who hand washes their car?

Mine's actually blue with the black roof. It's not so bad actually. However after my last wash, the next day a squadron of bees did a bombing run. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I bother.

Car looks good. I been meaning to get a brush to put on tire dressing. My sponge is about to be done for. Paint brush FTW

You talking about the P&S Iron Buster Wheel and Paint decon? That's not cost effective and you dont need to use Iron Remover on every wash

After switching to Adams, its been better for me. Especially on my Fiancé's RX350 that she drives daily. P&S Brake Buster isnt as effective to get the brake dust off compared to Adams

Thank you. No, it's called "Brake Buster Total Wheel Cleaner." I believe Iron Buster is what they told me would be the next step up.

This is what I use. Noticed it’s for “black” rims. It’s for all coated rims that aren’t old school Cragars and the like. For uncoated use “aluminum” version.

Just spray this on the wheels and tires before you start washing and use a new rag when you get to the rims. On these cars, I’d use one MF towel to wash the hood and finish the front, down the side and half the top, back hatch and rear, other side and half top, 2nd pass on areas from front into the doors because they tend to be crappier, rims. 6 microfiber towels used and disposed.

it’s possible this replaced the hot rims.

Gotcha. Looks like P&S only has 2 wheel cleaners on their website, and that is Brake Buster and Iron Buster.

I used to like it and does great work for maintenance washes

You throw away your Microfiber towels after 1 use? Not sure if you knew this. You can throw them in a washing machine and use detergent with no fragrence or bleach? Just separate them from the towels you use for the paint and for the wheels

You must have deep pockets to be able use them once and be done

I washed them for many years. It’s a price point thing. I can get 100 for $.24 each. That’s $1.50. It’s worth $1.50 in time and utilities to toss them and know they are always clean. I would consider it wasteful if I used more than 25 or so a year, or about $8 a year. I only hand wash 2-4 times a year.
