Well if that was your method I assume you have a couple kids? LOL J/K

Man, I gotta say it really sucks that ARO is banned in your area! Greeat stuff.

I've heard good things about Bleach White and that Eagle One is alright I guess, not a big fan of the stuff. Megs APC+ ~6:1 and a stiff tire brush, to clean my tires every couple washes. Otherwise just a softer wheel brush with wash shampoo and dried w/ old MF or cotton towel, followed by Opti-bond which is my favorite right now. Not too far from what your doing I'm sure. I doubt YOU let your tires get dirty enough to need more than that. Do you really need to clean every trace of Opti-Bond before re-applying?

Probably

I bought Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel and it does a great job.

After washing the tire I can def tell it has removed the old dressing and looks clean.

I've used it about 4 times and still a good amount left, but I'm sure the others suggested might be a better value.

I applied Purple Power to my tires once a long time ago and some got on my factory painted Buick rims and it instantly ate into the clear. Strong is an understatement.

Yep!

Wesley Bleach does a good job on tires, just be careful around polished aluminum wheels.

Nope, not for wheels and tires. Fill up a spray bottle and soak the area down then scrub away. If it's exceptionally dirty then a second application might be in order.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if it was factory paint?

I've been using this stuff for 15 years or more and have never seen it harm any of my factory clear or painted wheels.
