Sprayed tires with WGTW, agitated with soft brush and rinsed. Brown stuff washed off. Followed the same procedure on same tire with ARO (Amazing Rolloff). A lot of brown crud washed off. WGTW doesn't hack it compared to ARO as a tire cleaner. These tires are only 6 mos. old.

ARO is cheaper too. Buy a gallon and dilute accordingly.

Does it have the dilution ratios on the jug?

I did the same test with Zep Citrus, ARO, and Mothers Wheel & Tire Cleaner. I dpi.d that while the ARO worked better then Zep, the Mothers beat them all. I split the tire in half and did half and half on all the tires using the different products. The Zrp still had brown showing, the ARO looked clean, but the Mothers looked deeper black with no brown at all. I then cleaned all the tires with the mothers and the brown came out right when it was sprayed on. It is now go to. I buy it by the gallon.

It just needs to diluted 1:1.

is it safe to dilute ARO? it is water activated after all. if so, definitely buying a gallon next time.

Dilute what you need. Does the water lessen the effects if it sits for a while diluted?

It's fine to dilute. I use it for my vert top. I have a 32oz bottle that I made from my gallon that has been diluted for 6 months. It still works just as good as it did on day one.
