I'm looking to clean the tires while the car is indoors. i don't want to use the hose or bucket of soapy water(to much of a mess). i do use water-less wash & rinse-less wash on the sheet metal with good results. are those products good to use on tires ? I've always kept those products off of my tires. or is there another product i can spray on & wipe off. still raining outside & I'm looking to get something done. i only wash the car with soap & water maybe once a year. and only do it when I'm going to drive the car when I'm done. so the tires don't get a good scrub down to often. thanks, looking for some suggestions.

I have not tried other options yet but have liked Mothers Black to Black Tire Renew. It is a spray on wipe off tire cleaner. Usually just use leftover rinseless plus some waterless pretreat on the wheels.

+1. Its my new go to during the winter washing in the garage. Just use the cheapest towels you can find and toss them when you're done.
 
looks like back to black is where it's at. price is good also. thanks

For Tires: BLACKFIRE All-In-One Trim & Tire Protectant, tire dressing, tire protectant, whitewall tire cleaner
The Blackfire gets applied directly to a MF applicator and it's just wipe-on / walk away.

For Wheels, given this looks like a garage queen, and doesn't probably see the abuse of a daily driver, you can use a McKees n914 rinseless wash solution in a 32oz spray bottle with black MF Towels. Even if you get some on the garage floor it will dry quickly and not stain, then go over them again with a Quick Detailer for protection.

That's how I handle my garage queen... No buckets, no fuss... :)

Both those will work great!
 
yeah, thanks. wheels are easy enough it's the tires with all their nooks & cranny's. but that's what'll try for the queen.

Good reminder on the towels. They do get nasty. I use my old ones and toss when done too.
 
Combine posts 2 & 3 and you will be all set. I used that combo all winter long in my garage with great results!
