Description

Best in class This product is designed to make cleaning stubborn tires and caked up wheel contamination a breeze with one chemical. The formulation specifically targets neglected sidewalls and wheel surfaces to breakdown buildup. Adam’s Wheel & Tire Cleaner contains a blend of alkaline-concentrated solvents and surfactants to create a high sudsing formula and removes silicones, greases, wax build-up, polymers, and any previously applied dressings to leave your tires and wheels looking new. Adam’s Wheel & Tire Cleaner effectively loosens contaminants on and around your wheels and tires, while leaving the surface completely bare and ready for a dressing. This non-acid, foaming formulation allows users to clean tire surfaces of old, caked-on tire dressings while being able to use the same product on their wheel surfaces to clean brake dust with ease. Adam’s Wheel & Tire Cleaner combines an essential part of the first step in basic wash practices when cleaning your wheels and tires first before the remainder of the vehicle comes in contact with water. Spray the tire sidewall and wheel surfaces with Adam’s All in One Wheel & Tire Cleaner. Scrub the tire sidewall with Adam’s Tire Brush and Wheel Surfaces with Adam’s Wheel Brush and Barrel Brush. Do not allow product to dry onto any surface of the wheel. Clean the tire a second or third time until you see the cleaner foam up white in color, then rinse again very thoroughly. This indicates that the majority of dirt and discoloration have been removed from the rubber. Wheels are one of the main focal points of many vehicles, and in the case of aftermarket wheels, they can be an expensive investment. That investment needs to maintaKeep scrolling to read Adam's guide to cleaning your wheels and tires, using safe and effective products and practices. Before selecting any wheel cleaner, you need to know which product works best for your wheel finish. Our Wheel & Tire Cleaner & Adam's Wheel Cleaner are safe for factory clear coat, chrome, gloss black, matte, satin wheel finishes but should not be used on raw polished aluminum or anodized wheels. If you are unsure, you can't go wrong with Adam's Eco Wheel Cleaner, which are safe for all wheels types. Any one of our tire cleaners are safe for use on all types. Having the right cleaning tools to go along with the chemicals is crucial to achieving excellent results. It is important to use tools and accessories that have been constructed with quality and durability.

The last step of the entire washing process ends with detailing your tires. Keeping the sidewalls clean, looking sharp and protected from exposure to UV rays, road grime, and contaminants is a crucial step to the detailing process.

  • Impressive!
Size: 16 fl. oz
I've been looking for a good wheel cleaner for a long time. My front wheels had become very grungy due to brake dust and nothing I tried from the local auto parts store would even touch it. I ended up googling for the best wheel cleaner and this was one that was recommended. I've attached a before/after picture. I was very impressed. The instructions say to only do one wheel at a time to prevent it from drying out. All and all I probably did not spend much more than one minute on each wheel. I used the "Mothers" wheel brush that amazon sells: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GJ3DZS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Notice it did not do much for the center cap. This is plastic. The wheel looks great and I was very surprised to see it clean up the white lettering. I had assumed the lettering was essentially gone. ... show more

  • Great cleaner, just short of perfect
Size: 16 fl. oz
I’ve used quite a few wheel and tire cleaners over the years, and this one from Adam’s has become one of my favorites. It foams up nicely and really helps lift off brake dust and road grime without having to scrub too hard. I usually spray it on, let it sit for 30 seconds or so, then go over the wheels and tires with brushes before rinsing. It leaves the wheels clean and the tires looking fresh again. I’ve noticed it does a great job at stripping off old tire dressing too, so you get that true, clean rubber look before applying a new coat. The smell is surprisingly decent for a cleaner like this — kind of citrusy, not overly chemical. One 16-oz bottle lasts me around 8 to 10 full cleanings on my midsize SUV, so it’s not bad in terms of value. The only thing I’d say is to avoid letting it dry on the surface, especially if the wheels are hot. If you rinse it off properly, you’ll have no issues. ... show more

  • (Almost) Perfect
Size: 16 fl. oz
I recently acquired a high-mileage Xterra that was in desperate need of cosmetic maintenance. After extensive paint correction and bumper plastic restoration, it came time for the wheels.. they were so filthy I was pretty much resolved to just buy new ones. They were covered in -very- caked on brake dust. 300k miles worth. This truck has never seen a bucket of water, only drive-thru car washes. I tried several brands.. Turtle Wax, bleche-white, simple green, etc. I’m sure I’m forgetting a couple.. none of them would even touch the buildup in the crevices. I scrubbed long and hard with several other chemicals and the best I could get was a moderately dirty look. Then, I tried Adam’s. Sprayed the wheels and tires with the garden hose and applied liberally. Adam’s worked fairly quickly but did take two applications. I ended up having to use a drill with a nylon bristle brush attachment to really agitate the detergent in the corners and crevices, but they finally came clean after two passes. I’d give it 4.5/5 if I could. The only reason I’m not giving 5/5 is for $12 I was hoping to get more than one use out of the bottle. I’ve used half on just one side of the truck, but it really does work, and has potentially saved (postponed) me from buying new wheels. Really good stuff. ... show more

  • Works as Designed
Size: 16 fl. oz
This stuff WORKS! I haven't cleaned tires since we used to use comet/ajax on them.... I had no idea which product was best suited to clean that nasty reddish-brown muck that oozes from tires these days. I can tell that ajax won't do it.... So, which product to try? I narrowed it down to Adam's Polishes and Chemical Guys. Now, I like Checmical Guys' products, but when it's time to clean the tires, Adam's is what I'm reaching for. I did a side-by-side comparison between "Chemical Guys Tire and Wheel Cleaner" and "Adam's Polishes Tire and Wheel Cleaner". Adam's took no prisoners and is now my go-to choice. Wet the tire, spray the cleaner, brush lightly to just cover the tire, and wait about a minute. Keep your hose nozzle on "mist" so you can prevent everything from drying. Just barely hit it with water, just enough to keep it from drying. At one minute you'll see a BIG difference. The CG soap is still white, Adam's has turned that reddish brown and is lifting the dirt from the tire. Hit it hard with the brush, working from the rim/tire joint outward, and you'll see the CG foam is hardly dirty, whereas the Adam's foam is almost black. spray-tire-scrub-tire-rinse-wheel-repeat-repeat, spray-rim-scrub-rim-rinse, and you're done. I suspect followup washes may require only one cleaning. ... show more

  • Very strong but not economical
Size: 16 fl. oz
I’m always on the hunt for a good wheel cleaner. I have tried dozens and still have several different types in my arsenal so I have a good selection to compare this too. I’ve seen a lot of people say that Adams wheel cleaner is stronger than most so I decided to give it a try. I did feel like it had good cleaning power but still left some caked on brake dust on my truck rims that has been there for months now maybe so I did put it to the test. Even though it did fairly well in used up 3/4 of this bottle on 4 wheels at full strength so I didn’t like that I spent 1/2 of what I would for the gallon product I normally buy, which I can dilute to make it even more economical. I do want to try it diluted next. It isn’t recommend but I like to try products a different strengths to see how they hold up. Overall I like it but it would be too expensive for me to use weekly at full strength. For now I’ll leave it for only super dirty wheels. ... show more
