  • NXT Tire Cleaner Review

    My review of the NXT Tire Cleaner…



    Packaging & Labeling:

    The packaging and labeling is fine. It comes in a very colorful spray can… what more can I say.

    Usage Tips/Directions:

    Directions are good and typical for these types of products…
    Spray the foam on to the tire.
    Let set for 30 seconds.
    For heavy dirt, agitate with a tire brush.
    Rinse thoroughly.

    NOTE: There are precautions about the use of the product that should be read before usage. This should be the case with any product… read the precautions.

    Performance:

    The tire cleaner performed very well and appears to be a product with considerable cleaning power. I also like cleaning products that “cling� to the surface and have at least a little dwell time to work… this one does that. When used in concert with the Versa-Angle Tire Brush, it cleaned up the tires nicely. I was particularly impressed with the way it cleaned up the RWL tires on one of my vehicles.

    Value:

    One of my only concerns about this product… is its economic value. Most foam tire cleaners generally don’t provide many applications before the product runs out. Based upon the amount of product I used on 8 tires and how much product seems to be left in the can… this may be this products one minor downfall.

    Conclusions:

    Pros:
    Easy to use.
    Like the foam.
    Cleans very well.

    Cons:
    Price per usage?
    Needs to be used with some user caution.

    Initial Ratings:

    All in all, a very good product!

    For Joe Consumer, who will probably use this product infrequently, it is a winner!
    Consumer rating = 9

    Although it works well and is strong enough for the detailing enthusiast, there are some other products that also work well and are considerably more economical. Some of those products are in the Meguiar’s product line.
    Detailing Enthusiast rating = 8

    Again, I will be doing a long term evaluation update of the tire cleaner.

    Another great review Boss! You and I must have had the same products and agenda in mind recently.

    I used this product for the first time as well and was really impressed.

    I used it on my low profile tires and my winter tires (now in storage for the summer)

    My winter tires were pretty nasty from the winter season and the summer tires were fairly clean with some dressing on them and about 500km's of driving since the last cleaning they received.

    I sprayed all eight tires and was impressed at the thick foaming action and the fact that it did not run everywhere.

    I agree with Boss that I used more of the product than I expected to use, but being the first time with a new product, maybe I over applied the product?

    I let the product dwell for 30 seconds and rinsed. The summer tires cames out incredible and looked very close to a new natural tire. No scrubbing needed, they looked super and clean. It was amazing to see the dirt and oils etc. just run off the tires without effort.

    I sprayed one winter tire only to see the result and while it did a very good job, I was going to have to scrub to get them super clean!

    No problems....As I said..they were nasty. So I used the new Versa Angle Tire Brush (Excellent Tool) and scrubbed with light to moderate pressure. I rinsed again and they came out beautiful and new natural looking as well. Really super job with the cleaner and brush in combination.

    I think for the overall price, this is a justifiable product that will perform well for the enthusiast! Just be sure to read the pre-cautions and you will enjoy excellent results.

      Like the write up... been waiting to see what others think. I have yet to try it but it sounds like it might be a good prep for Endurance. Can't wait to give it a try.

          The precautions are for the user! Be careful not to get it into you eyes and keep it off your skin. Wheel cleaners are notoriously "strong" chemical cleaners. It is advise to heed... with all detailing products.
