So, I am looking for some input on tire cleaning. For the most part, I have been successful spraying some 4:1 APC on the tires, letting it soak for about a minute, then hitting it with an aqua carpet brush on my GG polisher. After this, I follow-up with some APC on a towel and wipe, then I spray it down with water and wipe again with a different towel. I usually end up with a flat black tire.
I had a car the other day that I did the above steps on, and also added my Turtle Wax Tire Cleaner (comes with sealant kit). After doing the above steps 4-5 times, I was still left with a brown tire. Nothing I did could seem to get the brown out. I also power washed the tires. I was left with brown tires and several soiled terry cloth towels. Guessing they just had some heavily embedded dirt or they were cheap tires?
I am looking for some input/tips on general tire cleaning and what possibly went wrong above. I have used APC, Brown Royal, and the Turtle Wax product but can't seem to find a tire specific cleaner that I like. I have always been a huge fan of Meguiar's Vinyl and Rubber Cleaner, but I wouldn't want to use that since I do tire sealant pretty regularly. Any product or workflow recommendations? Thanks.
