Tire cleaner recommendations

Zep 505 is awesome, it seems pretty aggressive so I only use it when needed. I've been wanting to try Duragloss White Wall cleaner after I talked to them about it at Detail Fest last year

I think any of the cleaners/APCs mentioned above will do the job.
And yes you need a stiff brush, scrub and reapply multiple times (I had to spray, scrub and rinse my tires with Optimum OPC in a foaming sprayer 5 times to get them clean prior to applying Tuff Shine Coating).
The Tuff Shine Kit is a great option, it has everything you need (effective tire cleaner, good brush and tire coating with applicator).
I coated my tires (on a daily driver) 6 months ago and since then I only use soap and water to clean them and had to use APC only once, it was CG All Clean+ 1:10

I use APC on tires that are fairly clean. On dirtier tires I will use Tuf-shine or Omni-Clean. Both work very well, I however find the Omni-clean to cling to the tire better.

I got Duragloss White Wall cleaner when it was BOGO. Works very well. I couldn't believe how brown the tire run off was without brushing.

I have been using Wesleys Bleach white for a long time. It can even be diluted a little.

Another vote for Mother's foaming wheel and tire cleaner for regular cleaning. To deep clean periodically, go with Tuff Shine tire cleaner.

Another vote for Mothers.
