I used to buy CarBrite (Eagle One) "wheel cleaner II". It was the concentrated version of Eagle One A2Z wheel/tire cleaner. It was the best volume (inexpensive) wheel AND tire cleaner I have ever found. The stuff was amazing on all types of wheels and it actually cleaned both tires and wheels, eliminating the need for two separate cleaners. It wasn't caustic either and you could dilute it.



They stopped making it and I'm just about out of my stock!! :wall



What can I buy to replace it? The CarBrite distributor says that nothing is comparable.
 
I use Megs Wheel Brightener. Not sure if it will clean tires but its by far the best wheel cleaner ever. You can buy a 32oz bottle from Auto Detailing Solutions (ADS) For $8.49. And its concentratwed so just dilyte 4:1, i thing its the best deal for a wheel cleaning solution.
 
maybe look to a diffrent manufacture like ardex, 3d, mark v, autoglym all have multiple wheel cleaners you can buy in bulk and dilute.

Remember this is a wheel AND tire cleaner ALL-IN-ONE. This is the concentrated commercial version of the very popular and effective Eagle One A2Z



I'm looking for another all-in-one, not two separate products. This product is very effective on both tires and wheels, thats what makes it unique.
 
I picked up a gallon of the Royal Brown product this week, $30 to my front door.



I've mixed a small bottle at 1:2 and tried it for the first time yesterday. The stuff has tremendous cleaning power on wheels. Quite impressive so far. I've noted that others mix it at 1:3 or 1:4 for routine use.



I noticed that it's cleaning/liberating stuff on the inside of the wheel that my other products leave behind.

The problem with these products is that none of the them except for the Mothers is an all-in-one wheel AND tire cleaner.



The problem with the Mothers is that not only is it expensive, its not able to dilute, but is also says "do not use in direct sunlight". I'm in South Florida. All we have is direct sunlight!!
 
Not sure I follow. Just because it doesn't specify it's a tire cleaner doesn't mean it won't work well on the tires...
 
mini 1, look at 3D's Yellow Degreaser. It's highly diluteable and designed to clean both tires and wheels. I purchased it a while back and it works very well at 10:1 and its very cost effective at only 13.99 per gallon or 39.99 for a five gallon pale.



From 3D: "Yellow Degreaser™ is a highly concentrated degreaser that works excellent on tires, grease marks, and brake dust from tires and wheels. Works fast and effective on white walls. When used as directed, it is safe for all tires, and does not leave any film. Eliminates hard scrubbing. Can be diluted up to 20 to 1.

does it leave a nice shine behind like the autoglym? or just kinda flat like apc?

I need to use it a few times to determine this critical criteria. Following my initial use on two cars, it looks pretty darn good but not quite as glossy as Griot's, Autoglym, P21s, etc. I'll report back in a few weeks.



(Both our cars are (gas) direct injection and they get this real nasty residue that forms on the chrome exhaust tips. It can be challenging to remove. I sprayed a tiny bit of the Royal Brown on these stains and wiped it away like it was nothing. I usually have to resort to more aggressive polishing/cleaning to get rid of this stuff.)

Does this work well? Not super caustic? The shipping cost is the only problem here... it cost more than the product itself.
