8oz. Wheel Wax **Ultimate Protection for Your Wheels** Review

8oz. Wheel Wax **Ultimate Protection for Your Wheels**This stuff doesn't work as they say. MAYBE the wheels have a very slight more shine, but you'd need lab equipment to prove it to me. It does not repeal the brake dust, in fact, I think it makes it worse. I spent about 3 hours removing all 4 wheels, cleaning them, and applying the polish... only to find no benefit. I know this for sure since on one of the wheels I left one spot unwaxed so I could compare. After a week of driving, there is no difference between the waxed and unwaxed part of the wheel. When I went to wash the wheels I hit them with water and the unwaxed part of the wheel was no different from the waxed part. Save your time and money. (My wheels are factory painted which already look great. Maybe bare metal rims might be different, but for my wheels, this product is useless.)

Product Description:
Wheel Wax is the only wax for wheels. It is easy to apply, dries to a haze and buffs to a high shine. Wheel Wax changes the surface polarity of your wheels to repel brake dust particles. Wheel Wax leaves an unbelievably smooth shine on your wheels that brake dust and moisture can't penetrate. This protective coating also makes cleaning your wheels a snap next time you wash your wheels. Don't just clean your wheels, clean and protect them in one step with Wheel Wax!

EZ Detail Brush Review

EZ Detail BrushI just received the brush and have not had a chance to use it as yet. However my initial opinion is that it is well made and seems sturdy. Once I have used it I will update my review.

Click Here to see more reviews about: EZ Detail Brush

Product Description:
I can't even count the number of different types of brushes and methods I tried out to clean the backs of wheels. Wine glass cleaning brushes, so-called spoke brushes that had metal surfaces, towels taped to sticks... the list goes on. I tried everything.
When I first saw the EZ Detail Brush I was skeptical. I had tried other brushes of similar design before, but they weren't without flaw. Bristles were too stiff for me to be comfortable using on expensive wheels, or they were too soft to do any good on dirty ones. Bristles were too long, too short; I swear I was starting to think that I was just being too picky, looking for something that didn't exist or was magically impossible to make. Luckily I was wrong.The EZ Detail Brush is really everything that I had been looking for. The bristles are the right length to reach into hard to reach places, and they are stiff enough to clean tough brake dust and road grime safely. The shaft is flexible to help with cleaning hard to reach or difficult to clean parts like brake calipers, spoke backs, and wheel wells. It is durable, safe to use on all wheel types, and even easy to clean. There are no exposed metal surfaces to damage wheels. My search for a wheel cleaning brush is finally over.

Meguiars #40 Vinyl & Rubber Conditioner, 16 oz Pump SprayI read on several car care forums this stuff is the best.I was skeptical, but it is the truth.Great look, minimal evaporation, and durable over time.The smell is the only subjective variable.. I think it smells like leather, but some might find it annoying - it goes away after a day or so (interior applications).

Voodoo Ride VR7005 HYPD 24 oz. Tire Finish Review

Voodoo Ride VR7005 HYPD 24 oz. Tire FinishIt does give my tires a very nice sheen. It stays brilliant for a few days, then slowly fades away after another week. I consider that very good. Be sure to move your car and rinse your driveway after applying, or else it will leave shiny marks on the asphalt.

Lucky Earth 504 Starter Kit Review

Lucky Earth 504 Starter KitAs a gear-head, I've owned and help build several custom cars in the past.I'm accustomed to taking great care of my car, which includes hand-washing and occasional clay bars.This kit is perfect for that, barring a caveat of which vehicle owners should be aware.

If you own a custom painted car, truck, or motorcycle, this kit has the potential to scratch your paint/top coat.The reason is because the dirt you trap in your cloth gets wiped across the surface of the paint, acting like an abrasive.Most factory baked paint jobs have anti-scratch coatings or properties to them, which makes this point moot.Most custom paints are softer and can scratch very easily.Most of you who own custom cars may already know this, but it is something to consider for the ones who don't.

Other than that, this kit is something I really use and I very much liked the eco-friendly mantra presented by the company.I think the coconut oil in it puts a superb shine on the paint.I would not recommend it for use on an extremely dirty car.It is better suited for moderate to mild use before heading out for the weekend or cruising around.

I would recommend it for anyone who likes to baby their car, truck, or motorcycle.

Eagle One 613687 Keep Clean Wheel Review

Eagle One 613687 Keep Clean WheelI fully cleaned the wheel and sprayed evenly some of this cleaner (I have silver aluminum wheels).
I guess it is supposed to dry into this protective clear layer.
The problem is it hazes up on some spots soon as it dryes and if you spray too much you'll get runs which dry to these ugly white blotches.

