Adam's Wheel and Tire cleaner was the first chemical I used when I first started out that wasn't Chemical Guys. It was then when I realized how much I was getting ripped off. All these years later I still use it as my go to wheel and tire cleaner if I need that extra strength.
@@alex0lan I use 5:1 because it still works great and I use less product that way, but I've seen people who do 1:1. I just don't want to waste that much product if it isn't necessary.
I have used brake Buster for years in my business and I always had to go multiple times to get the tires clean and no Browning. I tried the Adams one time and now it's my go-to for sure for dirtier, tires and wheels. But for light jobs I'll use the p&s
Stijarnagloss Hjul is some amazing stuff. pH neutral but man it's powerful. It's on par with adams and I may go the extra mile and say slightly better. I had nasty browning on my tires that brake buster couldn't even touch. One try with hjul and those tires looked brand new. Plus it's relatively inexpensive
From everything i seen adams tske the cake. This seems to be the best overall. As a diy'er, ive been using nanoskins non acid for several years. 1:5 in a marolex foamer and its alsways been solid for me. 21 bucks for a gallon and lasts at least two years for me. This may be worth a go at some point though.
Looking forward to checking this out. This looks like it’s going to be a good once a season reset tire cleaner. I’ll still plan on using Brake Buster as a maintenance cleaner.
Legit. I had browned to absolute hell and back Bridgestones. Never cleaned. THREE rounds of brake buster. Still dirty and browned. Adam’s cleaned it in one pass.
Just so happened to buy this today, cant wait to use it. Turtle wax wheel and tire is my go to, works like magic. I did two passings to but I find tht it just waste products and have to go to the store to fast, so I do one pass
I won’t try superior’s stuff as it’s made with some gnarly chemicals like caustic soda where this one from Adam’s uses sodium metasilicate which is still gnarly but still much safer than the sodium hydroxide 👍🧼
Go and try tire and rubber cleaner on the tire only and this wheel & tire on the wheel only and that combo is killer!! It cleans the tire alot better yet
@@ccooke70 yeah possibly at 10:1-20:1 but it’s main chemical in general is very potent to Powdercoat I would just use a safer alternative like brake buster or a soap like Primus or even a normal PHN soap
Fire video. 1:1 is works phenomenal too! Still cleans way better than brake buster! Been preaching about Adams especially in a gallon they have it on sale at times for 36$. Now you have 2 gallons for the price of one. 1:1 doesn't strip any coatings either. A sealant yes but no sealant last on wheels.
my ONLY complaint about the Adam's W/T cleaner is that it takes about a half bottle per car. Having said that, I'm using it straight up undiluted... and it really does work well. Definitely worthwhile getting the 5 gallon refill bottle when they're on sale.
nice review... i used it with great results... you mentioned it, the product will knock the b'jesus out of your wheel protection...i learned that the hard way...
Yup, these super concentrated high pH cleaners absolutely eat protection. I don't use them if I want to keep the coating or sealant alive long. This product killed my Diamond Wheels in 3 applications basically. That's partly because Diamond Wheels was not very good though.
I have been using mostly P&S products because they work and its economical, but, you have to shop multiple sites to get what you want, unless you go directly through their site and pay a ridiculous shipping fee. Adams for better or worse has all the products neatly organized on their site and shipping is at most $5. Catch a sale and buy gallons (they have bogo deals where a gallon gets you a free 16oz bottle) and its usually around $4-$6 for a 16oz bottle of whatever, that to me is pretty affordable. Maybe I ditch brake buster for this.
What’s the pros of using a pricey wheel cleaner instead of a Super Clean to clean the wheels and tires? I want to try Adams wheel and tire cleaner but I usually just use super clean in a dedicated foam cannon for wheels it foams the product up nice and leaves the tires very clean after agitation even though the foam cannon dilutes the product a bit and from the super clean dilution chart on the website says to use it straight up without dilution for tires
You can at like a 10:1 dilution, but this is just a stronger chemical so if your stripping your tires and wheels every wash eventually something will fail prematurely
@hydewizard it's great cleans tires and wheels both really good it's by far my favorite because of it's versatile it's does both interior and exterior at the same dilution .. i don't have to a 10 to 1 for interior and a 4 to 1 for tires I can do both with one pump per 32 oz of super citrus apc
Will this be safe on painted surfaces over time ??? Like factory Matte black wheels ? Or Red Brembo brakes ? I don’t want my brakes to fade like I’ve seen in some cars
I try and stay away from these more gnarly chemicals but especially caustic soda which superior uses, Adam’s uses sodium metasilicate which is still gnarly but much better than the soda stuff 👍
A lot of these high alkali cleaners are pretty effective. In the UK, Adams isn't especially good value. Shame. So TW hyper foam it is. Cheers for that.
I just bought some undressed because I was having a hard time getting my old dressing off with just break buster might give this a shot too but do you think undressed and the Adam could be used straight on black stain wheels?
@@JamieTheCleaner could I dilute my undressed? Really looking for a option for deal with browning since been multiple passes of BB doesn’t remove the browning just don’t want to ruin my clear coat on my hostile sprockets
@@sageofsixplates3127use a microfiber towel and mineral spirits. You don’t have to worry about any chemicals getting on your wheels and the mineral spirits will get all that stuff off your tires. Just put mineral spirits on the folded towel and rub it on the tire, no rinsing needed afterwards.
Brake Buster is water compared to H20😂 Adams Wheel & Tire Nanoskin Non Acid Kock Chemie Awh Turtle Wax Hyper Foam ADS Tire Shine Supply Wise Guy Those are the top 6 guaranteed!!!!
It's like Brake Buster if Brake Buster was actually a Brake Buster 😂. It's at least twice as powerful as BB in my estimation. It eats spray sealants alive though, few applications and you will seriously degrade anything beyond a true ceramic coating and maybe even some of those. Same experience as you. For that reason, I just stick to MWC or iron remover types for wheels. It's my standby on tires or really dirty surfaces though.
Only p&s products I recommend is Xpress, and the three step carpet system. Break buster is garbage and think the only reason it’s famous is bc of matt from OG
IDK, I believed the hype and purchased a gallon, and I gotta say, I’m not impressed. For starters I don’t get anywhere close to that foaming, what little suds I do get go completely flat before I come around the tire again. It does clean, so I’ll give it that, but I can’t tell the difference between this and just using Dawn dish soap. So I’ll be giving away my gallon, I already have enough cleaning chemicals that I never use.
This or nanoskin nonacid wheel and tire cleaner the best. Just use your drying aid for protection. If your wheels are ceramic coated you only need ph neutral soap.BB just water its trash. Can't believe this p and s fan boy would show that. 😂
love adams wheel and tire, i was diluting it for maintenance but decided to keep it straight and just use apc for maintenance, just to keep from buying more than i have to.
FYI, I searched for Adams Products at my local Walmart. No Adams products are available at my store. You can order online a few products from Adams, but the Wheel & Tire Cleaners is NOT available?

