I have always used Meguires Gold Class for soap and Bleech-white for the tires. I need to order more of both but I wanted to check to see if there was something better out there

I use Meguiars Crystal wash and I only rarely use Westley's Bleche White anymore.

I am using water based tire dressings so I dont have to use harsh chemicals on the tires to remove it.

Car soap depends on what I'm washing, I'm going to order a gallon of Chemical Guys Maxi Suds here soon and give it a shot.

Cleaning tires I'll use bleach white w/ stiff bristle brush followed with blue Dawn if it's bad, otherwise just whatever soap I have in the bucket. For making tires look like a rich black I use Stoners aerosol tire shine and even it out with an applicator.

the correct answer is - whatever kind the people washing my car for me are using

I only use Wesley's if the tire obviously has layers of the cheap shiny stuff that need to be scrubbed off...it's perfect for that.

Then apply a good water based gel...leaves a slightly dark yet natural finish.

Meguiars Crystal Wash.

I never use a tire product. Tires/wheels get washed last with the same soap as the car.

Wash - Mr Pink Super Suds: http://www.chemicalguys.com/Chemical_Guys_CWS_402_16_Mr_Pink_Super_Suds_Sha_p/cws_402_16.htm

I don't really use anything special for the tires. Once every few washes I deep clean the wheels with Sonax Full Effect (http://www.detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Full-Effect-Wheel-Cleaner-500ml_p_324.html)

Meguiars - Gold Class for a 30 minute regular wash with Meguiars Hot Shine for Tires. I like it because its good for when I don't want to spend a lot of time on the vehicle.

Chemical Guys - Mr. Pink for the longer detailing days. Chemical Guys Tire Gel as well.

Used brake fluid and a scotch-brite pad. Cleans it up real nice!

The 3 soaps I mainly use are Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash (Alkeline), Meguiars Wash Plus (deep clean and wax/sealant removal and synthetic clay lube), and Blue Coral for a cheap and decent prewash. I'll use either the BC or the PP on the tires as I don't use a dedicated tire cleaner or degreaser anymore -- the tire OEMs I've contacted do not recommend it. I also no longer use a dressing of any kind -- also not recommended. I'm more worried about tire longevity and performance than them being shiny.

I use McKee's 37 Extreme Foam for my foam cannon.

For my regular washing, I use Chemical Guys rinseless.

For tires, I use McKee's tire coating. I apply it about twice per year (I do not drive much, but that is about once per oil change).

Zaino for leather, and polishes. AIO for daily's. Garage queens get AIO and Z5 and Z2.

303 for plastic and interior.

Stoners for glass.

Wonder wafers for air freshener if needed.
