bugs/wheel/tire

Is anyone using the same product for both wheels and bug prep? Is there a product out there that is safe and effective for both?

Currently, I have my bug prep in tank sprayers and my wheel cleaner is applied with low pressure guns. I'd like to get rid of the tank sprayers and be able to use one applicator (the low pressure guns) for both. Anyone have any experience with doing this, or a chemical recommendation?

Thanks.

We are using Lustra Ultraflex BugGoo at 6:1 (I believe) in a bucket stand, sent out to the bays using a FloJet at low pressure.

It's better on bugs than on wheels, but still helps wheels.

Try Simple Green.
We put 1/2 gallon in a 2 gallon pump sprayer. Works good.
For tough wheels 1 gal.

Thank you both. Is the simple green solution safe to put on hot surfaces in the summer? I know most of the designated bug stuff is buffered.

Thanks again.

Yes. We haven't had any issues with it.
We bought a few gallons from Sam's to try.
Just work with the dilution ratios to get what you are looking for.
