For silver wheels the vanilla moose glaze followed by klasse all in one topped with poorboys wheel sealant works really really well,

As for tyres, a clean matt look its gotta be poorboys bold n bright. For a super glossy shiny look i like megs endurance but the poorboys is much nicer to use and my prefered dressing of the two

Hope that helps bud

Yep; VMG, AIO topped with layers (two or three) of poorboy's wheel sealant gives an excellent finish.

As for tyres, Bold N Bright gives an excellent glossy finish (mistype by Frayz lol), but you could buff it matt if you wanted. Meg's endurance is okay but messy, and can sling. It does give a nice finish however. AG tyre dressing, applied with a sponge, is another alternative.

I'd go for the Poorboy's stuff though.

Rick - the chemical guys gel is pretty good stuff, although no better than Meg's Endurance, and suffers the same problem that sling is possible (as is the case with all gels). To avoid this, you need to use a water based product like the AG dressing, or Poorboy's. With wheels like Super T's (look great but are indeed a massive pain to clean...) spend a while the first time putting on a few layers of the wheel sealant; it makes future cleaning much easier.

Wonder Wheels is very effective, although quite harsh, so care should be taken. Once the wheels are properly clean, providing they are cared for, you should never need to use a product like this again

Rick - yes, wonder wheels is just a cleaner, and quite a harsh one at that. Always best to use something afterwards; a quick layer of SRP is much better than nothing

Hi There,

I use the AG clean wheels for the 1/week cleaning of the alloys.
Once a year, they get a good cleaning inside out and then I use Wheel Wax from Turtle.
For the tyres I now use the AG tyre dressing, had some foam stuff before, but that was messy.

Grtz
