Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner D-14301
So what is the verdict on this wheel & tire cleaner? Might be looking at it for TIRES. I understand it is to be diluted. What ratio are you using for tire cleaning?
Or is DP HIGH INTENSITY APC a better choice here?
DP Hi-Intensity All Purpose Cleaner Plus 128 oz.
I started using D143 a couple of months ago and I really like it. I had been using the Tuff Shine Concentrate on my tires and while it worked great - it was a little on the expensive side for maintenance washes for my business. I use the D143 at a 2:1 ratio (2 parts water, 1 part D143). It really works well for me at this ratio. Sometimes it may take a couple applications to remove all the grime, but it does clean very well. It will definately be my "go to" cleaner from now on unless I intend to use a tire coating. Its good stuff. I can`t speak for the DP cleaner as I have never tried it.
This is my primary tire cleaner. I use it at 2:1 as well with the matching bottle. I have used it as much as 3:1 and it still did a decent job. Took a few more applications but worked pretty well.
2:1 during the summer, 1:1 during the winter here in New England to try and keep rims clean winter is a *((@#^$*^%*&^(@*^)(&*(@#^ @#(*)&()@&.
I like the stuff. I use it at 3:1, it actually cleans the tires better than most APC`s. D143, D140, and Dub wheel cleaner needs to be in everyones detailing closet.
assuming that`s different than the wheel brightener. we use the wheel brightener (brown stuff), only from a different company that Meguiars copied their product from. works very well and is cheaper per gallon. not sure about the 143 though. I would get the WB.
Nanoskin Non-Acid Wheel and Tire cleaner dilutes 4:1... is cheaper per gallon and performs just as good as D143 @ 1:1.