The instructions state that you should let it dry for 10 minutes before moving and not touch it and thats what I did but I don't like the final results at all.

Turtle Wax T-159R F21 Foaming Wheel Cleaner, 26 ounces Trigger Review

Turtle Wax T-159R F21 Foaming Wheel Cleaner, 26 ounces TriggerI thought with Turtle Wax's reputation, I could trust a product from them. Sure enough, after I used this cleaner, there was noticeable white haze on my wheels. There's no excuse for any modern cleaner to do this! I assume they test everything at some stage, but when it starts to make wheels hazy, it's back to the drawing board, lads. I noticed I'm not the only customer who has had this problem, so I wish now that I'd read the reviews. The main reason I bought this cleaner is because it was cheap; now I know that's the wrong reason to buy an automotive product. The best cleaner I've used is Dupont's Teflon wheel cleaner, and while it costs a king's ransom compared to this stuff, it's well worth not having the hassle of the dreaded white haze.

Green Earth Technologies 01201 Brake Dust Shield 22 oz Review

Green Earth Technologies 01201 Brake Dust Shield 22 ozthe brake dust shield works well.i haven't seen LESS brake dust so far, but when i wash the wheels the dust comes off A LOT easier than before.very little to no scrubbing, it just wipes right off.i think i read some place there's some sort of magnetic charge or bond that's formed that keeps the brake dust from attaching too deeply/firmly to the wheel, hence the easy wipe off.my guess is my wheels will look nice longer over time if i keep using this stuff.doesn't hurt that it's eco friendly, non-toxic, etc....

Mothers 06824 Tire & Rubber Cleaner - 24 oz Review

Mothers 06824 Tire & Rubber Cleaner - 24 ozIf you have tires that are brown, this cleaner works great to clean off all the old built up gunk on them to make them nice and black again! You can then put on a tire shine product after cleaning them and it will look a lot better than if you put that on a dirty tire. Or, if you don't like the shiny tire look, just leave them clean for a great plain black tire look.

I was using Simple Green before on my tires and there is no comparison; you really need a specialized tire cleaner like this Mothers product. It really did clean off all the brown from my tires from built up tire shine products! Highly recommended product!

Stoner 91086 More Shine Tire Coating water-based - 18 oz. Review

Stoner 91086 More Shine Tire Coating water-based - 18 oz.I've been using Stoner Tire Coating for over 10 years on some classic show cars as well as my daily drivers. I have to admit, I'm a maniac perfectionist when it comes to my cars, and I don't give stellar reviews to too many products. But this is an awesome product that does exactly what it claims. Simply spray on. No need to wipe anything. I've not had any problems with overspray on the wheels or body. Tires look fantastic and the shine holds up for quite a long time (of course, depends on weather (rain, etc.) and how much driving you do). Even more importantly - it does not "fling off" the tire and make a mess on your quarter panels like a lot of other tire dressings. It stays on the tire. I do recommend not spraying it on in your driveway without something to protect the driveway surface around the tire as it will leave a stain on the cement or asphalt. The stain usually go away after several weeks, but meantime you will have these 4 crescent-shaped stains marring your driveway. I usually pull my car into the street and apply the tire dressing there, or simply take a big piece of cardboard, cut out a small piece so it fits around the tire like a "U", and place it on the ground around the tire. Then just spray, remove the cardboard and go to the next tire and do the same. Takes less than a minute to do all 4 tires.

Also Stoner's Vinyl and Plastic coating and glass cleaner is equally impressive. I use all 3 of these products religously on all of my cars. By far the best tire, plastic/vinyl trim and glass cleaners on the market.

Stoner More Shine for Tires - 18 oz. Aerosol Can is now water-based and CARB approved Same effectiveness as the the original More Shine, but with 80% MORE.

More Shine has been used by auto detailers and enthusiasts for more than 30 years. More Shine contains NO surfactants (soaps) or water so it lasts longer on tires and actually REPELS water and waterborne dirt. More Shine is a non-messy, non-greasy, non-drippy product that will NOT cause your tires to turn "brown." It applies on clear and will last for weeks. Not to mention that your wheels and paint will be FREE of harm. Apply one coat for a dull satin finish, two coats for high gloss. In just 15 seconds per tire, get a dark, non-streaky, like-new appearance without messy hands, rags, or rubbing.
