Like some others have said, Dark Fury, is my absolute favorite detailing product hands down. 1 gallon diluted into 4 gallons of water in a 5 gallon with distilled water It is absolutely a touchless option, I’ve cleaned some really caked on nasty wheels only touchless, barrels included. The key in my testing was , spray all the wheels and wheel wells, then go rinse from your starting point. And it comes out perfect 99% of the time. It is so versatile, I use it on the front bumper, the lower quarters of the car, plastic trim that’s gunked up. I do touchless door jambs with it, it is safe on coated cars, I’ve used it on coated vehicles many times and it uncloges the coatings where applied. And the price, literally can’t be beat. 23.99 at o’Riley’s for 5 gallons of ready to use product. You won’t find that anywhere. I honestly love superior products, unfortunately I have a hard time getting them in Canada without crossing over the boarder and picking them up at orileys
Dark Fury works well for many applications, as some have already mentioned. Early on, I would get staining. Trick is to dilute it well, spray it on while car is wet, avoid windows and hot panels. Rinse very well and Wash well with a Ph balanced soap. It's still a hitter for me as an all in one type of product. Wet or Foamed on
Nice review, Martin! I've never used DF on wheels/tires, but it's my go-to on filthy-nasty-neglected door jambs. I can spray it, let it set for a few seconds (not too long), and then rinse it off carefully with a pressure washer. No scrubbing generally needed at all. Good stuff for that role!
I used to use it a long time ago, it is a great product. Just be careful- used it as a pre soak for traffic film and if stained the hell out of my paint, definitely use it on a wet surface, I had to polish it out haha.
What kind of spray bottle do you use? Every single spray bottle I have ordered or bought anywhere doesn’t even work at all! Why do people make products that just don’t work and then they sell them. I need something that’s gonna work like a real spray bottle. Do you know what you use there?
pH does not tell you much. Many detailers don’t understand this. A few drops of hydrochloric acid in water will produce a very low pH because pH is logarithmic, but this solution would be weak and safe. Or, a high concentration of a weaker acid could have the same or lower pH and be highly corrosive. Since he diluted it 1:4 then the neat pH is about 12. It’s not linear, but logarithmic. I suspect this stuff is MUCH stronger than Adam’s Wheel and Tire.
I have not, I just test at the suggested dilutions for best info. Purpose for testing ph is just to show where the product falls on the scale so you know what materials to avoid contact with.
@@chrisbradley3224 I think it is a better wheel cleaner than adams, but not a better tire cleaner. adams is insanely strong on rubber. likely has to do with the surfactants used.
@@chrisbradley3224 correct, it t does state to only use on factory clear coated wheels. generally you want to keep alkaline cleaners away from aluminum.
@Burnt_Cheeto420jason I'm right there with you in Austin man just stay out of direct sun if you can and wash 1 wheel at a time, don't let the stuff dry
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa yeah I been thinking about it and also doing my research on them seems pretty good they also have a TH-cam channel on all their stuff plus it’s all available on O’Reillys website.
@@antellez Carpro Hydro2 Foam, Griot's Ceramic Wash & Coat, Chem X Snake Oil, Superior Image Amplify, even Armor All Ceramic car wash. Some you can use as you wash and they all can be used as a last step.

Just be careful spraying all wheels at the same time. This stuff is caustic and can ruin certain finishes if it sits on there too long.

Great review. That’s what deterred me from buying dark fury was the strong smell. It’s great cleaner and affordable!! but not for my lungs.
Works great on bug guts

Excellent choice
I've used it and it's great... stinks and you have to make sure you rinse your driveway afterwards... it can stain it
I've been using it for years. never had an issue from staining. Superior also claimed the color is from a raw material it has and from not a dye.
@@AlexHernandez-ox5tv I think he meant the surfactants and chemicals in it not the color causing staining
@@goatedvault1070 ooo ok 👍🏼

Exact same experience I had too. Left darker spots on my paint maybe where I didn't rinse it off fast enough
@@Mr.SparkleOGyeah after that I never used it again lol
@@kristofferpence me neither and I still have about half a gallon or so of it left
@@Mr.SparkleOGhaha yep. I do use their pink perfection these days but it’s nasty, looking for something else a bit safer for me but still effective
@@kristofferpencepink perfection is slap full of Carcinogens
I tried it, it works ok but ill stick with my Super Clean
gotta use what works for you!
Would have been better if you used a real rim an not a plastic wheel cover
Yea probably

The trigger sprayers I like to use are made by Tolco. The bottles are mostly generic other than the Carpro Dilute bottles.
Superior white wall cleaner is a better tire cleaner than dark fury. You should try it.
I've got that review coming up
Have you tried nanoskin wheel and tire cleaner? Cheapest on the market .
no not yet

pH 11 is not that bad, considering Adams W&T is pH 13. Did you test the pH of DF undiluted?

@@BelLavoroAutoSpaI see, probably correct. I would still be careful with this stuff, if you did a raw aluminum test I’m sure it’ll be quite corrosive.

Used to use it, good product.
What are the pros using now
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa if you find out let me know
what are you doing using that hard bristle brush on those poor hubcaps..😢 they didn't hurt you.. be nice to them and use a dofter brush. i beg you.😅😅
Man this thing is in such rough shape I was doing it a favor lol
Only subscribing because I like the Gundam sticker in the background.
my man! I do PC content every now and then too its not always detailing. if and when I go full time I might do gunpla building streams.
Great song. Gundum Style
@@iLoveBoysandBerries Gangnam style?
Have you compared Dark Fury to Super Clean? I can buy 2.5 gallons of Super Clean for about $22 (US).
Dedicated wheel and tire cleaners beat out all purpose cleaners in every test I've done.
What dilution I’ve tried 10:1 but wasn’t as satisfied tbh
@@Burnt_Cheeto420jason 4:1 is what i use
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa and in your opinion because I’m from Texas so we got high heat and humidity would it be safe still 4:1 on wheel/paint
@Burnt_Cheeto420jason I'm right there with you in Austin man just stay out of direct sun if you can and wash 1 wheel at a time, don't let the stuff dry
What’s your go to wheel and tire cleaner?, if you had to choose one
I like using dark fury for most OEM wheels.
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa ok I’ll definitely have to try 💪🤝
Thanks for the information 🤝
Ethos, almost always touches
Would you stick with this brand ? They have a large amount of different chemicals and products for both interior and exterior plus it’s local
They are a great brand if you choose to stick with them for all your chemical needs.
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa yeah I been thinking about it and also doing my research on them seems pretty good they also have a TH-cam channel on all their stuff plus it’s all available on O’Reillys website.
Try their formula 4 spray wax in a foam cannon
No desire for it, I use ceramic products that can be foamed on
@BelLavoroAutoSpa Any recommendations on these Foamed ceramics you mentioned sir?
@@antellez Carpro Hydro2 Foam, Griot's Ceramic Wash & Coat, Chem X Snake Oil, Superior Image Amplify, even Armor All Ceramic car wash. Some you can use as you wash and they all can be used as a last step.
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa Thanks for the reply. Appreciate you man
Please use nitrile gloves buddy!
You'll thank me later in life.
Use gloves with all chemicals.👍
Good cleaning power but it stains the drive way. I would avoid it.
Didn't leave any marks for me but I can see how it would if it dried before rinsing away
best wheel and bug cleaner is ...Buster from Aredex
Not a fan of heavy smelling de greasers.
What have you found that you like?
@@BelLavoroAutoSpa greenstar is rather mild.
