, 4 week durability possible️

The next pic is yours truely. Now my tires were cleaned thoroughly last weekend, 1 coat of ADS Ghost applied, cured for about 10 minutes and I back out in the cold. Now the previous application was about 6 weeks old and has had 5 touch-free washes in the past 2 weeks

I should also add we had a little snow/salt and a streak of minus zero weather, so our ADS Ghost coated tires have been tested, hers even more so️

What you see in THESE pics is from her 40 mile round trip in horrible rain this morning, mine is about a 7 mile round trip, not cleaned ofcoarse but a REAL WORLD pic of how they look when the cars are all dirty, including the tires

If your looking for a great tire coating that truely gets the job done, easy to apply, fun to apply with that blue tint and one that leaves the tires with a natrual sheen, I can include pics of the tires immediately after it's applied so you can see that if need be

Yeah I'd have to wait till hers are worn down all the way, great idea though and honestly, Mr. Cartoon is legit

I'll have a pic from today after the pre-wash foam and running it through the touch-free wash, stay "tuned"

So the re-application was done 10 days ago, here's today after pre-wash and run through the wash, still didn't touch it here

Do you have to strip off the old before adding a new layer or can you just layer on top. Stackable type product.

Well what I did after the initial 6 weeks was use ADS Tire Cleaner and scrubbed out the dirt, it was brown and looked "natrual" afterwards and I just applied the coat

Sorry about the lighting being different from the other photo but this picture is from today after a touch-free wash, no touching/drying it, just drove home 3.6 miles. This was applied over a month ago, driven through all sorts of weather & temps, this is a great testament to ADS Ghost

Wheel cleaner.. i see they have Iron.. i usually use Sonax Full Effect for my iron removal. For wheel cleaner i just spray APC diluted down for regular washes. I need some maintenance wash since I'm out of Reset, have been using Semper from labocosmetica, but I don't have much left of it. Probably need a tire dressing.

Their wheel cleaner is very good, try the small bottle first, great sprayer and the tire cleaner, with the same sprayer works great!

Depending on your needs and comfort level, either Tire+ or Ghost will produce great results.

The carwash soap and Decon soap are just rock solid, I don't mean yo sound like a fanboy but ADS had earned my Fandom from pure performance and customer service, case in point was a leaky bottle of tire cleaner. I emailed Bradley about it and he offered to send me out a free bottle, I said no at first but when I placed another order I mentioned the offer and it was added in. I should also mention how my emails are answered quickly, sometimes on the weekend even!

My car is currently coated with ADS Quartz, non-Pro and not only was it easy to use/apply/remove but the results were stunning! The self cleaning ability is awesome and allows for stacks of coats of their Ceramic Spray, THAT stuff is easy and awesome!

Ask away, love ADS

Never tried their wheel cheaner. Ive been diluting primus 2.0 for a wheel/tire cleaner. Which you have primus, maybe try that out?

I have tire+ and ghost. Like both but only used ghost once right befoee winter so no real comments came be made yet on that.

Never tried iron. I had used adams iron for years, but once i tried labocosmetica sidero, i have found my go to for a iron remover.

ADS decon is nice, but labo primus 2.0 is better.

Shampoo + is nice the couple times i tried it. Nothing to hoot and haller over for the price. Id like to try semper.

Ceramic spray sealant is a must have. Amplify is great too.

Adapt is nice. I use adapt for doorjams, wheel wipedowns post wash, glass cleaning, interior wipedowns. Never use it as a waterless wash on black paint, as it streaks for me.

Beads is a nice product.

Phobic is great so far.

ADS Quartz is the coating i have been using for almost a year now.

These are what i have tried and are my opinons.
Fwiw to ya.

I'm almost out of primus. I have maybe 1-2 washes left in it. So you say that 2.0 is better than Decon. Maybe stick with primus then. It's a pretty versatile product. If you want to PM me your address, I'll send you what I have left of Semper. I am going to get a new shampoo soon. Maybe Koch Chemie or something.

I appreciate both of your responses guys. Now time to spend some money tomorrow!

Tire + is a dressing, ghost is a tire coating. Ghost is supposed to last longer.

Yes primus 2.0 is very versatile, really top notch.

Thanks for offer, might take up on that.

I'm gonna use Collinite 915 wax this year.. really all i need is APC, rim/tire cleaner, tire dressing, trim protection, and a ph neutral shampoo.


Unless I use the spray sealant first. Then put the 915 over it... if that's even an option.
