what is a good tire cleaner....for those tires that are caked on and stained with dirt....my scrubber and car wash soap doesnt cut it.....



and is there another wheel cleaner like megs wheel brightener....or is that one of the best....
 
Eagle One All-Wheel and Tire Cleaner (formerly A2Z) is pretty good for both wheels and tires. Another tire cleaner that seems pretty good, although I've only used it once, is Hi-Temp's Tire Cleaner available from Top Of The Line. As far as acid wheel cleaners like Meg's Wheel Brightener, there are plenty, if you want to use an acid.
 
yeah I have no problem using the acid types on wheels that I can....



but what about a specific tire only cleaner....i dont want a two in one, one steps are so so, but dedicated products work the best...

Meguiar's Super Degreaser works well with a little elbow grease added. It's pretty economical as well.

on tires????? i have a gallon of that....ill try it out before buying something else...but if that doesnt work how I want, what else??
 
I like Castrol super clean degreaser or Simple Green, both diluted. They may however, damage some rims so be carefull

I've used Super Degreaser on really nasty wheels and tires (usually just ugly steelies or beat up wheels, not nice wheels). It works well cleaning the tires. Its not something to use all the time obviously, but to get the intial clean, it works well. Its probably not a great idea to use it repeatedly on the same tire, but I have no problem using pretty strong chemicals on things once, just to get them really clean, then maintaining them with something a bit safer.
 
Timely thread as I just did a little experiment with TOL tire cleaner (diluted 50/50) and EO Tire and Wheel cleaner today. Both worked very well, but the one thing I noticed about the EO is that it tends to leave the tires a slight shade of brown after it is rinsed and dried. The TOL left it more black.



I thought it may have been differences in the tires, but I did the same tire half and half, and the EO side was definitely more brown. Once the dressing was applied, the brownish color went away- but all the same, I'm going to stick with the TOL.
 
When I posted, my tiny little mind took in "extremely dirty" tires. For normal cleaning I use either Meguiar's APC or Safe Degreaser and they both work well. Again, both are economical.

Wesley's Bleche White....Game Over!!

I haven't used many tire cleaners but I do like Mother's rubber cleaner. I always find it necessary to go over the tire with a towel after I've scrubbed and rinsed them.
 
I've been on a quest for the perfect tire cleaner for quite a while and the best I've found to date, for all aspects, cleaning and price, is the Hi-Temp tire cleaner from Top of the Line.

Setec Astronomy referenced it also, and he's one smart fella'. It removes brown ooooze other cleaners can't even touch.

I second Eagle One's All wheel and tire. it is strong, I cut it 1:1 and still leaves my tires squeaky clean.



Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner at 3:1 works for tires, wheels and fender wells. ( still not as strong as EO's all wheel & tire cleaner)

Whats the deal with this product? does it actually contain bleach. If so, is prolong usage of this product on rubber advisable or every once in a while.
 
Don't know if Wesleys actually contains bleach, but I've been using it on my tires for 15 years - every week - and have never had a problem. Nothing cleans white letter tires better and it's just as good on black walls.

Hi-Temp tire cleaner from TOL is great. I bought two gallons of it for just $25, and it dilutes 1:1. Removes crap from the tire that you had no idea was there.
 
Eagle One Tire Cleaner. This stuff works very good. I picked up about 15 bottles for $1 each when Sears was clearing out their EO stock :)

Eagle One All-Wheel and Tire Cleaner is THE best tire cleaner I have used by far.
