Honestly, that sounds like the dream lol.
My buddy lives in Arizona, and he doesn’t even bother to wash his wheels/tires because within like half a day they’re covered in dust again.

I see what you did there... [work them wells, but I’ll be damned if I clean them]! Lol.
You’re a bold man. Very bold indeed... Sigh. Lol.

That's why I stopped tire shine, it's the same in the Mojave desert where I'm at. They just turned into dirt magnets.
Funny though I bought new tires and have never shines them and they stay much cleaner with just a normal wash then any tire I've ever shined. Months have gone by and they never browned yet either

For a little while this summer I actually left my tires undressed for awhile, just cleaned them every couple of weeks - and I gotta say I really didn’t mind it. I preferred it over constantly slathering tire dressing on each and every week.
It’s what got me interested in trying out something like tuff shine tire cleaner, M37 tire and rubber rejuvenator, or any of the other of those fancy dedicated rubber cleaners. If they could leave my tire truly black I’d be totally fine not dressing them. D143, super clean, power clean - though this one does it less so, tend to leave them kind of brownish after scrubbing and drying.
I think I’m just either going to have to coat them, or clean them and leave them undressed.

I predict “cleaner/coatings” or “cleaner/ AIOs” are the new trend for the future.
Man I hope so. This falls in line with what you've posted about doing *something* to the paint annually or twice a year.
I'll occasionally see a friend's car that gets lightly polished with an AIO every spring. I don't know which AIO exactly but I'm sure it's something decent. Wash, clay, and AIO that's it. Nothing but a simple spray wax as the sole LSP reapplied every handful of washes. Vehicle gets washed properly. If I'm being entirely honest it looked every bit as good as mine did with x layers of whatever products. Maybe it didn't have 150 degree water beading but it did look shiny when dry

If you say you don’t wash, then what’s the dealio?
Exactly. I don't see paint...I see muddy wheel wells.

I love what he is doing. Catering to what his location wants at a price they will obviously pay
He’s cutting out all the work people don’t like (interiors, washing, wheels, etc) just a buff and protect service. Brilliant man

Re: Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$
It's working and working great. Have a few other things in the works that I'm looking at but it's to make the overall more "exclusive".. that's not the word I'm looking for but close. "I" still won't be doing washes but I'm working on a few options for those cases.

Re: Entry level combo that's made me a ton of $$$
Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a quicker, but lasting method for my cars. This looks to be a strong possibility. I can't wait to try this combination out in the spring. In the past I always would polish before PNS. I like this idea better, adds some more protection and will save time without having to wipe off the Essence Plus.
