Any recommendations for cleaning the raised white lettering on tires?

Turn the tires around. Sorry couldn't help myself.

 

Straight apc no dilution and a stiff nylon brush.

Wet SOS pad.

The foaming stain remover used in laundry works too. I did this when I was young. Just don't let that dry on your tires.
There are products specifically for this but they aren't nessesary.

 

APC?

 

Funny! This is the first time i have ever had white letters out, Not a fan, but i had to try.

 

All purpose cleaner.

 

I tried the Chemical Guys foam spray wash "Honeydew scented" with the pressure washer on my truck today. I like it. It didn't really speed up washing but a different way of washing your truck.

 

Out of a foam cannon? Or in the soap despinser of your pressure washer?

 

Duragloss #105 and Polish bonding agent #601. The Duragloss car wash soap is good from what I have read.

 

Foam cannon. I used a 1700psi electric pressure washer. It works but theres a bit of adjusting the gun to get it to foam over like you want. I think it will work better with a higher psi, gas powered pressure washer.

I only used it once so far, and I used the 2 bucket method along with it. Bug guts and droppings came off easy, truck is very clean. I think it's a neat product.

 

It's not meant to speed up the wash. It's meant to reduce the amount of swirls that can be introduced.

 

Precisely.

 

I just got a new Tacoma. I haven't even washed it yet. Does a new truck need to be cleaned with a clay bar? What's a good clay bar kit? I'm old school, I've always used a name brand car soap with a sponge, dried off with a leather squeegee and waxed with Once a Year wax (waxed twice a year) looks like I need to update my cleaners. My 2004 Tundra did look great when I traded it in.

 

Way after, but yes more than likely it'll need to be clayed. You can use the shopping back method to check. And higher end waxes will bead and ahead water better, probably last a little longer too, but as far as it actually protecting the paint while it's there every wax will pretty much be the same.

 

This was my first time using Chemical Guys Jet Seal for my Spring detail. I have to say I've been very impressed. My maintinence washes have been quick and easy and it goes right back to that freshly detailed look.

Really diggin it!

 

I have had success with either WD40 or Comet cleanser over the years...

 

I started to pop on a bottle of Jet Seal I saw heavily discounted on ebay a couple days ago. Instead I picked up a bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate liquid wax at Walmart this morning.

 

You know I hear that all the time, but it sure doesn't take it off my hands afterward and this guy in the youtube video tried to remove wax with it and it didn't remove it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IeJsOR3V6g

I was actually hoping it would remove the wax.

 

Use soaps intended to strip waxes and sealers. Dawn is harsh on platics and ruber, so you want to avoid using it even if it did strip waxes or sealers off 100%

 

Should have gone with the Jet Seal
