    help with dilution for meguiars non acid wheel and tire

    I ordered some meguiars non acid wheel cleaner. I was wondering what a good dilution ratio would be for it when used on somewhat soiled rims. I dont need full strength, however, I dont want it to be ineffective...

    thanks for the info, I am not going to always encounter rims with brake dust basically glued on, however I will encounter rims with a coating of brake dust

    I did some math after a forum member posted. At 4 to 1, you have 6.4oz of chemical and 25.6oz of water.

    3-1 works for me.
    Just make sure not to let it dry on you and only do one wheel at a time. Make sure the wheel is cool to the touch.
