all the stuff i have used just messes up the body of the car and my rims after.. all those tire shine products.. but for the couple of hours the car is sitting there .. it sure does look purdy

worse for us _DRU_ the tire shine leaves black spots all ovr the white car

i'll have to try using a wool cloth thing but nothing else seems to work. the tires just stand out too, nice clean car, nice clean wheels, brown dirty tires...

try Armorall's new stuff or some other ones the new ones on the market claim to last for weeks instead of days... and i just spray it close up so it doesnt get on my rims or on my body and i put a towel on top of the tread so none of it gets on it... do the tire cleaner foam then the shiny stuff

Hey sprint, how do you keep your rims clean? I have the hardest time keeping my konigs clean. Should I throw a coat of wax on them?

Thanks.

Try the new endurance stuff from Meguiar's I believe. Got a freebie and that thing rocks. And it lasts as well.
