works great on rims and tires just dilute with water.

Be careful with it... it can possible stain your wheels. Do not use on bare aluminum. It does do a good job diluted but it can be some potent stuff.

I've used it a lot in the past with various dilutions. I can't remember for sure but it was anywhere from 2:1 to 4:1 water:SG. I stopped using it because I heard about the possibility of staining metals... so now I use products that are made for each specific application, ie- Wheel cleaner, tire cleaners, engine degreaser etc. instead of taking the risk with SG.

From the Simple Green Website:


Aluminum - Is it safe to use Simple Green on aluminum?
Simple Green products have been successfully and safely used on aircraft, automotive, industrial and consumer aluminum items for over 20 years. However, caution and common sense must be used: Aluminum is a soft metal that easily corrodes with unprotected exposure to water. The aqueous-base and alkalinity of Simple Green or Crystal Simple Green can accelerate the corrosion process. Therefore, contact times of All-Purpose Simple Green and Crystal Simple Green with unprotected or unpainted aluminum surfaces should be kept as brief as the job will allow - never for more than 10 minutes. Large cleaning jobs should be conducted in smaller-area stages to achieve lower contact time. Rinsing after cleaning should always be extremely thorough - paying special attention to flush out cracks and crevices to remove all Simple Green/Crystal Simple Green residues. Unfinished, uncoated or unpainted aluminum cleaned with Simple Green products should receive some sort of protectant after cleaning to prevent oxidation.

Personally, I use alternatives.
