Hey guys whats the best tire wax to use? I have been using TurtleWax Tire Shine it works for the time it is put on but after it fades away. So right now I'm stumped... I'm thinking about purchasing some from the Mother's Brand. What do you guys use?

i used mothers polish, and i've read that it's recommended by a lot of wheel manufactuerers:

here's a decent guide, i wouldnt recommend the wheel cleaner part though, from past experience!!

How should I keep my chromed wheels/spinners in their best condition?

We would like you to get the best usage out of your chrome wheels and to make sure you get many years of pleasure from your wheels on your vehicle here are a few points we wish to address regarding chrome plated wheel care and maintenance.

Wash the wheels exactly as you would your cars bodywork, its simple:-

Fine spray rinse wheels/spinners off with water.
Mix car shampoo wash & wax with water in a bucket and wash wheels with sponge.
Rinse off wheels with water.
If wheels are still dirt/brake dust stained we recommend using “Meguiars Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner”, which is one of few wheel cleaners on the market that can be used on chromed wheels! Simply spray it on a, lightly scrub with a sponge if required, hose it off, simple!
Once dry use a car wax, such as “Meguiars Gold Class Clear Coat Liquid Wax”, to add a protective layer. Wax helps to protect the chrome finish by adding a protective layer. Dirt and brake dust will stick to this rather than the chrome finish. Making cleaning a lot easier.
It is best to wash the wheels once a week to help stop brake dust and dirt being ground-on. If you ignore cleaning your wheels brake dust, winter salt on the roads and dirt will pit the finish, as moisture in the climate will react with the chrome plating.

Do not use car washes, the detergents used could damage the chrome finish, or the chrome finish could get scratched. Don’t use any wheel dirt/brake dust cleaners than can’t be used on chromed wheels, the acid content could effect the finish, we only recommend what is listed above.

Our Rule Of Thumb: If you are unsure of how to clean and maintain your chrome wheels use only what you would use on the body of your vehicle


hope that helps

no man i'm talking about the tire not the rim.

Black Magic Tire Shine. It lasts so long, and looks so good.

i've used probably everything on the market, and they all fade! their primarily for show, my personal fav is wet'n black

i like the nxt generation by meguires, shines ffor a good amount fo time doesnt fade quick




If it doesnt break then you didnt drive it hard enough!

I drive an automatic, I'll race you... 1 hand and 1 foot.

black magic tire gel is great if you have a rather large sidewall 2 weeks can pass and it looks like it is soaken wet still.. but dust does stick to it easily the only stuff i use on my camaro

for my sunfire since the small sidewall being a 40 i use maguires tire wet spray works good smells alright the tire gel doesnt work good with the low profile tires
