ASD or SFD

[car fanatic]

I am getting ready to place an order with ADS and want to know which on of these products to you guys think i sould get ASD or SFD, and it will be use for tires and plastic trim.

Here is my order so far:
Last Touch
Hyper Dressing
APC
Super Degreaser
Glass Cleaner
Seconday Bottle for all

These are all sample size besides APC, i want to see if i like them before i buy a gallon. Also is Super Degreaser good for cleaning tires and rims.

Re: ASD or SFD

APC is fine for tires and rims and wheelwells, though I tend to use the Multi Piece/Aluminum Wheel Cleaner for my wheels.

APC+ has a degreaser in it, if that interested you.

Dont forget #135 if you like to use Ultimate Quick Detailer a lot.

I like the All Season Dressing for exterior trim.... probably wouldnt need the Hyper Dressing, unless that was for your interior, or just to try it.

Not sure what else you have... of course soap, Grit Guards, towels.... Just buy the whole store and get it over with....

Re: ASD or SFD

It's not a recommended product for this, but you can use the APC for tires. Before using any kind of wheel cleaner on your wheels you need to know what your wheel is made out of or coated with so you don't cause any harm to the finish.

It wouldn't be a good idea for any of us to make a blanket recommendation for your wheels without knowing what they're made out of or coated with.

What kind of wheels do you have?

Polished aluminum and anodized aluminum stain very easily.

Re: ASD or SFD

The Super Degreser would likely be overkill, and might even have warnings on it about what kind of surfaces it can be used on.

I tend to stick with the mildest products for my rims (remember the rims, pads, rotors, wires, etc are all going to get sprayed), since I have no idea what everything is made of. If washing regularly, the mild things are more than enough.

Re: ASD or SFD

Thanks to both of you but have one more question. Last touch i know can be use full strenth or diluted 1:1 for claying. what dialution do you recomend for just a regular spary detailer.

Re: ASD or SFD

Good point they are alloy wheels. I was going to buy wheel brightner but i thought i read somewhere on here that its not good to use everytime you wash the car unless your wheels are very dirty.

Re: ASD or SFD

I would go with the all season dressing for the exterior also. Great product and it last along time.

I use the Last touch regular strength for quik detailing. I have heard a lot of people use it at the dilution rate of 1:1 for a qd or to clay. It is all up to you. Whatever gives you the look you are striving for.
