Looking for a new Wheel / Tire cleaner to try out.

I have been using BROWN ROYAL for years one of the better products, I can spray wheel well, wheel and tires on all four come back MOST times and just hit with pressure washer (No scrubbing)

How does Brown Royal work on tires vs a degreaser like Meg's Super Degreaser?
 
I use Smartwax Rim Wax, it's made by CG and I've heard it's just the CG rim cleaner relabeled. All I know is it works wonderfully. I used CG Citrus Wash & Gloss + this and the results were fantastic. I'd bet Diablo + this would be even better. It's all AIO so technically you don't need to use a separate cleaner. But I like to hit my rims with soap and my ferret brush.
 
Zep HD citrus for rims, zep 505 for tires. Works amazing! Find it at home depot right next to folex. :)

Wheel cleaners are expensive --- believe me I understand. Others use the two you mentioned and that's fine for them, but you will never catch me using them on customers cars. I have enough to worry about, I don't need to worry about cooking someones wheels or myself.

What do you use?

Just as a CAUTION it states on label ZEP not to be used on auto paint, (overspray) and some form of paint may be on rims

GOOD POINTS, they claim SAFE FOR ALL WHEELS:

Sonax Full Effect is great fr wheels and wells and Muc-Off wheel wash is one of my favorite all wheel type tire and wheel cleaners. Both have a long, safe dwell time for heavy cleaning. LA's Totally Awesome is another cheap option that can be diluted for most finishes but should be used with caution on bare alloys, and your skin.

That's a big bucket of Brown Royal! I need to get some more as my gallon is just about gone.

Brown Royal can be used as a degreaser. It works well in that role, and despite being branded as a wheel cleaner it is sort of a jack of all trades product that can even be used on paint. Like 215Detailing, I usually hit the wheels, tires and wheel wells with Brown Royal and then blast it off with a pressure washer.
 
I agree that wheel bright is a fantastic product but should not be used on bare aluminum wheels or on hot wheels or hot brake components. If you clean your wheels really well with a good cleaner one time you should only have to use soap and water if you wash on a regular basis but if you have brake dust problems that can be solved by a wheel coating or even armor all wheel protectant
