      @armourdetailsupply If you could make a 32oz bottle for £20 in the UK then that would be able to compete with Carpro Wheelx 1000ml for £20 from Slims detailing. Many other brands good here are around £20 for a 1000ml . Unfortunately it's too expensive per unit price/ bottle size in a 16oz.

    Great comparison from some of the biggest heavy hitters. Funny to think CarPro never had a dedicated wheel cleaner until now. Looks like a solid choice as you'd expect from CarPro. Like you, I've been very impressed with ADS Wheel Cleaner and the fact it's pH balanced should make it safe for all wheel types. I have a gallon the original version of ADS which does have more of the typical iron remover smell so nice to see that their revision has improved that and Bradley and DJ made an already great product even better. Thanks again for the effort in bringing us another quality video demonstrating some of the new to market products. Your new rims on the X5 look killer!

    Oh man! I think you are fast becoming one of my go to channels ATM. Thank you so much for this test, I reached out to you when you were a Sema about Wheelx had just been launched and to compare Gyeon vs Carpro. You can see straight away that Carpro and ADS seem to get to work the fastest. Carpro turned red within 6 seconds and ADS was about the same. ADS looks like it has some kind of APC/ surfactant that the foam hid the iron remover underneath- I like that its low odour and clings well.
    Carpro has some foaming cling too but goes into a deeper rich red instantly- both look like they're going to work. Gyeon seems to be a bit weaker, didn't flash red hardly at all- seems a bit disappointing to what I expected. Koch Kemie is ok. I'm not much of a Koch fan, Classic German products, its expensive and there are better products available- typical German engineering.
    The Gyeon is supposed to smell like Bananas? Which one is more lubricating? as I would use it with a Mitt and I feel reducing the marring is an important aspect to me. I'm in the market for a new wheel cleaner, I've use Adams- too aggressive, but watered down is ok. P&S brake buster is nice at 1:5 for light weekly duties.
    The old version of Gyeon iron wheel is my current go to as its lubricious, Flashes red ok and and leaves a nicer clean surface, but its running out hence the interest. I like that Carpro do a Litre bottle as I'll hurl it on. I imagine ADS only do 16oz and a gallon without a Litre sized bottle.

    • @FineDetailingAZ
      @FineDetailingAZ  Місяць тому

      Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the content!
      ADS was my preferred option. It topped carpro due to the smell. Gyeon I'm not sure smells like bananas, the iron redefined does smell like bananas but not the wheel cleaner. Once it's atomized the gyeon doesn't really smell though. Smelling straight is not recommended haha.
      I was surprised I didn't get purple from KCX. I didn't actually use the mitt after the test I just sprayed it with Labo primus 2.0 since I washed the car with that. I will have to test the lubricity but I don't think any of these are every wash products. I use brake buster straight in the foam cannon. The cannon dilutes it so much it's not that strong plus it's super cheap ( I have a 5 gallon).
      Yes, ADS does a 16oz and gallon but I'll buy the gallon to save $$.

    • @79blustone
      @79blustone Місяць тому +1

      @FineDetailingAZ I'd love to buy ADS wheel cleaner buy its same price as Wheelx, BUT! It's less then half the amount! Making ADS not a cost effective product for me and everyone in the UK unless you really really want it! £19 for ADS in a 460ml something bottle OR 1000ml for £20 for Wheelx- I think I could put up with the smell for more than double the amount for a very similar price 🤔

    • @FineDetailingAZ
      @FineDetailingAZ  Місяць тому

      @ wheelx is that price in the liter?? What about ADS in gallon form? Is it cheaper then?

    • @79blustone
      @79blustone Місяць тому +1

      @FineDetailingAZ It's £70 for the gallon. So, breaking that price into £ per Litre or 1000ml is about £18.49. (£70÷ 3.785412Litres(1 US Gallon)= £18.49204/ £ per Litre) which does work out to be around the right price point= but you really have to like it to buy a US gallon. You could always bite the bullet and pay over the odds for the 16oz to try first. But it's like 50/50 in decision making when Wheelx is £20 for the Litre bottle. Lifes hard 😆. If you feel like it's worth it over Wheelx then I'll buy some haha

