Good quality car shampoo...

[Lexi65]

Need to start doing my own washes and don't want to spend any more $ at this point. Wondering if (since I have a garage queen)
I could use a good car shampoo to clean the tires and wheels... They're in great condition! .

While it's not ideal, you can use car wash to clean well maintained wheels. I would dilute it heavy in a spray bottle with a foaming sprayer & spray right on the wheel. Whatever it calls for to make a gallon, I would use to make 32oz. That's just how I would do it, with a bucket of rinse water.

You can't really use car wash to effectively clean tires correctly - unless they are coated with Tuff Shine.

Sure. The idea that you have to use an expensive wheel cleaner every time you wash is ridiculous. I ONR wash wheels and tires all the time.

I've never had to use a dedicated wheel cleaner and all I have is an ungaraged daily driver.
Tires are another story.

I started using optimum car wash, my wheels are maintained works like a charm.

Optimum car wash works well. Opti-clean is great, too.

I like the Chemical Guys shampoo.
