    Koch Chemie does a good job with their cleaning products for sure. MWC is hands down the best wheel cleaner I've tried.

    Looks like another great new and exciting product to be introduced by Koch Chemie here in the US of A! That browning action was insane! Koch Chemie looks like they have done it again! No doubt this will become a new favorite for many a detailer here in the US.

    Very impressive at 5:1 dilution. Thanks for the demo, Justin.

    KCX keeps adding on, I’ve used their products since I’ve started my business, I had to go elsewhere for strong tire cleaners but not anymore now I’m just waiting for them to get a strong water spot remover and bring on some more ceramics

    As an old person at 52 you see circular product cycles. There was a time when we got away from tire cleaners that did this because:
    “Tire sidewalls turn brown mainly because of an element added to the rubber called antiozonant. It saves tires from premature drying and cracking due to the process of oxidation. Tire browning is usually called blooming. It's a continuing process that can be prevented by thoroughly cleaning and protecting the tires.”
    The problem is when you use too aggressive a cleaner and you are then pulling the tire protection. That browning to me does not look like dirt or grime. Yes, is great to use a tire cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and old tire coatings. In this video it shows me an example of too aggressive a tire cleaner. I would only use this for my wheels.
    I’m not a Koch Chemie hater I use PSS for my tires and GUM for my floor mats. They are excellent products. The worst offender of a too aggressive tire cleaner is Adams.
    I’m old and may be completely wrong as tire technology has advanced. I’m only going by the appearance of what is being “pulled” from the tire and that it does not look like dirt.
    I’m open to any other explanations of the browning occurring.

      I think you’re right, I’d like to hear what a tyre manufacturer would say about this.

    • @MtnTownDetail
      @MtnTownDetail  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Correct. However, to reset the tire to stop that from happening so fast you need a good tire cleaner to knock it down. A good dressing was applied after to keep that browning away.

      I was using a strong degreaser for tires until I noticed it drying them out so I’ll use every once in awhile to get a deep clean then maintain them with green star, water based dressings help too. I like longer lasting but I think the solvent is bad for the tires

    I do the same vehicles about every ten days. None of them are rough. So a heavy cleaner does more stripping of the dressing than I like. Usually after three rounds of Perl 50/50, a fourth isn't needed. How is this product with stripping dressings at your ratio? Sometimes you want to strip them, sometimes you don't. Hard to give up BrakeBuster, but I'm not married to any product.

    • @MtnTownDetail
      @MtnTownDetail  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Running this product at 10:1 you wouldn’t strip the dressing. However, at 5:1 you would strip it.

    so your foam sprayer there, how much product in ml or oz are you using to water? And is that enough for all 4 wheels?

      @MtnTownDetail  Před 4 měsíci +2

      It’s diluted 5:1
      27 oz water
      5 oz of Awh
      More than enough for all 4 wheels. I get atleast 2 vehicles out of one fill. I use a lot of foam per wheel as well though.
