Are products from ADBL Leather Kit suitable for use on leather of any color?
Products from the ADBL Leather Kit are suitable for any color of natural leather and eco-leather.
-
ADBL Bonnet, after drying, there were streaks. Why?
ADBL Bonnet is designed for non-extractive cleaning of fabric surfaces that are not suitable for saturation (headliner, door panels, armrest). The product itself does not leave streaks and completely evaporates from the fabric surface. However, when used on heavily soiled surfaces with dirt deeply embedded in the fabric structure, it must be rinsed with an extraction vacuum cleaner. Without rinsing, the product only moves the dirt with the brush rather than removing it. For heavy soiling, it is recommended to rinse the dirt, and as an additional step in this process, the use of ADBL Textile Rinse is recommended.
-
If there is a white residue when rinsing ADBL Tar and Glue Remover, what should be done?
One should rinse the product generously until the white traces are no longer visible.
-
Shampoos, waxes, QD – how does using them on a car with color-changing wrap look like? Are there any products that absolutely should not be used on such a film?
In the case of body care chemicals such as shampoos, active foams, and protectants, there are no issues with using them on a car wrapped in film. Caution should be exercised with solvent-based products such as ADBL Tar Pro, ADBL Wipe Out Pro, ADBL Tar and Glue Remover, and highly alkaline solutions like ADBL APC Pro and ADBL Green’gine.
-
What material are ADBL Detailing Swabs made of? Are they a reusable product?
Detailing Swabs are made of plastic sticks with foam tips and are designed for multiple uses. After use, you can simply rinse them, for example, in water with a shampoo or another detergent.

-
Can leather seats be gently wiped with Interior Cleaner?
Yes, if the eco-leather and the instrument cluster cover, provided they don’t have an anti-reflective coating, are made of plastic, you can safely clean them with ADBL Interior Cleaner.
-
Is ADBL Hybrid Glass suitable for a panoramic roof? Will it not create a hydrophobic effect?
ADBL Hybrid Glass is a liquid for regular cleaning of glass surfaces, leaving behind an invisible wiper effect (hydrophobic). Therefore, if this effect is undesirable, we recommend using Glass Cleaner 2 (Holawesome Line).
-
What are the differences between ADBL Tire Dressing and ADBL Black Water?
ADBL Tire Dressing is applied to a dry tire using an applicator, resulting in darkening and a wet-look effect. ADBL Black Water can be applied to a wet tire, providing a strong darkening effect. It can also be used on other rubber and plastic elements.
Regarding durability, it largely depends on how well the tire was prepared for the dressing—lasting from several weeks to 2-3 months.
-
Can ADBL Tar Pro damage a ceramic coating? Should it be used during ceramic coating maintenance, or is it recommended only for heavy-duty situations?
ADBL Tar Pro is a highly aggressive tar remover designed for targeted applications. Therefore, we strongly advise against using it on a ceramic coating. However, we can recommend our product ADBL Tar and Glue Remover, which, thanks to the use of natural solvents, is much safer for protected surfaces.
-
What to use to remove rust stains on the car body?
In every case of such dirt, we recommend ADBL Vampire products – depending on the severity of the contamination, either ADBL Vampire or ADBL Vampire Liquid. However, in some cases, if the dirt is baked in, paint correction may be necessary.
-
Which of the deironizers is best suited for decontaminating paint and wheels?
For paint decontamination, ADBL Vampire Liquid is the most effective choice. Thanks to its lightweight consistency, it can be easily sprayed using an atomizer or sprayer, ensuring high efficiency. In comparison to the regular ADBL Vampire, it has a significantly shorter reaction time and can be rinsed off even after 5 minutes. It can also be used for wheels, but if there is a high level of metallic contaminants on the wheels, I would recommend ADBL Vampir. For everyday wheel cleaning, ADBL Vampire Light is recommended.
-
How should I wash a car protected with Quick Wax?
Using the appropriate active foam will not remove ADBL Quick Wax from the paint surface; in fact, it will help soften dirt adhered to the car. In your case, I would recommend using a neutral pH foam, such as ADBL Yeti or ADBL Yeti Pearl, which are not aggressive towards this product. After using the active foam, it is advisable to hand wash and dry the vehicle. If the product continues to work during washing, there is no need to reapply it after each wash, but it also wouldn’t be a mistake to do so.
