Wise Guy is a high-foaming, non-acid tire and wheel cleaner built to lift road grime and strip old tire dressing in a single pass. The thick foam clings to vertical surfaces so the cleaner has time to actually work before you rinse — no aggressive chemistry, no ten-minute scrub sessions. It's the right call for regular maintenance washes on factory, painted, powder-coated, and chrome wheels that see normal road use — not for caked-on, heavy brake dust.

High-foaming formula: Thick foam clings to tires and wheels for extended dwell time, giving the cleaner room to break down road grime before it gets rinsed away.
Strips old tire dressing: Removes dressing residue and build-up so every detail starts on a clean canvas — perfect prep for Decked Out Tire Dressing.
Non-acid chemistry: Safe on factory, painted, powder-coated, and chrome wheels. Cleans hard without the risk of an aggressive acid-based formula.
Concentrated — dilute 1:1: Cut it with water for the right balance of cleaning power. Running it straight wastes product without cleaning any better.
NOT for anodized or polished aluminum wheels: These finishes need a milder cleaner — see the Detailer Tips below.
AVOID ceramic coated wheels: For coated wheels, use the pH-balanced Cool Guy Wheel Cleaner instead.
How to Use
Tire & Wheel Cleaning
Rinse wheels and tires thoroughly to knock off loose dirt and cool the surface.
Dilute Wise Guy 1:1 with water in a spray bottle.
Spray liberally onto tires and wheels. Let the foam dwell 30–60 seconds — do not let it dry on the surface.
Dry the tire, then apply Decked Out Tire Dressing for a finished look.
Detailer Tips
Work one wheel at a time. The product cleans by dwelling — if it dries on the surface, you've lost the dwell and you'll see streaks.
Always work in the shade on cool wheels. Heat causes flash-drying and can dull certain finishes.
For anodized or polished aluminum, skip Wise Guy and use a pH-neutral cleaner like Cool Guy.
Pair with Decked Out for a complete tire program: strip with Wise Guy, dress with Decked Out.
Pair Wise Guy with the right brushes for the best results — the Tire Tamer on tires, Shine Supply Wheel Brushes on wheels. Good chemistry only works as well as the agitation behind it.

Great product and definitely worth trying A++🛞✨
Using shine supply for the first time was amazing and I won’t ever go to any other company! The products are amazing and being dilatable is a huge plus!
This stuff is powerful! I now use Wise Guy on my wheels and tires for weekly maintenance. It gets rid of the road grime, brake dust and tire dressing without any issue. Side note, I use cool guy once a month or when super soiled from dirt. Wise Guy is great! Can tend to attract itself to your lungs which could be a point to adjust the sprayer. Otherwise, 5 stars
Absolute sledgehammer for tires, I use it for my frequently maintained vehicles on wheels and does a great job for really bad wheels I break out the cool guy but wise guy has really impressed me it does a great job foams really good and cleans great!!
Wise Guy is honestly the best wheel and tire cleaner I’ve ever tried. It removes tough grime and brake dust effortlessly, leaving my wheels looking new every time. I’d recommend it to anyone!
I use wise guy mainly for the tires and as you can see even with soap foamed onto the wheel and tire you can see the browness that wise guy pulls out of the tire creating a clean tire to apply Decked Out!
