  • Super Degreaser as a tire cleaner

    Here's some before and afters where I had to use Super Degreaser at 4:1 to get this tire dressing off. I tried full-strength Simple Green, APC+ 10:1 and 4:1, Dawn, and a mixture of all three to no avail. The Super Degreaser also cleaned out the brush that I was using as well that got all gunked up while trying to scrub the tire with all of the other products. The dressing that was on these tires was Black Magic Platinum Tire Gel.

    I also used some on the wheel to try and get whatever it is on there off. It did take some off as you can see (it lightened the stain), though I never tried more than that one application.

    Before (even after scrubbing and scrubbing with all of the above)





    After (Super Degreaser 4:1)

          Thanks Tyler for that.

          I use Eagle 1 All wheel/TIRE cleaner, seems to work good. But I want to start elminating products and stick to bulk.

            when i use eagle one foam tire cleaner it makes me feel like i am using Nxt tire cleaner. If i dont have nxt tire cleaner i just end up using eagle one, with a versa angle tire brush of course

              Yes. I decided to re-write it real quick as Super Degreaser has come up quite often as of late.

              Thanks!

              I do love my E1 A2Z Wheel/Tire Cleaner (now called All Wheel and Tire; I just stick with the older abbreviated name), don't get me wrong. I too want to eliminate all of my little bottles everywhere. I believe this is a very good subsitute in regards to strength and cleaning ability without that "burnt buttered popcorn chemical" smell of the E1.

                It does stink.

                I used to use that Costco Degreser on my tires years ago and it does goof up painted wheels, so be careful with painted wheels. Spritz with water, spray, agitate, rinse. Don't spray and forget about it.

                Good to know though, thanks again, I have SD and wanted to try it.

                    If you have used the trigger version of E1 A2Z, you know exactly what smell I am talking about. The foaming aerosol doesn't seem to have that smell.

                      I guess no one uses Wesley's Brite White? Seems to work pretty well for me, except on nasty tire gels...

                        I use Megs degreaser on every set of tires I do. I know it's going to work everytime so why use anything else?

                          Yep, its my favorite tire cleaner. It is reasonably priced and works extremely well. I love how quickly you can scrub a tire to cleanliness in seconds, perfect for your Meguiar's tire dressing of choice.
