ARMOUR Detail Supply Tire Cleaner is a heavy duty foaming cleaner and degreaser for rubber and plastic. It targets tyre blooming, dirt, grime and old tyre dressings, leaving the rubber clean and ready for a fresh dressing. It is available as a 473ml ready-to-use option and a 3.8L concentrate, with the concentrate diluted to the strength required for the job.

Surface caution. Tire Cleaner is safe on rubber, plastic and painted surfaces. Keep it away from raw uncoated aluminium and from sensitive leather and vinyl. Work on a cool surface out of direct sunlight and do not let it dry on the panel.
Tyre rubber contains antiozonants, which are additives that stop the rubber cracking as it flexes. Those additives migrate to the surface over time and oxidise, which is the brown film detailers call blooming or browning. A dressing applied over that film sits on contamination rather than rubber, so it looks patchy and sheds in the first wash.
A heavy duty cleaner like this one helps lift the film and old dressing together. The foam can pick up colour as it works, showing that contamination is being removed. Once the rubber has been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, it is ready for a fresh dressing or tyre sealant.
Ratios are water to product. At 4:1 that is four parts water to one part concentrate, so a 3.8L bottle makes 19L of usable cleaner.
| Ratio | Strength | What for | Yield from 3.8L |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Extreme duty | Neglected tyres, heavy build up. Proceed with caution and test first | 7.6L |
| 2:1 | Heavy | Heavy tyre cleaning, engine bay and undercarriage degreasing | 11.4L |
| 4:1 | Maintenance | Maintenance tyre and wheel cleaning, engine bays, wheel wells, rubber and plastic mats | 19L |
| 1. Cool the surface | Work out of direct sunlight on a cool tyre. Heat makes the product flash off before it has done anything.Rinse the wheel and tyre first if the car has just been driven. |
| 2. Spray liberally | Cover the whole sidewall. Tyres are thirsty, so do not be shy with coverage. |
| 3. Dwell about 30 seconds | Let the foam work. Do not let it dry on the surface. |
| 4. Agitate | Scrub with a stiff tyre brush. The foam should turn brown as the film and old dressing lift. |
| 5. Flush thoroughly | Rinse with plenty of water, including the wheel face and the arch. |
| 6. Repeat until the foam stays white | If the foam continues to turn brown, there is still contamination or old dressing being lifted. Neglected tyres may need two or three passes.Let the rubber dry before dressing. |
Order of work. Wheels and tyres come first in a wash, before the paint, so the dirtiest water and any overspray are rinsed away rather than dragged across clean panels. Dress the tyres last, once the rubber is dry.

"An absolute banger of a product. Super high performing that extracts dirt and grease like no other. With little to no dwell time I watched the browning extract from the rubber. Agitating with a Detail Factory tyre brush produced lush foam making the tyre a deep rich clean black colour. Definitely one to add to your wheel cleaning kit!"
"This was a long time coming for me to purchase the ADS tire cleaner. Straight away I loved the sprayer. Cleans away any dirt or grime on the tires. Cleans the rubber tire super clean."
"I actually thought my tyres were pretty clean and looked good after breakbuster each week or two. I tested a spot with this and learnt there was plenty of brown to come out of my tyres still. They look amazing now after using this and dressing with the og garage tyre dressing"
