    need a good tire cleaner

    I dont want to mix apc as my wife will get out there from time to time and wash the car and I don't want to take a chance on ruining my tires and or rims. So guide me to what I need. Ivam a little scared of using apc straight as I dont want yo damage the tires but if yall have personal experience with one with no issues I might try it. Just need to be able to grab and go.

    Re: need a good tire cleaner

    There is a few things that I do that makes car soap and water sufficient in my opinion.

    1. Wax the wheels
    2. I use water based dressing on my tires
    3. I wash my car at least once in 2 weeks.

    As long as you're not using it weekly on your tires you'll be fine. Use it every few washes to remove the grime and buildup. In between just scrub them well.
