Wheel Wells, Rims and Tires Rims, wheel wells and tires make a bold statement for the appearance of the vehicle, do you know how to properly detail these key components? Would you like to learn?

Thanks for all the replies. I've got a few of the products listed except for the BareBones and Extreme VRP. I'll have to check those out. Thanks for the replies.

+3 on Adam's...good stuff, but make sure you put something under your wheel wells as it drips down while it's drying and could potentially stain concrete / garage floor.

After thorough cleaning, I use Meguiar's Hyper Dressing at 3:1. It provides a dark, slightly glossy sheen, enough for you to know it's there. It is water based, so if you get some on the paint it won't be a PITA to get off.

A gallon is around $35ish at ADS, and it will go a LONG way.

I mostly use AA tire foam... best bang for the buck... can streak a little, but does a great job for cleaning as well.

have used Adams/CG Undercarriage, both work the same, smells nice

I've been using Stoner's Trim Shine, since my local Murray's was clearing them out @ 2.50 a can. Looks pretty nice! I'm not sure what I'll be switching to when thats all used up, so I'll have to keep an eye on this thread. Is trim shine avail. in bigger sizes than the standard aerosol?

AA Tire Foam. You can't really see mine, so streaking isn't a problem, but it keeps them nice and black.
