Wheel Wells, Rims and Tires Rims, wheel wells and tires make a bold statement for the appearance of the vehicle, do you know how to properly detail these key components? Would you like to learn?

Default Amazing Roll Off ??

I have seen some people use this on tires,wheels and engines and wanted to know if I need to cut it with water or using it straight would be ok?Thanks.

I try cutting it with H2O and didn't work too well, i always use it full strength. Hope this helps.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone make that correlation.

I always use ARO straight and only on the tires, for the engine bays I use P21S Total Auto Wash.

I've never tried ARO on engine bays though let alone dilutd with water.

Never diluted and only on the tires. Great product!

mix it with cheap car wash soap, at a 2:1 ratio or 3:1 ratio and it'll foam and stay on the tires if you want to scrub the tires with a brush.

I tried this on an engine, worked pretty well.

I hadnt heard that either..but ARO can be an effective wheel cleaner that is decently safe, whereas Westley's is by no means safe on wheels, in fact avoid contact with wheels..i dont think they are the same product....and per your question..full strength...they have some marketing about how it is activated by water or something, i dont buy into it i just feel it doesnt clean very well when diluted

When I used ARO on the lightswitch at the top of my basement stairs (it sees all the grime from working on the car/yard, etc.) spraying it with water first helped a lot. The crud came off with a swipe.

Wesley's is NOT the same as ARO by any means.
