Wheel & tire cleaner recommendation?

[ajack6292]

Wife and "the girls" heading to NYC next weekend, perfect time for spring decon, clay, polish & wax. BUT: just emptied my 64 oz. Wolfgang Tire & Wheel Cleaner. Bought it b/c it's advertised as doing both well, and I've been pretty happy with it. Still, like most, I'm always looking for something better. I still plan to use Pinnacle Black Onyx to finish the tires, and I've been thinking about McKee's 37 Wheel Coating. So: What say all you experts?

I am curious as well, currently I just use Mother's wheel cleaner, and then go straight to OPT for tires. I find the OPT doesn't last long even with 3 layers put on. I may try the Wolfgang cleaner... seems like a nice product, and not too pricey. Might help with the dressing.

Personally I use iron X

It's pricy but it really works well and FAST. Also great for paint as well so I spray it all over the wheels and paint before wash.

I use Meguiars 'All Wheel & Tire Cleaner' works great on the rubber and the rims

Meguiar's D143 Non Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner is an incredible value and performs very well. You can dilute it either to 1:1 or 2:1 depending on your needs. If need be, you can always follow up with Iron-X to decontaminate the wheels.

Lots of Meguiars fans, eh? I do use several of their products already so I'll give them a go. Thanks to everybody for taking time to answer.
Now, anybody have any ideas what to do about a weather forecast of rain for a week? 😭

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.

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.
