The current owner had the tire cleaner running through the foam brush, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Wanted to run it through the high pressure wand

Agreed especially if the tire cleaner concentrate is actually strong enough to clean tires. You don't want any of that on paint. You should already have a low pressure system for mixing and pumping the tire cleaner. You just need to connect it to the high pressure boom manifold above each bay but will need a check valve to prevent the high pressure functions from blowing the tire cleaner lines and solenoid valves. You could also put it on a separate foam gun but keep in mind that unless you are in a warm climate you will need freeze protection for that gun and hose.
