I have for decades done my own tyre changes on family cars. Soap and detergent seemed to contribute to rusting and I could find no local alternative so used rubber grease, but it is expensive. One disadvantge is that it causes old fashioned patches to perish/lift, so not ideal for impecunious souls with old tubes.. (However getting tyres off is the main challenge and so can clean everything after. very little needed for assembly)
Old style heavy walled 19" tyres are no mean challenge.
