0 ForceofWill Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Looks good! Did you DWC the paint too before clay? If not, next time you strip it down to clay, I'd DWC the paint before clay. You'd be amazed at the stuff it removes. My neighbor has a modded 1. I keep giving him my extra Adam's stuff and sold him my PC with some green/orange/white/MSS. I'm slowly pushing him to detail correctly. Of course yesterday I saw him wash the car with a small blue bucket and a shop rag. I almost had a heart attack.

0 Wgeffon Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 yesterday I saw him wash the car with a small blue bucket and a shop rag. I almost had a heart attack. Funny... I didnt know you could use DWC on the paint to strip it down and clean it prior to using a clay bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rimz808 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 What tools did you use to clean your wheels and how dirty was it prior to cleaning it? I dont have the dwc but I regularly maintain my wheels every time I was my car. Will be buying some Adam products next week and it's either the dwc or green wheel cleaner. I already have the woollies and thinking about the lug nut brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wgeffon Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 My car is new so the wheels are very clean however, its a BMW and the brake dust is hard to stay ahead of. The DWC is amazing stuff though. I was using it on an 09 BMW and it got the wheels looking as good as what you see here. I just ordered some woollies to reach back into the barrels. Up to now , all I have been using is the lug nut brush and the boars hair brush. I'd be surprised if you tried DWC and didn't really like it.

Been using eagle wheel cleaners, but I could never get the brake dust fully cleaned off. So when I heard about Adams, I've been debating whether or not to get GWC or DWC.

You can see it at work. http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/wash-dry-clay-bar/22262.htm Does the Deep Wheel Cleaner only clean metal particles? Or does work with bug guts too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 It's designed to attack metal particles. For bug guts, I would use WW, or if they are really bad, some APC diluted half with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 IrishCurse Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Tom, When you use DWC for decontaminating the paint, What is the ratio? I think I've read somewhere that its 1:1 with water for decon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I sprayed it full strength on an already-wet car after washing (did not dry) so that kinda diluted it without messing with the bottle contents. Worked two panels at a time so the product wouldn't dry, let it change color, then hosed off thoroughly, re-foamed with straight shampoo/water left in my foam gun, rinsed again, then moved on to clay. Did the whole G8 and only used 1/3 of the bottle. ForceofWill and IrishCurse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ForceofWill Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Like Gerry said its easiest to wash car then spray DWC on while still wet after a rinse. If doing it on a dry car I would dilute it half with water to save product but you don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
