    I really like Merlin's Magic Elix, and i'm wondering if there is a good waterless wheel and tire cleaner that is out there.

    Wish I could help ya. Nothing that I know of specifically for cleaning wheels waterlessly.
    I would probably use a higher concentration of the ech20 in your mix

    I imagine for the wheels you can use the same waterless cleaner that a few manufacturers make for paint. But as for the tires, I don’t see anyway to clean them without water. Maybe a stiff brush if you don’t use tire dressing.
