Tire Cleaning HELP

Hi People, awesome forum but I'm not so thrilled with the search feature. Maybe I'm not using it correctly. Either I get zero information or way too much non-related info. Anyway, I got 2 questions: 1. What is the best way to clean my alloys ?and 2. What is best to use to get that high gloss finish on my rubber ?

Re: Tire Cleaning HELP

i'm no crazed car owner, though my fiance thinks i am.

i use black magic wheel wipes every other time i take car out.

i just use a basic tire shiner

Re: Tire Cleaning HELP

I used Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Dressing (aerosol) for the first time last week... Wow, did it make my tires shinny. I has lasted through one good washing without dulling significantly. I'll be amazed if it makes it through two washings.

Here's an article on tire/wheel care:
