Hey y'all


What do you guys do to get all the nooks and crannies in your wheels? I find that if you don't clean them the dirt becomes permanent, particularly inside the wheels around the brakes. Of course it's almost impossible to reach

Like Brian said, check out Adams. They have products for wheels that make cleaning much easier.

Adam's and Chemical Guys are both good. But for for wax, nothing beats Collinite 845 for durability, then Adam's H2O Guard and Gloss for a monthly wax boost.

I know several aren't big on Armor All, but their wheel/tire cleaner like what came in my bucket gets my OEM wheels pretty clean.

I've been using Liquid Glass on my vehicles for as long as I can remember. Great product , but not cheap.

I just started using Chadwick's Triple Play on both my truck and my wife's car. It's a waterless car cleaning product that also shines and protects. I was skeptical at first, but this stuff is amazing. Not cheap. But wow does it do a good job. And you can use it to clean everything including the windows and interior. There are videos on YouTube and here's the link to their website. www.chadwickstripleplay.com

The trick with wax and sealants is to find one that will produce the results that you want. Some work better with dark colors, some work better with light colors. Some give you an ultra glossy shine while others will give you a glowing sheen.


Having said that, I did like using Meguires NXT Tech wax on my Diamond Graphite G35 when I had it. It gave the paint a deep rich glow in sunlight. It didn't last too long though. maybe 2 to 3 months. For the F150, I decided to try Collinite 845 because I wanted something that would last longer (didn't feel like waxing the truck every 3 months). I can't say that it gave the truck a finish that I really liked, but it was easy to put on while producing results and it does indeed last a long time. 6 months or more.

My last truck got Mothers Carnauba wax, and got clay barred with a Mothers clay bar and Mothers QD spray. Both were easy enough. I've heard excellent things about Adams though so I think I'll be going that route with the new one. Only gotten a chance to wash it once over 2 months... Every time I get time there's either something that comes up, or it's going to rain in a day or two.
