It states clear coat safe, so I would assume you can use it on paint to remove stubborn dirt areas?
 
You assume correctly, also clearcoated wheels.
 
It seems rather strong, though I could not offer a specific harm from using ARO. My wife demands it for porch furniture (PVC) -- it literally is spray on and off. First time you use it on tires is wicked, the brown stuff just oozes off ... While I like Powerclean (very versatile APC) it doesnt seem to do what ARO does as efficiently.

I currently have a gallon OPC, but I'm almost done with it. It's VERY good stuff, but I don't really need all the versatility. I use OPC mainly for the exterior: tires, wheel wells, engine degreaser, and stubborn stains on paint. So, if ARO will do a more efficient job than OPC for my uses, ARO is going into the AG shopping cart! :xyxthumbs:

P.S. Who manufactures ARO? I couldn't find a manufacturers website for it. Just wondering...

Is Butyl bad only if you inhale it? I wear a professional 3M respirator when working with chemicals.

The MSDS for Butyl says it is a neuro depressant and is absorbed through the skin, so I'd use nitrile gloves and keep it off your arms, etc.

+1

Gloves are a must when detailing. $15 for a 100pack here. $15 or a helluva lot of pain and suffering later.
 
ARO wasn't very amazing to me. It's very affordable, and gets the job done but I just wasn't very impressed...maybe because people speak so highly of it, I had high expectations. It makes for an effective wheel cleaner but I didn't find it to be anything special for cleaning tires or wheel wells.

Thanks.

What do you find most effective for cleaning tires and wheel wells?
 
P21S Total Wash and Powerclean work but need some agitation.

For many years I have found quite the opposite. Exceptional cleaning on every surface it was used on, usually diluted 50% at that. Even a greasy cruddy engine compartment will clean up in short order. It has exceeded my high expectations for almost a decade.
