Simple green for cleaning wheels and tires

Simple Green and Amazing Rolloff

I use 50/50 simple green concentrate and water mist on wheels and tires and then mist on Amazing Rolloff, let sit for a minute, aggitate and rinse thoroughly. This combo has cleaned almost anything and everything I have tried it on, wheels, tires, engines, etc.
 
Hey guys, you are mentioning about the SG doing damage, what would it damage? how does it affect aluminum? Good on clear coated wheels or not?

SG in it's concentrated form is very corrosive to aluminum, and, if left on paint long enough (including clearcoated wheels) can also damage the paint and/or clear.

I've seen SG stain and oxidize unclearcoated aluminum in a matter of a few minutes... (learned the hard way!!!):cursing::cursing::cursing:

Even diluted, I wouldn't use it unless you use the "Simple Green Automotive" formula, which obviously is made for cars/trucks.:)
 
P21 Wheel Gel Cleaner is what I use, I just stay away from Simple Green for the fact that it's corrosive to metals and I don't want problems from it.

I used to use SG all the time. But it is SO STRONG! I would have to dilute it so much, there was barely any cleaning power left!

I started using Purple Power (Advance Auto Parts)... 5 bucks a gallon, dilute 50/50 with water and it won't hurt aluminum.

It is also excellent for cleaning pads, microfibers, etc. I keep a gallon right next to the washing machine also.:D
