My opinion of Tuf-Shine Tire Cleaner

[swanicyouth]

Is Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner safe for delicate wheels and regular clear-coated wheels if it gets on them (Which it will lol!).

I do have a bit of clear coat failure on my RX-7 stock wheel barrels and small bit on the face of the wheel and I read the product can "Stain some uncoated aluminum wheels". My WRX wheels are gold JDM painted and clear coated and I want to protect them from harm as well lol!

Yes. But don't let it dry on them.

Cool thanks Swanic. My griots rubber cleaner does not always get the job done so the Tuffshine might be a good stronger option for me before Opti-Bond/PERL etc.

I have both products. The TS is better. The guy from TS told me they did a ton of research to make sure the cleaner was safe on paint an wheels, and that its very effective.

You look at a company like Griots that makes, what ? 1000 products, and then look at TS - they make how many? Maybe 6?

Sounds like there are several fans of Tuf Shine around here......yet a total of ZERO people have given the Tuf Shine a positive review on the shopping site. People really use the ratings of the products so it might be nice if some of you actually rate the product. I'll be throwing some in my next order.

I like Tuf Shine but not fond of the brush.

Good point. I just left a review on the product page.

Maybe its because of the initial work involved in using the product. Unless you spend a lot of time getting the tire surgically clean initially, its not going to work well. Its also important to keep rinsing the brush with a hose. If you dip it in a bucket, you just going to re-deposit the old sticky dressings you removed.

I know it was a bit of a learning curve for me. If I didn't invest so much initial time in cleaning the tires, I probably would have scrapped it. But I initially spent several hours cleaning the tires and still had issues. I think I wasn't cleaning the brush right.

I find the TS product A1. Easy to use with great results. Rinsing the brush is important. The first time I used it on y car it took 3 scrubings to get the tires clean. After that, depending how long between cleaning I may only take one scrubing to clean the tire.
