ultimate tire and wheel cleaner

[Eric H]

Over in the inbay forum there was a thread about powdered presoaks that got a lot of activity. Based on that thread I am reevaluating my SS chemicals. just this morning I switched to a powdered HP soap (kleen-rite inbay turbo with 2 gal of simoniz foam addative. Looks good but it always takes a few weeks to really get a good impression of a product.
I also noticed that I have about a 2-3 week supply of my tire and wheel cleaner left. Does anyone have a recommendation for a product? My current chemical, Auto Wash Maintenance's Foamy Tire brite, has a nice green color and cleans the tires without burning the rubber. It does a good job of cleaning but I am always looking for better products.

The Kleen White Tire/Wheel Cleaner for $57 a 5 gal pail works well.

I mix Scotch Plaid's Dyna-Pac minty tire cleaner (two 5-gallons) and a 50-lb. box of their Presto Powder in a barrel to make 55 gallons of product. It lasts a couple months and works really well, especially on brake dust. It doesn't have the spectacular show that some other products do (Earl Weiss' video, for example) but it's not bad.

I need to make a video of it removing 15 years of crud off the inside of the wheel with minimal scrubbing.

The Kleen White Tire/Wheel Cleaner for $57 a 5 gal pail works well.

Ditto, if you buy from Kleen Rite during the summer special, it was buy 3 get 1 free with free shipping if you order enough chemicals from them at once.

Get on your favorite online auction site and order some fluorescein. It's a red / orange powder that, in water, makes the fluorescent color like green antifreeze. We added it to our tire cleaner so people could see it vs not seeing it. ( thinking it wasn't being dispensed ).
