Detailing -- Favorite Tire Cleaner?

[dr bob]

Note right up front that this is a question about your favorite tire CLEANER, not at all related to anyone's favorite Tire Dressing or Coating.

Background--

New tires on the front forced me to do some matching wheel cleaning and detailing for the rears on my 928. I've bounced between a few different tire cleaners over the years, with most still leaving a brown film /stain on the rubber even after multiple spray-scrub-rinse cycles. My latest try is Meguiars Non-Acid Wheel and Tire Cleaner, which does a great job on the wheels but still leaves staining on the rubber. I've resorted to multiple scrub and wipes with rubbing alcohol to get more of the brown out, but even that never gets those rubber things to actually clean and natural black.

I'm not at all a fan of the glossy black treatments that many seem to apply. I'm to the point of using a Meguiars aerosol on a dedicated sponge just to even out the color some, but it still isn't a natural black. Looks like a cheap detailer's paint job even with the light indirect coating and follow-up buffing with a towel.

So --

Got a favorite tire/rubber cleaner treatment and protocol that lifts all the brown out? I appreciate your thoughts and experience.

Without doubt my go too (and nothing comes close in my opinion) is YUM undress. This stuff cleans rubber like no other. I always use YUM dress after. This soaks deep into the rubber and can be built up as required. I usually use two applications maximum and it leaves the tyre in a new condition. Nice matte looking and not like the standard glossy wet look.
