I dilute degreasers 4-1 unless I know I can use it full strength. I have degreasers that I use for other items. I priced tire cleaners and just thought what advantage does these products have over degreasers or all purpose cleaners outside of getting the tire shiny
This might be miscommunication on my part. I use diluted Zep Orange degreaser for my wheels and it works great. I meant harsh degreasers or avidic based degreasers. As these have their place for tires/wheels that have been neglected I think either a diluted degreaser or car wash soap should suffice.
