Checking off a box on getting my car detailed and wanted to get the black rubber back on the tires. I've been using 303 after washing to get them black, but never focused on truly removing the brown bloom. I tried using a concentrated Dawn dish soap last night and it just seemed to remove the old 303 and showed more brown. Did a bit of research and Adam's seemed to get high reviews and has a decent price at Walmart. I did two rounds. The first was impressive with the amount of the brown that was coming off. The second was much less, but still removed more. I used a nylon bristle brush and scrubbed away. It seems to evaporate fairly quickly so speed is necessary. It washes off with a good spray. I'll put the 303 on after I do the final thing which is putting a ceramic coating on the wheels after doing the car. Here are the before (which is after the Dawn try) and after.
Adam's Tire and Wheel Cleaner - works!

It seems that your wheels are now a different color. Nice job.
I tried this stuff and I'll never go back to anything else. It's not the cheapest stuff, but you use a lot less, and I spend a lot less time on my knees cleaning wheels. And they look better as well.

I’ve had similar results with the Turtle Wax wheel and tire cleaner.
I had very good to excellent results from using Dawn Platinum dish soap and a stiff tire brush cleaning tires/rubber, but I clean them off car before seasonal tire change. If there is considerable amount of drake dust/crud on wheels then Throttle Body cleaner makes it come off with little scrubbing without damaging clear coat. Then when wheels are on the car I spray No Touch Tire Care foam on rubber and let it go away on its own (15 mins), leaves nice semi gloss clean look, tires look brand new like showroom new.
Just used it now...1 down one to go. Adams is good stuff. My supervisor also approves as you can see...she can't take her eyes off that shine.
