Tire Cleaners, what works best??

[Iluv2zmzm]

what does everyone use to clean their tires?? i have used those foam cleaners, let it sit for 10 min, scrub w/ tire brush rinse, but they are still dirty when they are dried..

APC maybe??

thanks

I think a few sprays of APC works as well as anything else.

I keep my APC diluted to about 6:1, and a foaming head sprayer, so maybe 2-3 applications per tire. Probably less would be needed if you used a stonger dilution.

What is APC?

All Purpose Cleaner. The stuff is great, can use it to clean just about everything in the house and on the car.

Castrol Degreaser works great on the tires I clean. I keep it off the rims since I'm using it concentrate. It makes my tires a nice, flat, clean black that can be left alone or I can add Endurance Tire Gel.

NXT Generation Car Wash, applied using an OXO Ergonomic Tire Brush. The brush allows you to realy put force in the scrubbing without the chance of damaging the rims.

I have access to a very limited selection of OTC tire cleaners, and not a single Meguiar's candidate. The best I found was Eagle One's tire cleaner. Spray, wait, rinse.

However, it took too much product per tire to do a good job, so I'm using the cheapest : Simoniz with a brush. A bit longer and more efforts involved, but result is good and I can do a lot of tires with a bottle.

I like the Foaming Tire Spray. It works exceptionally well and looks great when followed up with Endurance high gloss.
