If so which one?
For example cg grime reaper (heavy duty wheel cleaner / extreme apc / degreaser ) you know cg marketing lol

And what results are you getting / are you not worried the apc isn't supplying high lubricity to deter swirling etc
 
Don't use Grime Reaper on wheels. It shouldn't be used on paint. I'm not sure if its acidic or basic, but its one or the other.
 
How about P21S Total Car Wash? I think it can be diluted and is safe for wheels.
 
I use Simple Green ProHD as my APC. Even used it on some bare aluminum recently and no adverse effect. I use it on wheels that aren't too dirty and don't need a lot of dwell time or scrubbing. But maybe I'll try it soon at 4:1 and see how long it can dwell before drying. At about $14/gallon it is the most economic APC I have found and as safe as OPC and just as effective.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using AG Online
 
I use apc for wheel cleaning if wheels aren't too dirty. If they are really bad I use Sonax wheel cleaner.
 
megs apc+ here. use it on the wheels & tires. i have it in the pump chemical resistant sprayer.

Same here, thankfully Ive only run into one set of wheels that were hammered and that this couldnt handle. Need to pick up some Sonax for those jobs.
 
i use APC+ diluted 5-1 on wheels/tires/fender liners. No issues so far!

Tires

Is SIMPLE GREEN ok to use on cleaning wheels? I normally just use soap and water, but I would like to try SG. Thanks for advice:)
 
Wheels I use diablo wheel gel by chemicalmguys.

Tires I use all clean+ citrus by chemical guys also, and it dilutes 10 to 1 for exterior use and works efficiently. Good bang for the buck.

I don't care for allclean+ on tires @ 10:1 gives me a lot more work, mothers wheel and tire cleaner is phenomenal on tires I do have some tuf f shine tire cleaner I can't wait to test out, especially since they're selling their tire cleaner in a 1:1 concentrate now -- might end up replacing the mothers that I buy by the gallon

Bobby, does super degreaser work better than megs apc? I've had issues with megs apc+ not taking off all the grime on tires.

I will have to check out the mothers when the all clean+ citrus runs out.
 
I've used my BF APC, but only on really dirty wheels. Made sure to wax or seal them once I was done.
