Looking for some recommendations of tire cleaners that won't brown my tires after they dry. The tires are Michelin Premier LTX if that would matter.

Right now I'm just using car wash water from the wash bucket and a tuf shine brush. It works ok but I know they can be cleaner. At least with it they don't brown.

thanks!

I personally have the Meguiars non acid wheel and tire cleaner and it does a very good job for myself and my family as we live on a dirt road. I clean them till the foam is white (sometimes it takes three brushings with rinsing in between to get there) and then top the dry tire with Meguiars Hyper Dressing and I think the results are fantastic.

Optimim Power Clean....I've heard of folks using it at full power...the farthest I've had to go is a 3:1 dilution
 
Tuf shine tire cleaner( will will remove all brown by the second iteration, if not after the first).

Follow this up with tuf shine clear coat. This stuff lasts for months. Once this is applied, simply wash your tires with soap and water and your tires will be perfectly black until the clear coat wears away.

If to don't have forearms like popeye,. You can buy a drill brush to initially clean your tires in 1/10 of the time.

You only have to this initial cleaning once as long as you maintain the clear coat protection on the tire.
 
303 Tire and Rubber cleaner and Gyeon have been great for me, also Super Clean aerosol because its OTC and is amazing with its strong, foaming action:dblthumb2:

I was going to post this in my original post but because its mainly for wheels I didn't wanna confuse but its true, SOLID on tires, used it last night in my IK 1.5 foamer and it was awesome! I should also give a thumbs up to Optimum Power Clean aka Alien Kleen and @3:1 your good to go, its THAT strong and effective! There, I've posted 5 products right there!!
 
I like many have used the Tuf Shine products and it really does a great job and a good price. I had Mike Phillips demo the complete Tuf Shine cleaner and then the Tire Coating and was impressed. I bought the kit, best value, and used it mid-February on my two front tires as an experiment. I only clean them with my car wash solution and they stay a nice satin and are easy to keep clean. It does take about 5-cleanings per their instructions so make sure you are sitting as you thoroughly clean those tires. Once coated it works! And yes the tires are still looking good today.

As to using Power Clean it will do great too! I have used a few others not sold at AG and then have stuck with Griot's Garage Tire and Rubber cleaner as my standard and even have tried their newest 'Foaming spray Tire Cleaner'. All work to clean but some of the products to apply afterwards will still brown over time. I would even try the latest from Blackfire for tires. But as stated on Tuf Shine kit the key is getting the tire completely cleaned FIRST!

Everyone is giving good suggestions!

Good to know. I recently found out about Tuff Shine cleaner . I've had amazing result with Griot's Rubber Prep.
Have you had better result with Tuff Shine cleaner ? Is it worth to add it to the arsenal?
 
I'm getting new tires later this Fall and I'll be using TS on them. Probably the best tire cleaner out there

It was one of your posts somewhere in time that got me to buy the Tuf Shine tire cleaner.
It is my no messing around cleaner right now.

In your opinion, how long does the coating last?

I keep my ride clean, so about a month or two. Dirt and brake dust just doesn't stick, I use a waterless wash to clean both wheels and tires. Wheels are coated with Dlux and once every 2 months gets a good cleaning with Hydro2 Foam.
