This. Absolutely amazing cleaner and very affordable. If the wheels are really bad, ill throw some acid on them or Iron X. But I can literally clean 9 out of 10 sets with this.

Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel and Tire Cleaner D-14301

Is a good choice and will make several 32oz bottles of wheel & tire cleaner. I have also been looking at Mckees tire coating, but have not pulled the trigger yet. Gets old reapplying tire dressing. Currently using BF AIO TRIM & TIRE protectant. Very happy with it. Great looking tire afterwards, and the only one i found with no sling!!

Brown Royal can be diluted (recommended) and is safe on paint too.

Safe on powder coated wheels?

If anyone figures it out, let me know too ... unless someone wants to come over and clean out all my wife's junk out of my garage

I wouldn't use it on powder coated wheels. For that I would use Meguiar's D101 APC at 4:1.
Meguiar’s All Purpose Cleaner Concentrate, 1 Gallon, works on carpet, fabric, vinyl, and leather for all-over interior cleaning.

I use the 303 Protectant and have been happy so far, its my all in one for my daily driver, and only driver I might add... The protectant last for about a week or two. No sling and I put a good amount on especially around the outside edge where tires tend to check. It gets applied every two weeks. It gets rotated in every other week with more finicky items not need to done every week.

It's great stuff, but for it's price I tend to only use it when I truly need it. 8/10 times I reach for Megs D143 Wheel & Tire Cleaner. I go through lots of this stuff @2:1. I might as well start buying 2 gallons at a time.
