Default Wheel & Tire Cleaner

I picked up a bottle of Turtle Wax Spray Foam Wheel & Tire Cleaner at the O'Reilly's auto parts store near me. This is probably the best cleaner I've used to-date that gets the tire & wheel really clean. So far I've used it on the Crossfire's wheels 1x. What I like is it also gets the MGP caliper covers really clean due to its ability to "cling" to the surface. Wheels came out looking really great with minimal scrubbing required; essentially followed the instructions on the bottle & really only required rinsing the product & dirt off with a garden hose. I've also used the product on the chrome wheels on my 2006 F-150 and the wife's 2016 VW Beetle Dune which has factory alloys. Every vehicle came out looking really sharp.

Took time today to clean the tires & wheels on my 2007 Coupe. Used a bottle of Turtle Wax Hybrid Wheel Cleaner & Tire Prep. I don't like the product vs. The Wheel & Tire Cleaner we discussed above. Not safe on all types of wheels due the ingredients being different! Going back to the product in the green bottle. So far only found it on the Turtle Wax website for $8 per bottle. I went to 3 Auto Parts stores and the green bottle of Turtle Wax Wheel & Tire Cleaner was not stocked by any of them. Haven't checked Walmart yet but will on our next trip there.

Here's link to the new Hybrid Wheel Cleaner & Tire Prep I got from Amazon:
