A A Extreme Shine (liquid)

This stuff is so good, I got the guy that I buy all my supplies from locally to start using it

A A turns out very good products quantrary to what you might read on the forums

As far as APC, Castrol Power Clean or Purple Power mixed 50/50 are but safe to use. If you have aluminum lugs, they will corode after awhile (4 years or so)

I use Meguiar's APC+ at 10:1 for dirty wheels. I usually seal them with Collinite 845 and then they only need to be washed with soap and water. For tire shine I use Chemical Guys VRP. I love this stuff for tires. One coat for a slight sheen and two coats really make the tires stand out.

DP Tire Gel - no sling like WG and lasts a lot longer, plus less expensive.

Eagle 1 A2Z is still great, but I give the edge to Mothers Foaming All Wheel Cleaner. As for tire dressing, the biggest problem is that most OTC have in fine print - May Stain Plastic. I really like Surf City Garage Beyond Black Tire Pro. I prefer to spray a micro fiber applicator pad then swipe the tire for no mess, drips, or over spray. Maybe check out Mothers VLR. Some Auto Zone stores carry Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line so you could pick up a bottle of M39 to clean tires and M40 to dress them.

both the AA tire shine gel and E1 tire shine gel (used it when it was in the regular silver bottle, and now it's in the enviroshine line in the green bottle) and both worked well. one bottle lasts a long time...

Don't have a foaming sprayer but I do spray, let it sit for about a minute. Then agitate with a brush.
