APC to Clean Wheels & Tires

[SR77]

Does anyone use an APC to clean their wheels and tires instead of a dedicated wheel &/or tire product. If so, what dilution is safe to use on all rims and also on the tires so they don`t brown from being to harsh. I generally use either Purple Power or Orange Blast for an APC. thanks

APC`s generally do not work as well as a wheel cleaner. The main reason is, APC`s are high ph, and wheel cleaners are usually a lower (acidic) ph. The soiling on wheels usually responds better to a product with an acidic ph.

I use APC as a wheel cleaner. Most of the time it is Greased LIghtning Citrus.



For wheels that are just moderately dirty it works great. You may have to move to a dedicated wheel cleaner for the really neglected wheels.

For general wheel cleaning I use Simple Green 4:1 and it works great. Never used it on really neglected wheels.

I use Meguiar`s APC at 4:1 on my tires. It works great!

P21S Total Auto Wash works outstanding on cleaning wheels.
