Tireific Review

TireificA friend recommended this product to me, saying it was way better than traditional tire shines and dressings. He couldn't have been more right! This stuff is simply amazing. I put one application on and my tires are still shiny and dry to the touch over a month later! Other tire shines wash off, or collect dirt within a few days. Tireific just keeps on shining and looking great. I wish I had known about it sooner.

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.)

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.

Zymol Z514 Wheel Coat Review

Zymol Z514 Wheel CoatAfter trying many different products to keep my wheels clean, I have decided that this product is just average. The small bottle doesn't last long, and the product needs to be buffed off to a sheen if you want optimal results. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it adds another step. If you're going to buff the product anyway, wheel wax is a better option. It is useful to coat the lug nut recesses and the inside of the wheel if you have a hard time getting your hand in there to buff off the excess.

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.

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....

Black Magic BM20332BP Tire Wet 32 oz. Review

Black Magic BM20332BP Tire Wet 32 oz.This stuff looks really nice right after it is applied but it doesn't have any durability whatsoever.Recently I've started using Mother's FX Tire Shine and it is a huge improvement over this product.Black Magic is very thin and watery which allows it to spin off and rinse off easy when it is wet out.The product from Mother's is very thick in comparison and doesn't sling off while giving a much better shine.

Mothers Wheel Brush Review

Mothers Wheel BrushI'll be honest, I'm not even sure exactly what part of the wheel this brush is supposed to clean.But I needed a brush to clean the rims of my car (which were pretty dirty) and this generally did the trick.First off, I did not use a high pressure water hose, just a normal one, this brush, and a bucket with car soap.And by and large it helped get most of the grime gently off my rims.The bristles are definitely soft, which is good because it won't scratch your rims.At the same time though, because the bristles were soft, it was unable to get out some of the heavy dirt that was caked in.Also, this brush has a relatively wide area so I could clean the outer surface of my tire and rim quickly.However, because it was big, it was difficult getting access to the nooks and crannies of my rims.For that, I recommend getting a Mother's Detail Brush which is more narrow (think of it as dental floss vs. toothbrush) Mothers Detail Brush Set - 2 Pack.The brush itself is quite durable and ergonomic, and not too heavy.One other issue I had is that once I cleaned my wheels once, a lot of dirt got into the bristles and i was unable to wash that color out.Though I don't think it tracks dirt once I washed it out.
