What's the best wheelwet you've run across?

Black Magic is okay, but I like the REALLY wet look, for a really long time.

Your favorites?

 

I use zaino, not the shiniest, but Im confident its not hurting my tires, and it holds up well without spinning off.

 

What's the best order to clean the wheels? Z-2 the rims first, or "wet" the tires first?

 

Personally, I like to do the rims first because if you accidently get some tire shine on your Z-2 applicator you could end up spearing it all over the rim.

 

Here is what I have been doing and it looks good and lasts long.

1. 303 Protectant

let it dry

2. Armor All Super Shine

 

You might like Black Saphire tire gel from properautocare.com.
I just tried it a few days ago for the first time. It is SUPER wet looking... very glossy. I was disappointed with Zaino tire gloss... not glossy enough for me, and not durable. I can't attest to the durability of the Black Saphire, but it sure looks good now!

I use Meguiars Vinyl and Rubber cleaner. I just spray it on my tire.. about 2 coats give the best shine. It doesn't give that artificial glossy look.. it actually rejuvinates the natural oils or some crap like that. Its also has a UV protectant. The past tire dressings i've used dryed out my tires really bad. just something to watch out for. So i've been using the Meguiar stuff for all my cars now

 

I like the Black Magic thats specifically for tires not the combo one.

 

I have been using Armor All Super Tire Shine for a long time and I like it. It seems to hold up fairly well. I takes about 20+ minutes to dry.

 

maguiars grape smell gel is real nice stuff

 

i second that, it is great..clean the tire, though, first. i use eagle one tire cleaner, it is easy, fast, and it is excellent.

I also go with 303 and it looks and works great.

 

Turtlewax tire wax shines and lasts for weeks.
