I like D143 for general to slightly dirty wheels and tires personally.
    Correct, that was my point. Sorry for not explaining better.

    Try McKee's 37 tire cleaner. Great stuff. A lot better for the rubber than using an APC. I bought my first gallon when it was still Detailer's brand. On my third gallon now. One of the few things that I started buying and have never tried to find something better...no need to.

    This made me chuckle. To also use an analogy, that's like going to a hotdog stand and asking what they're serving.

    To ask anyone on this forum why they tried something different even if they were happy with something they were using is to forget: We're tinkerers. And you don't know how green the grass is on the other side of the fence unless you climb up and take a peek. Maybe something else gets the same result with a little less effort, little less hit on the wallet, or maybe does even better on all fronts.

    Just my take.

    I don't get the fuss over cleaning the tires unless your coating them. I spray 114 on them wipe them down then spray some hyper dressing and wa la beautiful again. When I first started detailing i bought way too many products and now I'm down to about 3 and the car looks sharp

    Nice point frank but I've learned that the longevity of your dressing is affected by how clean your tire is. And I'm trying to cut down on my products but im addicted.
