  • Clean rubber (wheels) and headliners

    What do you guys clean wheels with?
    It's brown, what can I scrub them with?
    I don't find any products in detailers nor mirror glaze to thoroughly clean wheels.

    Also how do you clean headliner? APC, soft brush, and clean microfiber only?

    Rubber wheels? I assume you're talking about the tires? Tires just soak with the wheel brightener and brush with any stiff brush. You could also just use an older wash mitt with your carwash soap.

    As far as headliner, do not get it very wet, you will cause it to sag. If you want to use All-Purpose Cleaner, just spray some onto a clean terry cloth towel (do not soak heavily) and just scrub the area on the headliner you want to clean. Just be careful not to get it too wet.

      For my tires I use APC diluted at 4:1, and scrub with a brush. It works great, takes the brown right off.

        Yeah, if you can get APC, thats the easiest for tires, and even a toothbrush is fine to agitate with.

        For headliners, it is best to leave them alone if possible. If it does need cleaned, then APC sprayed onto a cloth, and blotted gently on the headliner would be best.

          For tires I also use apc at 4:1. Then scrub with a brush. I haven't tried to tackle a headliner yet.

            Yeah, I mean tires forgot the word for it.
            I think I have done the right thing. I am using APC 1:4 and wheel brightner for the wheels/rims. Thanks for the input
