What is your favorite wheel cleaner & tire dressing?

[FrankS]

So many choices on AG site for a beginner. I'm looking for a good wheel cleaner that can be used for all types of wheels and a good tire dressing, and a good method to apply the tire dressing.

I really like opti bond tire gel applyed with a foam block. For cleaning the wheels I use car shampoo and water for light cleaning and then chemical guys diablo wheel gel for heavier cleaning. I fund both to work well and be of good value

+1 for opti-bond. Still playing with wheel cleaners to see what I like.

CG Diablo for the wheels and Tuf Shine tire clearcoat on the rubber.

[Mercedes350]

Opti bond!!!

[k12354]

For lightly soiled wheels: car soap (I prefer Optimum car wash) and a dedicated MF mitt

For wheels with more dirt and brake dust: Megs D103 APC+ (10:1 or 4:1 depending on how filthy - CarPro Trix is on my wish list)

Tires: CarPro PERL undiluted

Anyone like Megs Tire and Trim Gel?

I'm using 303, Perl and CG VRP and while I like all 3, I'm thinking of trying something thicker.

Tuf Shine blows every other tire shine out of the water, period.

Wheel cleaner - Duragloss All Wheel Cleaner.

Tire Dressing - PERL or Tuffshine.

[AeroCleanse]

Wheel cleaner - P21s Wheel Gel

[poweraid]

wheel cleaner - I don't need nothing more than soap and water due to my wheels being opticoated . other vehicles get sonax full effect and IX paste if really neglected , for general cleaning - whatever I got dp cleanse all exterior cleaner - cg diablo - pb spray and rinse

tire dressing - optibond 1:1

Soap and water for my wheels will always do it. Tire dressing is auto finesse satin right now but if you can get clean enough tires then there isn't a better option than tuf

[Infiniti]

I also use opti-bond 1:1 and diablo.

303 leaves the rubber looking new, but natural...I don't like my tires all shiny. For wheels, I leave them for last and use the same soap&water as the rest of the car, with a dedicated brush...On my BMW I'll spray first with Eagle brand (Yes Eagle) wheel cleaner to help with the brake dust. Wheel cleaner is not cheap, and one bottle usually only does 2-3 washes. If I had really nice wheels, I might choose more carefully