    • @FineDetailingAZ
      @FineDetailingAZ  Місяць тому +1

    Great comparison on some of the more popular iron removing wheel cleaners. The all did pretty good overall for touchless application. The Magic Wheel Cleaner looked like it did the best overall, but your reaction to the scent was comical. You could definitely immediately tell it must have really smelled bad by your reaction. I absolutely hate those wheel cleaners or any of the products that have that rotten egg smell. I do NOT like using those at all. The Armour Detail Supply one looked like it had the strongest reaction (turning purple). It is interesting that Armour got their formula right and it doesn't have too much of a smell, or it's just masked the best. You would think that if Armour got it right, the other big boys could certainly get it right. ?? They need to get with Armour and take inspiration from them! I wonder if Armour is using the same technology as Stoner (who have that new iron wheel remover without the scent)? I wonder if Stoner makes it for Armour which is why Armour doesn't have the smell? Who knows. But I steer towards products without the rotten egg smell. No one on the planet likes that smell. I give Stoner credit, at least they came up with a formula without the rotten egg smell. Even if it uses a different chemical than the rest of them, and even if it works a little less effectively, that's fine with me to avoid that rotten egg smell that permeates everything within a mile of it! Clothing, fabrics, skin, whatever. It's one of the most horrible smells not only in detailing, but EVER! Awful. Awful. Awful. Stoner should get the detailing product of the year award for coming up with an alternate product that may work a little differently, but at least gets you to the same end result! I wonder how the CRYSTAL WASH by P&S would work? It's marketed as a contaminant remover similar to an iron remover. Happy detailing ALL!

    I bought this the day it released and have used it twice. In all fairness I used it on wheels with no pre rinse the first time, and the second time was about an hour later after I drove in the rain. Both times it left dirt behind. Much less the second. And both times better than any other touchless approach I’ve ever seen. I can get by if it’s not terribly dirty and I want a quick wash. Otherwise it still needs a scrubbing. I will also add I have BMW M wheels that dust HEAVILY and one of the most complex wheel design with hard to reach spots that collect dirt.
    Also, it left like a traffic film behind. Probably why you got black when you rubbed.

    Great and fair review. 👍 Yeah .. when washing anything, agitation is the only way to completely clean... especially wheels or machinery. it's a no brainer as well because the amount of chemical saved by applying much less then agitating softly and quickly will do a better job than any touchless. sometimes adding an extra step will be quicker in the long run over going back to wipe wheels or surfaces again pointlessly because you didn't earlier in the process.

    I'd never do a touchless "clean"-ing because it's never going to even come close to what real cleaning by hand is going to do. But I am wondering if WheelX is better to use than P&S Brake Buster when used with a hand-pumped foam sprayer and washed by hand.

    Love car pro so looking forward to trying wheel X, I like that it foams up right out of the trigger opposed to regular Iron X which doesn’t. I agree that ADS makes a killer wheel cleaner, Ethos Wheel Cleaner+ is another good iron removing wheel cleaner that clings really well, I used ethos wheel cleaner + a lot this summer because I ordered a gallon of their regular wheel & tire cleaner and they accidentally sent me the wheel cleaner + so I just kept it cause I already knew I liked it from trying a 16 oz….Labo Sidero & Maniac Line Iron Remover are both really good, as far as regular Alkaline wheel cleaners I’ve been using dark fury a lot lately I bought a gallon, it cleans both wheels & tires really well I recommend putting it in a foamer or atleast a regular pump sprayer, maniac line wheel & Tyre is 1 of my favorites to put in a foamer I know you’ve tried that already, Adams wheel & tire, ethos total wheel & tire cleaner, alchemist brimstone wheel & tire cleaner & brake buster are all good options

    Brake dust and road dust bond similarly but what was there before? Were the rims treated with ceramic coating? Was it a spay wax? I see people face these cleaning products with just a squirt and rinse expectation. Stripping off the old coating? If it leaves dirt behind then the old sealants are still there? A cool video would be how these products work with different coatings. Will it matter? Black wheels on my Truck as well as the Mustang Take the longest to clean as they have so many places to agitate around. Will a different pressure washer tip matter? I use the turbo nozzle with a 1800 psi pressure washer. We all would love to find the perfect combo for the touch-less cleaner (but better agitation means) Arthritis demands less touch as you get older.

      The wheels were not coated with anything. They were covered in brake dust and dirt. I don't pressure above 1000psi on cars. Turbo nozzles can damage paint. Coated wheels are always easier to clean but there are so many different variables. These are a good first step to brake down most of the brake dust and grime then going in for a contact wash is preferred.

    Man I love CarPro they couldn’t have come out with a product that could fire me up more than this. The unfortunate thing is that making claims like being “Touchless” allows room for people to be disappointed no matter how good the product is. Especially because no one is or was expecting it to be Touchless in the first place. If they left that part out or even said on light to moderately dirty wheels this can be used in a Touchless manner then that’s different but it could take someone from being super impressed without that claim to having some negative thoughts solely based on unrealistic claims that CarPro definitely knows is not possible.
