There are a lot of products, both consumer OTC or professional/detailer in a gallon dedicated to clean wheel, tyres, or wheel wells. Some are even designed to clean effectively on different surfaces. But over here these kind of products are not easily available and not so economical to be used on a long term basic (like weekly use, throughout entire year).
There are local manufacturers here that make their own degreaser and all purpose cleaner. These products are easily available to me and economical. They work and serve the purpose also. So I intended to use it as my routine product.
The puzzle I am having now is, after much thought, I still cannot determine which product (degreaser or all purpose cleaner) are best for the following 3 surface types:
1) Wheel (my wheels are painted, clear coated, alloy wheel)
2) Tyres (rubber)
3) Wheel Wells (mostly plastic, some metal with black antirust coating material on it, all cars are the same I think)
I was using degreaser at 10:1 ratio for all three surfaces previously. It does get the job done. But recently I have been wondering should I switch to all purpose cleaner instead. I am from a tropical country so there is no winter here, it is either sunny or raining. I am not living close to the coast line neither.
So let me summarize, my question is: Which cleaner (degreaser or all purpose cleaner) is more suitable to be used on the wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, and why is that?
I am not asking to use one product for all three surfaces, can be a combination, example degreaser for tyres, APC for wheel and wheel wells, or even a mix of degreaser and APC in a bottle.
If degreaser and all purpose cleaner are really not so effective as a wheel, tyres and wheel wells cleaner, do let me know too, although my options are limited.
