Re: Rinseless TIRE/WHEEL Wash-experimenting: suggestions?
It's very likely you were dealing with a pretty bad wheel/tire combo to start with.
My wheels are never that difficult to clean with just ONR left from cleaning the rest of the vehicle and a Meguiar's body brush.
Tires are done with a competitors tire cleaner and a nylon brush.
I think the one thing I would have done differently was use the APC first to get the first layer off, then followed with the ONR.
The terry towels are what I use as well and if they get too cruddy, I just pitch them.

Re: Rinseless TIRE/WHEEL Wash-experimenting: suggestions?
It's going to be tough to prep the wheels and tires using rinse less methods. I think that may be your best approach for now though.Leave a comment:

Rinseless TIRE/WHEEL Wash-experimenting: suggestions?
This is what I tried out this morning on my tires/wheels. My SoCal condo = water restrictions. I need to figure how to clean with the minimum effort/time for an eventual detail.
88 Honda Civic.
Tools:
-One gal garden sprayer + 2 oz ONR (double strength)
-Brush
-APC 10:1
-Terry towels (cheap)
1. Sprayed wheels/tires with ONR
let dwell;
agitated w. ONR'd brush
2 Sprayed APC
let dwell;
Agitated w. APC'd brush
Rinsed w. ONR; wiped with ONR dampened Terry
3. Repeated for missed areas.
Sucked.
(Well......much better than a car-wash, but, not prepped for a cleaner or LSP.)
