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?

+4 I guess. It is good. I don't really like the smell, but it is still good stuff. It feels a bit greasy to be, but I guess no one is going to go touch their undercarriage. I like the look though.

I had been using AA Tire foam but didn't really feel it was all that cheap... about 5 bucks a can but I went through really fast (I drive a truck and the wife a Jeep Cherokee so big wells that show a lot). Just got and tried Adams and really like the look of it too (about the same as the AA IMO).

Those using Adams and similar products - how do you apply? With the AA foam, I covered the well with the foam and left it to do it's thing. With Adams, I feel like I could stretch it quite a bit further if I applied less and spread it with a cheap towel or applicator but I'm not sure if I want the added effort.

AATF 7/10 look, usually last me about 6-7 vehicles @ $2.99 a can (Wal-Mart) I can't find anything that can touch it. It's controllable even if the winds blowing!

MEG'S HYPER DRESSING via spray gun gives the perfect *10/10 look IMO. It's all personal preference though. MHD mists very fine and is hard to control on windy days, so...

I fill 1/3 of a bottle with Auto Magic's SuperDressIt and fill the rest with water and man, does it leave the wells looking nice.

Stoners More Shine. $35 a case delivered to your door. I use it on engines, wheel wells, and tires.
Also black trim that is in a mood and won't turn black. It IS a silicone product so be prepared to wipe it off. I use it in the first steps of cleaning not the last.
