Go-To Tire and Wheel cleaner

[willowcat11]

I've got quite a few vehicles lined up for detailing the next few months, and I'm looking for a Solid tire and wheel Cleaner at a decent price that I can buy in gallon or more amounts. What are you guys favorites to use?


Thanks!

I have always used Megs All Wheel and Tire Cleaner over the years. And just wondering if I should stick with it, or go with something else like Mckee's 37 Tire and Wheel Cleaner, or maybe if you guys have better suggestions?

Thanks,


Ray

Do you need iron decon also? If so, the 5L jug of Sonax is your most economical.

SONAX Wheel Cleaner, aluminum cleaner, chrome cleaner, all wheel cleaner, full effect wheel cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/sonax-wheel-cleaner-5l.html)

If not, I make my own with 5 oz orange degreaser, 2 oz Optimum No Rinse and 5 gal water.

I'd agree with Kirk, the 5 liter jug of SONAX is a great wheel cleaner that is both consistent in it's cleaning ability and safe for any surface. Two things you want when trying to work effective with your time.


For a tire cleaner I like the Tuf Shine tire cleaner and now it's available as a concentrate.


TUF SHINE Tire Cleaner CONCENTRATE 128 oz. NEW FORMULA! (http://www.autogeek.net/best-tire-cleaner.html)

I use the GRIOTS wheel and tire cleaner and have been very happy with it.

Brown Royal. That's all.

Just did my new tires with Tuf-Shine.

Tires are blooming terribly because they are new.

Been getting brown after 7-10 days (coated).

Took 2 applications of Tuf-Shine for it to turn white.

Really like the fact it goes white when the tires are clean.

Funny, my old tires only needed soap cleaning (after coated) and new need weekly cleaning.

Duragloss Ultimate Orange. Works in dilutions of 1:5 to straight as an effective tire cleaner. Depending on wheel condition it is very capable in that utilization. Also works very well for interiors at 1:20 and 1:10. It's dirt cheap too.

The megs or eagle one a2z is what I use, both do very well for OTC products. The eagle one is available in 64 oz. jugs

For tough-to-remove brake dust: Dr. Beasley's Intensive Brake Dust Remover (http://www.autogeek.net/dr-beasleys-brake-remover.html)
And to condition those tires once they're clean: Dr. Beasley's Tire Conditioner (http://www.autogeek.net/dr-beasleys-tire-conditioner.html)

The tires do not really have brake dust (which is black), this is brown blooming.

As far as dressing-well that is debateable to no end (I took stock I have 6 for my one car detailing project).

Do you use the regular formula or the heavy duty?
