    Armor All Triple action Wheel Cleaner will clean those effortlessly.
    I've used their wheel cleaner for along time now...great stuff.
    this is it:


    the tire foam just basically shines it up...I've used it before.

    this is the tire shine I put into that bottle

        I use meguiars hot shine spray can. Nothing better. I put it on once a month cause it lasts at least that long. No splatter or anything. My dad uses that gel stuff and looks good just doesn't last that long. I love the look as if someone clear coated your tires.

          that's odd....I always found the opposite...its always the sprays that dont last.
          hmm..wierd.
          the other reason that I personally stick with gels is cuz sprays can leak onto the wheels...ulness you wipe it on or wipe off excess.

            That's been out for years, I used their spray stuff years ago( 6-7 years ago). Didn't really last too long. Currently using Eagle one tirewet. I've had the same bottle for like 3-4 years.

              Well I haven't seen it until now. Advance must have just gotten it in not long ago. I see from their website they also have a full line of car care products.

              That meguiars hot shine shit doesn't last me 2 weeks, if it last that long.

                I use Armor All's Extreme Tire Shine and am fairly happy with it. I put one coat on, let it dry about 20 minutes, then apply a second coat. No splatter, and a clean, even application.

                Nothing's as good as the dealership's industrial-strength stuff, though... I loved working there. I'd put it on in the middle of winter and it'd last at least a month.

                  I need some of that stuff mang!

                  I've been meaning to try Stoner's "More Shine Less Time" stuff...but since its a spray, it kinda turns me off from it...maybe I'll give it a try if its on clearance or something.

                    I think I got the Black Magic tire shine, did the truck tires over two weeks ago and they're still nice and black like I just washed them

                      WTF do dealerships use? I hate that gel crap because it gets all over my hands and it's kind of hard to wash off. So if you are going to use be smart and get a box of latex gloves, cheap:p

                          I've been using the standard Armor-All for years, and apply it with just a regular 3x5 dish sponge. For the wheels though, I use this stuff called Ouater (pronounced "water"). It's this puffy pink shit (looks like fiberglass insulation) that's impregnated with oil. Just tear off a small piece and rub, then buff out! Works great on chrome but the results are REALLY impressive when you use it on something like old aluminum wheels. Read about it in a magazine about 20 years ago and happened to come across a few boxes in a local auto parts store. I don't even know if they make it anymore. Before that I used to use Noxon on chrome. Worked good but NASTY stuff. Think they found it to cause cancer or brain damage or something! Unfortunately, my relatives keep buying me loads of "car care" stuff every holiday. It's always the stuff I never use though.
