Tire cleaning opinions... products used?

I've used Bleache White in the past for tire cleaning. I feel it works very very well, but being so inexpensive and an OTC product, I'm wandering how safe it is. Now, I ONLY use it on tires.

I'm also on the search for a good engine degreaser/cleaner. I want something CHEAP and availaible in gallons. I'm leaning towards Megs Super Degreaser for this since I've had great luck with their pro line.

Bleache White is only $5 for 64 oz. and I KNOW it works, so it's hard to go away from it when it comes to bulk detailing.

Opinions please?

Sorry, I guess I don't fulfill your requirements.

Armor All under 3 dollars for a can @ wally. That is the most cost effective one for me.

Lacquer thinner on a rag over the whitewalls works great

I've used Simple Green diluted 10:1, and it works beautifly for me as the most economical option so far. Out of a gallon you can make around 40 32oz sprayers. Not bad for $9.00 for a gallon... and a LOT safer than Bleache White

soap and water with a nice brush is usually all thats needed. Try to avoid wheel cleaners, especially store bought, as it could damage tires if using acid or lye as cleaning agents.

I usually only use a degreaser like SG on an initial cleaning. After that, my wheel ShMitt and NXT soap water does the trick...........along with my new pressure washer!

Do you also suggest Simple Green 10:1 for engines? Or Should I order Megs Super Degreaser?
