    Megs D143 wheel & tire cleaner

    Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner D-14301

    Got a gallon for the weekend. This will be mostly for tires. Heard good things about it, and buying 16oz bottles of tire cleaner can get expensive! Question, for tires is 1:1 dulition ok? If not what should it be used at?

    Thanks!

    Got the matching bottle also.

    It all depends on the condition of the tires/wheels. If they`re really dirty, I would use full strength, if you`re just maintaining the tires every week, then the 1:1 dilution will work.

    It depends on how dirty the tires are. Start at 2:1. Works well for me as I regularly clean my tires. It works very well as a wheel cleaner as well.

    3:1 has worked great on my maintained wheels and tires. I`ve never needed anything stronger.

    I also use it at 2:1 and find it cleans both tires and wheels surprisingly well at this ratio. I really like this cleaner and its primarily what I use on all of my maintenance washes.

    Any chance you can post pictures of the wheels before-and-after?? Also, how does this wheel cleaner compare to OTC Eagle One A-to-Z All-wheel Cleaner? You are correct: spending a lot of money on small bottles of OTC wheel cleaner over the course of a few years versus buying in a gallon that is that can be diluted has got to be more cost-effective.

    Re: Megs D143 wheel & tire cleaner

    It was my goto cleaner for awhile for wheels and tires but I found that those really nasty tires just wouldn`t come clean at all using it. I had a couple experiences with some greasy tire dressings that the stuff just wouldn`t touch. Megs endurance tire gel being one of them. It wont remove that stuff at all. Ended up using bleche wite to remove the dressing and get them clean.
