I find myself going through 16oz bottles of this stuff quite often. Is there anything equivalent to this product but cheaper or come in a larger size?
I use P21S TAW scrubbed with a Stiff brush and it does the trick. I have also heard of people using Tarminator in the tires to remove greasy dressings. Not sure Tarminator is good for the health of the tires if used on a steady basis. I don't think using it once and a while will kill anything.
It probably isn't over time but for removing petroleum based tire gels that you see so often on cars from the dealership/car wash, nothing works better. I spray it onto a MF and wipe the tire so there's minimal transfer.
Tried Tarminator once and after applying a tire dressing the tires don't look great compared to Rubber Prep. Their are spots that look like no dressing was applied. Chris at eShine told me few months back that it could have a bad effect on the tires after continuous use. I use Autoglym CWC to prep the tires but looks like you could do 5+ rounds and the brown will still be there in the white foam. When I apply Rubber Prep after CWC the tires are back to stock (after a wipe with your finger its clean).
Why wouldn't an APC like APC+ or OPC work? That's what I normally use. If the tires are really bad I may use some full strength and let it dwell for a little while.
