I will make this one brief. I left the office farily late today and wife and I took our cars to the local coin operated wash due a freak dust storm.

I cleaned both cars wheels and tires with the Pinnacle APC and applied new Onyx dressing to my wife CRV only.
First I cleaned wheels and tires with the APC for a quick clean. Used my tire brush and carrand brush to clean the barrels.

The APC broke down the brake dust quick, and it made cleaning a breeze, and the best part was NO harsh smells!!!
Only issue with my car is that I applied Meguairs Endurance and it’s a pain to remove, I have tried BF APC, Megs APC + and the Signature APC. So sadly I didn’t use the tire dressing on my car. ANY TIPS ON REMOVING THE MEGS ENDURANCE????


Honda CRV

Next I did my wife CRV, running out of daynight, so only took after pics. Here the APC cleaned the tires and rims with ease since the tires had a water based dressing from last detail.
When I applied the dressing I sprayed the tire and spread foam applicator and cleaned excess with MF towel.

This is my favorite tire shine now; it provides a natural new tire sheen that I have been looking for. I will update everyone on durability on this tire shine; also I would like to add that the tires on the CRV are the OEMs that came on it when she bought the CRV in July 2009. The Pinnacle APC and Onyx Tire Dressing is a great combo to get your tire looking new again.


I will continue to buy the APC because it has the cleaning power of the other APC but without the harsh smell and vapors, and love the fact that the tire dressing has the new tire shine.

Back in 1977 I worked for a fire stone dealer, when we got new tires they had a blue or red film over the white wall or lettering. We use to use and I know somebody is going to say dawn is for dishes, but dawn works quite well at cleaning film off of tires. It should work on Meg's tire dressing also. Tires only
