Re: Review: Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner (D-143)
I also use it as a tire cleaner. It starts working as soon as the product hits the surface of the tire.

2.) I remember that you once asked
a very similar question. Accordingly:
-I know that I’ve always liked, and appre-
ciated, the answer that Mike Phillips gave
to that question. On the other hand:
-I can not state, with the same certainty,
that you had/have the same appreciation.

is Mike’s response from that time

add?
My guess is yes, at least a little each time you
use the wheel cleaner. If for no other reason
then via micro-abrasion.
Remember waxes and sealants are sacrificial
barrier coatings, they are supposed to wear off
or sacrifice themselves so the surface they are
on doesn't have to sacrifice itself i.e. were down.

Currently my rims are coated with McK 37’s Hydro Blue and I can’t say I’ve noticed a sharper decline after using D-143 vs just a soapy brush. Given how hot and dirty rims get, from my own observations, LSP’s in general tend to degrade more quickly than another other exterior surface.

I just used d143 for the first time today( I ordered based on this review) and I'm very impressed. I've been using super clean up to now because I'm an idiot and listen to people on YouTube.
I plan on using this mostly for tires because I like megs wheel brightner. My question is would super degreaser trump 143 if used solely as a tire cleaner. I have d101 but never have ordered super degreaser and now I'm curious. Thanks

No, Super Degreaser isn't a very good tire cleaner IME. Especially if you're trying to remove previously applied tire dressings. You should stick with D143 for tires.
If you want a better tire cleaner Optimum Power Clean 3:1 is the best I've found by a long shot.
3D orange degreaser 4:1 is also a great tire cleaner and is actually a little cheaper than D108 Super Degreaser if you're looking for a more economical option.

Thank you I'll take a look at the optimum when this runs low I'm not afraid to spend money on something that works

Does anyone dilute D143 2:1 or better just straight up?

2:1 works very good. I've used it both ways and didn't notice a difference in performance. 2:1 makes it last longer.
