I have been using Bleche White for years and been happy with it but I am almost out and I was wondering if there was anything out there OTC that you think is better?

Bleche White is super strong stuff. Before I knew any better, I used to use it for tire cleaning and the solution would run down onto the rims and it started to peel off the clearcoat of my wife's old Sebring.
 
ARO = Amazing Roll Off. I just use soap and water, maybe a little APC mixed to clean the tires.
 
I use Megs DG and a tire brush. It's a lot less expensive and it seems to work fine. It's a lot of work...but I think it's worth it!!
 
I've been using Megs APC mixed 8:1 for my tire cleaner. It's been taking 2-4 applications, but the tires look GREAT when finished.
 
I use bleche white no problem. $2 something at walmart for spray bottle type (handle). When i run out of this i will be using my APC+ diluted
 
Personally, I don't think Meg's APC+ at 4:1 strength works all that great on tires. The brown stuff don't come oozing out like other cleaners I've used, such as degreasers, EO Wheel/Tire Cleaner, Wesley's Bleche-Wite, etc. I've been using some Sam's Club generic, janatorial-grade degreaser mixed at 4:1 to do tires. Not exactly awesome, but it gets the job done and is cheap for me.



The Eagle One is a great product because not only is it an excellent tire cleaner, but it's also an excellent wheel cleaner. No need for 2 separate products. The only thing I can complain about it is that it doesn't come in gallon size quantity, and I'm one of those that likes to spray wheel cleaners liberally so buying 24 oz bottles isn't economical for me.
 
The bottle says safe for all wheels, but I've only gone through one bottle of it so I don't know the long-term effects.



If it makes you feel any better, I have used it on my Volk Racing LE28N's, which would be pretty expensive to replace, with no adverse affect. I've also used it on OEM wheels from Ford, GM, Saab, and Volvo and I haven't encountered any problems yet.
 
E1 A2Z for over the counter. My Meguiars APC 4:1 doesn't seem to clean as well as the A2Z. I would think if you want to deep clean you might need something stronger than APC such as Meguiars DG, or A2Z.



Here is A2Z in action.

i must be having a brain fart at the moment, but what is Meguiar's DG? all that's going through my head right now is Meguiar's Duragloss, and I KNOW that's not correct!

Degreaser!
 
I've used both ARO and EO A2Z and I believe A2Z does a better job of cleaner the tires more thoroughly. However as BlackElantraGT mentioned, ARO comes out cheaper so I'm still kind of torn at the moment.
