    My wheels are carbon force ceramic coated and I clean them with Diablo and use extreme shine on tires. No lie the shine stays up to 3 weeks and if there’s no rain it can last more than that!

    I've used most of your wheel cleaning products but the best I have used is your All Clean Citrus Based Super Cleaner. Added bonus is that if you buy a gallon and dilute, it will last years. I do clean my wheels weekly and that makes cleaning them a lot easier.

    Thanks for your video. I didn't know that brake dust could mess up a rim. I don't have custom rims just stock steel rims. So I guess the brake dust can eat off the paint on stock painted rim. Live and learn. Thanks again.

    Very nice and thorough cleaning. I am new at this, so I have few dilemmas:
    1. If I am going to rub rims, could i just use car shampoo?
    2. Some people report that rim cleaners are too aggressive for breaks and discs. Corrosion, or some other unwanted effect, appears. What is the safest for breaks and discs? I assume ph-neutral car shampoo? Or maybe even regular soap?

      Keeps the wheel wet / lubricated , you need enough liquid around for cleaners to lift the dirt in to, but it's a good idea to keep the brush clean too, as it'd be easy to take off a bit of grit that was stuck and rub it around causing scratches

  • @georgetullis7216

    I’m tripping that consumers buy into this hype. Dang man. High pressure water, dawn dish soap or simple green. Use the right brush or wash cloth. Rinse and dry. Yes. I spend three or so minutes on each tire and wheel. I keep three cars looking in pretty showroom presentable most of the time.
    We have a new high end automatic car wash close by that cleans tires and wheels perfectly and dresses tires in process. No it’s not like me spending three hours washing my car but there’s not that much difference.
    No it’s not ruining the paint. A proper Ceramic coating process once a year, use the high end automatic and dress my own tires. A few times a week. I run my company car through the twice a week. Five years later my cars with 120,000 miles still look great. I never towel dry cars. Air guns only.

    I’ve got moderately aggressive all terrain tires on my Jeep. They’ve got side lugs, raised letters and all sorts of texture to them. Applicators don’t get into all the cracks and crevices so I just take the sloppy route and spray tire shine on the surface then work it in the best I can.
    Is there a better method I’m missing?
    And, I’m fully aware the other Jeep owners are gonna come at me for using tire shine.
