8oz. Black Again ~ Includes applicator Review

8oz. Black Again ~ Includes applicatorGreat product! I just renewed the roof rack on my Honda Pilot! My Yamaha Cycle likes it too! However, it lists for $6.95 from most other sources.

Product Description:
Black Again is BACK Again, and better than ever! The Professional Detailers secret weapon for maintaining and beautifying exterior trim has been unavailable since 1999, but thanks to a new company (North American Oil, Co.) and an improved formula Black Again has re-entered the market to the overwhelming satisfaction of enthusiasts everywhere. Long a favorite and considered a 'must have' in every pro's detailing kit, the formula in Black Again was never duplicated, and the loss of the product frustrated any who came to rely on its superior performance.

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.

Stoner 91036 Trim Shine for Vinyl, Plastic and Rubber Protectant - 12 oz.It's the very best spray on stuff I have used for detailing engine compartments. Not sure if it is silicone based, does dry and is anti static and removable with degreasing cleaners or mineral spirits. It will not come off with washing the car or motor with mild detergents. Unfortunately window cleaners wont take it off windows. Makes plastic bumpers look new.Highly recommended

DuPont - Teflon Tire Shine, 22 oz. (TWP2013) Review

DuPont - Teflon Tire Shine, 22 oz.Nice product; best tire finish I've experienced.

Easy to apply liquid formula, non-greasy, and dries to what I would call a "satin sheen" rather than a "shine" (which is exactly what I wanted anyway).

Once applied to my tires, the finish lasted about 2 weeks before reapplication was required. It's a bit like car wax for your tires - it sheds/beads water well, and is not greasy like most other tire shine products (so you don't get any residue on the wheel arches when you take the car for a spin).

Highly recommended.

Features:

Coating will not "sling" off tires while driving - leaves no greasy mess on your car.
Spray on, walk away - no wiping required.
Non-petroleum-based formula helps tires resist browning, drying and cracking.

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.

Turtle Wax T-221 Wet'n Black Tire Gel Review

Turtle Wax T-221 Wet'n Black Tire GelOnce we get others past the "absurd" notion of treating our tires with product then it is very nice to see an advance from the bad old days of Armor All spinning off your spiffy clean & "conditioned" tires all over the wheels, or worse, the finish of the vehicle.

Turtle Wax "Wet -n- Black" is quite a thick gel that is easy to manage and spreads quite well over a large area so you get better bang for buck.

I am a first time user, this evening, so will have to update post as to longevity, etc. but the initial applications went quite smoothly [two are recommended for vehicles like mine that haven't been detailed recently or to obtain SUPER wet & black...], and thus far it is living up to expectations with nice black shiny "wet" wheels, little trouble with run off or smear over, relative ease of handling [proper purple medical service type gloves are recommended when handling this and all other vehicle detailing chemicals] and no horrid smell or strange color to limit the application - doe anybody remember the Tire Gel with Glitter incorporated ??? spoooky.

Bonus round: this stuff is thick enough that it can easily be used on dark or light rubber molding / trim elements without fear of discoloration... going to try it on some weather stripping next.

Test Vehilce: 2000 Dodge Intrepid ES with the stock 16" five spoke "slotted" aluminum wheels

Thank You

Mothers 05924 Foaming All Wheel & Tire Cleaner - 24 Fl.oz Review

Mothers 05924 Foaming All Wheel & Tire Cleaner - 24 Fl.ozI'm not much of a car person, but I just used this stuff on my Subaru and it did a great job of getting almost of the brake dust and gunk off the wheels. Maybe I should have used another round though, since it had been far, far too long since those wheels had been cleaned! It was definitely easy and quick as promised. Just sprayed on and hosed off a few minutes later.
