    LSP safe tire cleaner

    Greetings!

    I've got a question that's probably been asked and answered 1000x before. But I'm running a bit late and can't really do a thorough search of these forums.

    Is there an OTC tire cleaner that won't strip wax/sealant if over-spray gets on my car's finish?

    I'm not too concerned with the wheels. They're stock steel rims.

    Just coated with BFWD last week, and plan on appyling a second coat today. I guess that it's fully cured by now. LOL

    Can anyone shoot some suggestions my way? I'd be much obliged.
    It never fails. Whenever anything hits the windshield, it's always on the driver's side....and at eye level!

    I would recommend using your ph neutral car wash shampoo ( the rule of " least aggressive product first" ) IF this is not strong enough I would use P21S wheel cleaner or Sonax full effect wheel cleaner both are ph neutral as well and should not strip wax if you get a little overspray. Speaking of overspray you can use a EZ detail brush, dip it into your shampoo or spray your cleaner onto it and then wash your wheels, that should remove any risk of overspray.

    OC your rims. Best thing I ever did.

    Just use some car soap or leftover ONR that I pour into my wheel bucket and save for the start of the next wash...

    If you keep your wheels waxed or coated, regular car wash soap and a good wheel brush is all you should need.

    Your best bet is to use a quality APC and just spray carefully around the tire. A little over spray shouldn't affect the BF.

    I just now had a chance to do a follow-up on this thread.

    Big mahalos to everyone who chimed in with tips and product recommendations. I appreciate the help greatly!

    Used ONR solution, since least aggressive is always recommended first. If that does not clean tires, I'll use a good APC and spray carefully around tires, being careful not to let dwell on my car's finish. Scrub and rinse. Voila!

    Thanks again, everyone!
