tires and wheels

Opti-Bond Tire Gel is a fantastic product. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

My absolute favorite!

For over the counter I say go with Stoner's More Shine or Armor All Tire Foam both can be found @ Wally's World (Walmart) for under $4 last time I checked. One can will usually do an entire engine detail and all four tires or eight tires total!

For a Tire Spray, I use --> Stoners More Shine Less Time. I just tried it a few weeks ago. It's so quick and easy as it's an aerosol spray versus a pump so you just hold down the nozzle in one go and spray around and it's easy to control. You just spray and walk away as it says. This stuff is nice and cheap too.

+1. More Shine is really easy. Just spray it on and walk away. It takes a little while for it to dry. I have not had any problems with sling. It leaves a high gloss look. My wife likes it a lot on her CR-V.

I use cardboard or a magazine as a shield to prevent overspray from getting on the paint, but the aerosol spray is pretty well directed and I have not had a problem with overspray.

You can also use More Shine to dress your wheel wells.

(I prefer a matte look on my S2K: Mother's Reflections Tire Care is my favorite low gloss tire dressing.)

for really glossy tires ... use the gels (Pinnacle, Wolfgang) or Poorboys Bright/Bold.