What's the best "turtle safe" wheel/tire cleaner y'all recommend?
Brake Buster as it doesn’t contain caustic soda or sodium metasilicate being a much safer product for you and the turts 🧼👍
Yeah the P&S Brake Buster is like water. lol
@@khyoon14 gets the job done on maintenance clients and you don’t nuke your wheel coating, dressing and protection ✅
I’m glad you’ve returned to your roots, tire cleaning videos.
I hope that one guy doesn’t get mad…😅
I remember when Adams wheel and tire first released, I was fighting off brake buster fan boys for weeks. Adams is the real deal.
BRO you’ve never tried this stuff before 😱 It’s a beast! This and ADS tire cleaner both crazy good.
I read the sds and said nah ima save the turtles 🐢 but saw it at wal mart now so might as well check it out 🧼
One of my favorite Adam’s products!
Mcguiars ultimate wheel and tire is great for severely neglected wheels and tires. Melts everything off the tire wheel and barrel.
Yes bc it has iron remover in it. Don’t dilute brake busters
Adam's Wheel and Tire cleaner was the first chemical I used when I first started out that wasn't Chemical Guys. It was then when I realized how much I was getting ripped off.
All these years later I still use it as my go to wheel and tire cleaner if I need that extra strength.
Nuke is right! Been using it for years and it’s amazing. Thank you, Jamie. 💪🏼💪🏼
It's expensive in the pint bottles. Wait for a 30% off sale at Adams and score a gallon! Then dilute it. Foams great in an IK.
still 4 dollars cheaper than a pint of brake buster atm
What’s your go to dilution ratio for Adams while using IK?
@@hydewizard
Eh...I go 1:1. I haven't tried 2:1 yet. Need to try that. Might be too diluted.
This, ADS and Wise guy are top for me.
This is currently my go-to wheel and tire cleaning product. I diluted 4-1 in a 1 gallon foamer.
Just bought it my first time today gonna love these guys
That's my go to. I use in an IK foamer at 5:1 and feel like I could dilute it even more. Works amazing.
Actually you can do 1:1
@@alex0lan I use 5:1 because it still works great and I use less product that way, but I've seen people who do 1:1. I just don't want to waste that much product if it isn't necessary.

Love this stuff. I dilute it 1:5 in my iK foam pro and it still cleans better than brake Buster undiluted.
awesome video
Brake buster is water compared to Adam's wheels and tire cleaner 😂
True. Strong as hell
Legit. I had browned to absolute hell and back Bridgestones. Never cleaned. THREE rounds of brake buster. Still dirty and browned. Adam’s cleaned it in one pass.
Because Adams is supposed to be used undiluted maybe we don't need to dilute break buster
BB its pure garbage
Damn bro , RUclips will have ppl running towards BB smh

