- I'm always looking for the BEST product out there. In this case, I'm in search of the best way to clean tires... in preparation for tire dressing. Auto Fanatic recently suggested Mineral Spirits in one of his videos, so I had to give them a try -- up against two degreasers and a dedicated wheel/tire cleaner from Eagle One. What do you think of the results?

I don’t know how to respond to this video. I understand what you’re trying to do but the method is so very flawed. You “rubbed/agitated” the mineral spirits and just half a$$ed the application of the other 3 products. Put all products in a real spray bottle and then repeat the test to determine a winner. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate your effort but don’t agree with your process.
+Chris Hayes I hear ya. I just figured with straight degreaser on a tire I cleaned a week ago that I might be okay with that method. I think what blew my mind was mineral spirits. Maybe for the “best” clean...I’ll use an APC/degreaser on tires first and agitate/rinse - then use mineral spirits as a final wipe down
I like the news style captions you have on the video.
cool man, I'm just trying different stuff...thanks for the feedback!
Same. #worstfoamerever? 🤣🤣
EXCELLENT demo. Thanks! I'm using mineral spirits today.
I use the mineral spirits,, just at the end to "test" the tire to make sure it's absolutely clean before putting on whatever Tire coating.
I use eagle one on a different sprayer and works great 👍🏼
+Ralda’s Details really? So just not foaming? On rims and tires or just tires
Same you are using on this video I just use a regular sprayer no foaming and works really good try it 👍🏼👍🏼
Great vid man! I like the iK foamer sprayer if you’re looking for a replacement for your air gun foamer. I’ve used it for traffic film pre treatment and it’s awesome on engine bays and tires too. Just uses lots of product 👎🏻
+Ben Runkel yeah brotha I feel like foaming does use more product but I still love it...I have an ik foamer sitting around that I need to start using again:)
is Meguiars DRTU14332 Non Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner any. good ?
Superclean aerosal is my fav 😁 it just gets expensive after a while :( using purple power straight to test it out eh its ok.
dude super clean aerosol is amazing. I used up a whole bottle the first time and was like....it's so fun to use and works so well but that was expensive lol
@@HawkProDetailing yeah man! I don't see it in my world yet.. Been doing this 1.5 and most of not all my customers are friends and family cars so i charge Cheap. 150$ all in one polishes WITH full interior. Can't wait until I get more strangers that pay hundreds on top of hundreds ive had a few now :)
That foamer is absolute junk, but I think you over filled it.
Super clean works great! Worth comparing also.
Good vid
+Minister of Fresh I think I’m going back to super clean exclusively. Cheapest by far and works very powerfully 💪 lol if that’s a word
@@HawkProDetailing yeh I am comparing super clean to optimum power clean right now 👍
@@HawkProDetailing added you to instagram 👍
I use Gworks Elite Auto non acid tire and wheel cleaner. Stuff is amazing. I have used the lacquer thinner for really trashed tires as well. Tires will hold its shine better. Thanks for the video
never heard of that stuff -im gonna look it up. I'm wondering if degreaser, scrub then mineral spirits would be the "best" deep clean for tires.
@@HawkProDetailing I found out its all in the agittation unless your using a good powerwasher then let that agitate for you. The drillbrush with the flat brush attachment will work fast and you get a deep clean on your tires. Being mobile you got to find what works fast and good as well.
@@majesticautospa2014 amen to that.
LAs totally awesome, brush and washed with a hotsy. Best
They look decent to begin with. I just did the inside of a set of tires that never been dressed or cleaned from new, and the tire bloom was awful, and it took me numerous passes with a citrus based degreaser that’s stringer than my usual degreaser. I would love to see these tests on a seriously brown tire.
OMS should only be used when prepping a tire for a new dressing and only that, so unless you're switching tire drrssing like every week there is no need to use mineral spirits every time.
+Swagura Mutsuki fair enough - I appreciate the info🤓
like to see a video for wheels, safest product for ALL wheels but spray on hose off TOUCHLESS
+215DETAILING 215DETAILING auto fanatic says his product works like that. Maybe I should review it🤓
nice vid my man...there are tons of things you can use to clean a tire....rather than mineral spirits...you can use acetone...or dishwashing detergent...or laquer thinner....or...then again, just scrub that bad boy....
and....when all else fails.........SUPER CLEAN and a brush
+Dan Parker yeah that’s true! I just wanted to see what the degreasers did with no agitation. And what’s interesting to me is tire shines typically cover up any “browning” anyway
But wouldn’t the mineral one wear out the tire use after use?
that's a great question. Auto Fanatic seems to suggest using it when you're switching tire dressings. I'm definitely going to do more research on mineral spirits to see what the long term consequence of using it on tires is
Hawk Pro Detailing awesome. And also I’ve seen the this same product but the klean strip Green version of this mineral spirit. Can you do a side by side of this one vs the green version
What's your opinion on p&s brake buster for a wheel and tire combo with ceramic coated rims ?
Fantastic option especially if you clean them often
The browning that you see in the tires that were cleaned with heavy degreaser is not dirt that is on the surface. The degreasers are so strong that they are bringing out the natural antiozonites inside the rubber that are meant to protect it. But yes mineral spirits is a good option but not something you should use on the regular as its very bad for rubber, good for removing silicone tire shines tho
usually anything that cleans super well...can also be damaging. well this is good to know! I think the best takeaway here is you can use mineral spirits to remove silicon tire shine, but stick to a less aggressive process otherwise.
This. I think Luke from Wilson Auto Detail talks a lot about antiozonites in his videos on tire cleaning. I still want to do more research for myself on it, but it seems like he’s on to something...
I have used many tire cleaners and mothers back to black is hands dow the best. The trigger sucks and it is expensive and they don't sell it by the gallon. Follow the directions and u will shit/be surprised, I was.
Back to black as a tire cleaner?!
You still use tire shine??😖
NANO SKIN NON ACID by far the best out there
really. I have heard about their clay towels/mitts but haven't tried any of their other products? Do you use that on tires and rims?
Your going to have to scrub
+Kenny Weaver I know right. That’s really the only way. I just thought...straight degreaser....maybe a no scrub method would work
This guy is a clown
Agreed!
@@HawkProDetailing haters gonns hate 🙄
