Just curious to know what product you like to use for cleaning your wheels and if you use tire shine which one also?

I like eagle one foaming wheel/tire cleaner as a good all in one. I have a meguiars professional line non-acid wheel cleaner that works fucking wonders. Garden hose after that stuffs on the wheel for 10s and they're like brand new.

As for tire shine, I like eagle one tire gel. Doesn't sling, and lasts a long time.

as of rigth now I am stuck on Armor All Triple Action Wheel Cleaner, I like to use Black Magic Tire Wet due to its super shine like no other, and when done with those I use Armor All Wheel Protectant which if you haven't used is a must to try, that works wonders.

For cleaner

Eagle 1 A2Z is the best stuff I've used. Meg's hot wheels wasn't to shabby either. But I don't use them often since I keep the wheels waxed now..


Tire Shine. Everything I used that's otc sucked IMO. Too glossy and doesn't leave a dry to touch finish. I'm using Poorboys Bright 'n Bold right now and I'm happy with it. Doesn't attract dirt like gels, water based FTW. Never slings. And gives it that deep black fresh rubber look not the shiny as paint black alot of other stuff does.

ever tried the meguiars product? I think they call it satin or matte tire shine? If you apply it once, it gives you the look you're looking for, and if you apply it again it'll shine a bit. That stuff was the shizzy.

x2 for A2Z wheel cleaner. It even cleans my pitted, corroded rims up pretty well. LOL

I use Eagle One tire shine. I like the shine, but it tends to sling a little (at least on my car).

that bleach white is designed for white walls, but cleans any and all crap off the tires. When I did my own car, Id use that then the the megs gel. Sarah does my car now and I have no clue what she uses, but damn near everything in her inventory is imported
