Artem I saw this was never answered. I'd pour in a few oz of Adams apc in with your soap if you want to do a strip wash before detailing.

I don't strip wash personally, just spend a good time on Decon with auto scrub mitt and clay, then my compounding and polishing after usually strip old waxes and sealants off no problem.

Phil,

I'm deciding between Paint Protection Films. I've heard awesome things about XPEL Ultimate, any experience with it? Would you recommend it over another brand?

Naz you should get Phil to do your new car prep with Sonax Polymer Net Shield prior to the XPEL film install

Would love to come and see the man himself in action (and I'm sure I'll be buying goodies too lol)

I'll stay tuned in the coming weeks for the new shipment, would you plan on moving to only selling the Adam's nozzle after the current uber shipment runs out (meaning this would be the last batch of uber nozzles?)

Phil -

Does the volume of wheel cleaner greatly differ from 1 brand to another. Used Colourtec after a long brutal winter and I must have used up 1/3 of the bottle...Not sure how cost effective it will be in the long run. I DO like it more the FE

I'll let Phil chime in but with the ferrous-fighting wheel cleaners like Full Effect, Colourtec, Adam's Deep Cleaner, etc, all are 16 oz. bottles (I think FE is 16.9 - half liter but no matter), and I usually get about 3-4 cars worth per bottle.

Might be better to refill from gallon refills or buy Colourtec in the buy 3 get 1 that Phil does. I only use wheel cleaners about 2-3 times a year at most anyway, then I seal the wheels and just use soap and water in between, so at most I got through about a bottle and a half per year.
