I was thinking of getting a stronger soap as a cheaper option to clean wheels. The spray on ones, while effective, work out to be quite expensive as they don't last very long. Would lift or snow+ be able to perform this double duty?
Thanks again for your great advice.

Sorry, I abbreviated prep spray as IPA, mainly because most of them are IPA based. Yes, NV Clarify will work just fine, in this case you are using it a final wipe over before applying the layer of protection.............be generous with the product too.
And 100%, a higher alkaline car wash soap can be used as a wheel cleaner. In fact, its probably nicer overall to work with. I actually use soap far more often than wheel cleaner on my cars, and that's a pH neutral soap too. Considering you actually
drive (
) your cars, then using the alkaline soap would be more appropriate for you.
While Carpro don't freely advertise the pH value of Lift, I tested it at 12.3...............
NV suggest Snow+ is valued at 8.1 but I tested 12.05..............
That sort of plays out in real world as I find Lift is slightly more aggressive than Snow+.
