Adams question

Are there any of the Adams line that are particularly BAD for the wax?

IE: I had some tar? spots that the normal car wash soap wouldnt remove, so I used a bit of APC on a microfiber and gentle wiped it off.

Or overspray of glass cleaner, etc.?

Just want to make sure I didnt just take of some wax too.

Love the products!

Jason

Jason,

From what I undertsand the window cleaner, in and out spray, vrt etc will not harm the wax. The APC " may" as it is a cleaner. I clayed my road tar off so I had to re-wax and polish anyway.

I am sure either Dylan or Junkman will be by to answer.

Also if you are a avid Adam's product user you can go to Adam's Forums and they have a lot of great information on that site as well as freindly people always willing to help. Sometimes they do have specials for members. Just a thought.

APC and Green Wheel Cleaner are the 2 products to be primarily concerned with them removing wax. Glass cleaner to a degree might degrade it a little... but thats about it.

When in doubt just put a quick coat of your preferred product on the area... better safe than sorry.
