Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

[arthuruscg]

If you bring it back, it would likely be a hit if you also offered a Rubber remover spray (tire and cone rubber). The bug and tar doesn't work that well, so people turn to your competitors products.

Hi arthuruscg,

Yes, this product is being phased out. It’s a great and unique offering, but unfortunately, it never quite caught on, even though we kept it around for quite a while. I’ll make sure to document your feedback internally—thank you for sharing it.

At this time, we recommend either our Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax Spray or the Hybrid Ceramic Waterless Wash & Wax. As you probably know, these won’t match the cleaning power specifically needed for heavy wheel and tire grime, but they are commonly used on wheels for lighter cleaning tasks.

Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere - 26 oz.

Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Waterless Wash & Wax - 24 oz.

Has this been discontinued? It's out of stock everywhere? This was my go to wheel and tire cleaner when swapping track side and after autocross at places without water.

How does the wheel cleaning ability differ from UWW&W G3626 or D11501? I'm not after the tire shine but something to give the wheels a quick wipe down after autocross. Most shine products interfer with chalking the sidewalls.

If I water access the Decon D180101 is awesome for getting the iron out of the wheels.

Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire is designed completely differently than G3626 or D115. Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire is designed for wheels, yes, but, even more so, is designed to clean contaminants that a user encounters on wheels, especially brake dust. So that is what makes it much different than Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax (G3626) or D115, what it is designed to clean.

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

Having used this for a few months now I can't help but think if I need to continue using the Ultimate Insane Shine Tire with it... I'm happy with the shine it gives but am wondering if the additional Insane Shine will help with longevity maybe? Is there any huge reason I should continue using both?

I have been doing a weekly session with this on both cars sing the Insane Tire shine and will continue to do so. I have run a test of just the wheel and tire on my wifes car which dosent get used as much as mine and the results speak for themselves in that the added application of Insane shine really helps with the shine and durability. It only takes another few minutes to apply the Insane shine.

I have matte black wheels. If this product leaves a "shine" on tires will it also do the same to my wheels or will it wipe off clean?

Great to hear you are enjoying our Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire! To answer your question regarding whether or not you need to use an additional tire shine product, a dedicated tire shine, like Ultimate Insane Shine, is a more premium tire shine option. In the case of Ultimate Insane Shine, just like you mentioned, yes, more shine, more longevity.

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

It did get picked up, and as you know, different retailer's set up their new item selections at different times

You should begin to see it showing up on brick & motor shelves soon at Walmart and Pep Boys and potentially other regional outlets.

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

I don't see this for sale at Walmart, AutoZone, Advanced Auto, or PepBoys, the only places I see are of course the Meguiar's store, Amazon, and the online detailing stores. Did this not get picked up by the normal brick-and-mortar chain stores so that I could pick it up in my travels?

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

Ohh this is exactly what I was looking for! I waterless wash my car 90% of the time and I never know what to use for the wheels/tires.

Should be no issue following up on the wheels with Xpress wax? If one were to use a canned Foam tire cleaner that would probably be done before this?

[Nick Winn]

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire

So this product will actually clean the wheels/tires and leave a dressed look for the tires? Like a 2 in 1 product ?

Jmyatt,

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. That is exactly the design of this product.

To be more specific, Ultimate Waterless Wheel & Tire does not provide much cleaning for the tires. It cleans wheels in a waterless application, and will leave the tires dressed & shiny.

Um...this one I'm not sure what to think of.

Many of us here at Meguiar's were also skeptical, but it works quite well. Certainly would not want to use your best microfiber towels because they will become very dirty, but it interesting, when going to wash & clean the towels which were used with this product, the cleaners from the product that remain in the towels, actually work to enhance the cleaning ability when in a washing machine.