I thought I was the only one peaking down the detailing aisle at Walmart or Meijer every time I’m there😂 Glad to see I’m not! Great video bro!
yes sir 😅😅😅😅 5:41 I love it
First? 😲 Put it in an IK foamer diluted it's awesome, economical via gallon.
Can you share your dilution ratio when using Adams in IK?
What's the follow up step to protect, after using this product? Love to hear what you're using.
This product has been my go to tire cleaner for years. Brake buster diluted 1:1 for wheels.
Dang that one hits like Mike Tyson! Another great video!
Hits hard!
I haven’t tried it yet, now it’s at Walmart I’ll get it. I’m sure they’ll beat Suds Lab
Great deal !
Meguiar’s Non-Acid Wheel and Tire Cleaner… on the Ik Foam Pro 12 Jamie… TRUST ME!!!! DO IT
I started a detaling business in March. I use all McGuire products. I’ve been think h about trying Adam’s to compare but McGuire does me good.
Now it’s time for Alkali Wheel to show that Adams who’s boss
Send it Ova
KC has so many products. I assume it works better on brake dust or something than GS? You would assume straight GS is pretty potent.
Actual cleaning starts at 2:50.
Can you try out Dark Fury wheel and bug cleaner next ?
It's worse then Adams it's a ok like p&s😊
I won’t try superior’s stuff as it’s made with some gnarly chemicals like caustic soda where this one from Adam’s uses sodium metasilicate which is still gnarly but still much safer than the sodium hydroxide 👍🧼
Try the Griots wheel tire cleaner!!!!!
🤔
Agreed Jaime. Thought it was just ok.
Go and try tire and rubber cleaner on the tire only and this wheel & tire on the wheel only and that combo is killer!! It cleans the tire alot better yet
Wait Brake Buster is water? Huh? Must be the user either watering it down. I been using it years. Never I had an issue with the product.
I use adams at a 4:1 in my IK sprayer and it doesn’t strip the PERL off my tires 👍🏽
Nice 👍 🧼
Jamie, is this something you would feel comfortable using on black powder coated wheels? Toyota TRD Pro wheels specifically.
@@ccooke70 no definitely will wreck powder coated rims
@@JamieTheCleanerthanks. It lists powder coated as safe on their Amazon ad but I was worried with that PH level.
@@ccooke70 yeah possibly at 10:1-20:1 but it’s main chemical in general is very potent to Powdercoat I would just use a safer alternative like brake buster or a soap like Primus or even a normal PHN soap
It's really good on mats and fender wells even on bed liners

The Adams is the best I’ve tried. P&S BB cannot compare.

Yup, these super concentrated high pH cleaners absolutely eat protection. I don't use them if I want to keep the coating or sealant alive long. This product killed my Diamond Wheels in 3 applications basically. That's partly because Diamond Wheels was not very good though.
Dilute it at 1:5 or 1:8 in a foaming pump sprayer and it'll still clean great in a single pass and be gentler on whatever coating you're using.

Is this stuff gonna be pretty harsh and possibly damage factory gloss black painted wheels? Or should be fine just like brake buster if diluted
Same question here
Dilute it 1:5. Doesn't affect the cleaning power and makes it more gentle on wheel finishes.
@@DhDetails87 awesome thanks!
It’s great when you can get it on sale.
Damn I bought one yesterday and just returned it today cause I had some random tire cleaner laying around
I use Adams wheel & tire for only the tires then for the rim I use wheel Diablo!
Why?
I use this for wheels, and use Tire and Rubber cleaner for tires and it cleans even better than wheel & tire cleaner.

Man , first time trying Adams wheel and tire cleaner. I’m a little concerned. It either the GOAT or tied for the GOAT!
I used it like it, prefer Brake Buster
Great video!! I am going to get some!
Question from a newbie. Why shouldn't I use this undiluted every time I wash my car (weekly to biweekly)?
You can at like a 10:1 dilution, but this is just a stronger chemical so if your stripping your tires and wheels every wash eventually something will fail prematurely
@@JamieTheCleaner Thanks for answering.
It’s the 💣
Was literally asking myself “why cant we dilute wheel cleaners?” And here we have it
I feel like a lot of these high pH cleaners do a good job.
Not bad at all
The sprayer on my bottle was trash but it’s a crazy strong product
It’s a great product.
how does this compare to the clean buster mix?
Adams is good super citris apc from 3d is my favorite apc tho
How’s the performance of 3d super citrus APC on wheels?
@hydewizard it's great cleans tires and wheels both really good it's by far my favorite because of it's versatile it's does both interior and exterior at the same dilution .. i don't have to a 10 to 1 for interior and a 4 to 1 for tires I can do both with one pump per 32 oz of super citrus apc
Will this be safe on painted surfaces over time ??? Like factory Matte black wheels ? Or Red Brembo brakes ? I don’t want my brakes to fade like I’ve seen in some cars
At full strength this could definitely cause fading after some time at 4:1 you should be fine 👍
1 gallon on sale Amazon right now only 34.99
Throw it in a foam cannon straight for maintenance. 1:1 for ceramic coated rims I would think.
What is your favorite tire and wheel cleaner?
Need an IK foamer test at 1:5 or 1:10
Its ny heavy hitter for a fraction of a cost. I. Addition to their 30% off sale every once in a while.
Try Superior Products Dark Fury next
I try and stay away from these more gnarly chemicals but especially caustic soda which superior uses, Adam’s uses sodium metasilicate which is still gnarly but much better than the soda stuff 👍
@@JamieTheCleaner good to know. Maybe time to switch then!
