    Exclamation How To Clean Dirty Tires Properly w/ Professional Tips & Tricks


    This video showcases how to properly clean your dirty tires using an All Purpose Cleaner typically dubbed an APC. This is one of the more cost effective options for cleaning your tires. This is Meguiars D101 Foaming All Purpose Cleaner from their Professional Detailing line of products. This APC was used full strength in this video in a foaming spray nozzle and a normal style spray nozzle (previously a tuf shine tire cleaner bottle which in my opinion is one of the best tire cleaners) Don't worry Ashley leads this video so it's more fun than normal!

    Hey Ashley, great how-to video illustrating a fast and economical way to keep those tires clean and black. Meguiar's all purpose cleaner will also work well on those wheels too!

    •Thanks for sharing this video:
    -Ashley did a wonderful job!

    •I liked the foaming-sprayer/D101-product
    tire cleaning method best...

    -Perhaps Ashley should have stayed with that foaming spray apparatus, instead of switching over to the Tuf Shine sprayer:
    -I became quite alarmed when she started coughing after spraying the tire down with that spraying-apparatus/D101.

    Note:
    D101 APC's hazardous chemical ingredients, what materials (metals) to avoid, and proper PPE is outlined here:

    She said thanks! Hopefully I'll convince her into doing a proper wheel cleaning video soon too

    Completely agree Bob this stuff is harsh and you learn to try not to breathe when near it. It's one of the biggest deterrents of this product for me. mothers foaming wheel and tire cleaner is much easier to cope with.

    The normal sprayer type creates a mist whereas you know a fair amount gets into the air whereas the foaming sprayer clumps it all together. So the mist uses much less product but the foamer is definitely easier on the user!

    No gloves when using a chemical that strips the oil from your skin and not protecting your lungs = fail.

    A common thing I hear older people say is 'I wish I knew when I was younger, what I know now.' Sorry about the preaching, but Ashley, these are thing that can negatively affect you later in life.
