I found a tire cleaner that cost $1.00
Well, my wife found it, it's call LA's Totally Awesome that you can buy at the dollar tree.
I mixed the 32oz bottle into a gallon of water and wow, what a great tire cleaner.
My tires on my truck were really filty so I tested it against my favorite tire cleaner, Meg's Hot Shine Wheel & Tire Cleaner.
I sprayed half of the tire with the Awesome cleaner, the other half with Meg's.
Let it sit for about two minutes , brushed them then rinsed, both sides were very clean and black looking when they dried.
So now I will go and buy 10 bottles which will give me a strong APC for 10 bucks.
That's 10 gallons of APC

Awesome is great I've used that a lot in the past

This is a great product. I use it strait though. It works well for tires, and also to clean pads. Pretty much anytime you need a strong degreaser (strait).

AWESOME is AWESOME, but beware of the fumes

I use LATA straight as well. The fumes are nasty but the cleaning power is great. Gotta be careful with it around wheels though.

Re: I found a tire cleaner that cost $1.00
Next time I go to the dollar store (well one of them anyway there are 6 different ones at walking distance from my house), I will see if they sell it.
I realized today just how much Wheel cleaner I am using (I am talking about the rims not the tires). I use Meg's Hot Wheels, pretty expensive stuff (about 8$ for 22 onces).
Can anyone suggest something cheaper that works well?
Can I use an APC like D103? Or a degreaser?

Optimum Power Clean is great on wheels. So is Zep Citrus which can be had cheaply from Home Depot.

I will mix Awesome half and half for the wheels , it should work fine and only cost .50 cents

It states on the bottle acid free.
I'll give it a shot, careful mixing it.
