Wow that looks incredible!  I might just have to pick some of that stuff up.  That stuff is safe to get on your brakes and suspension?

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

^^^yeah it is. its just dressing like tire shine for wheel wells.
if you talking about degreasers then yeah its safe as long as its not powder coated, if it i dont think i would use degreaser on that

Below is a picture of my rims.  They have been painted matte black.  Is there anything I can use to clean them other then soap and water?

[ikethegreat]

Two more questions!

1.  If you look at the picture of my rim above, the chrome "blocks" that go around the rim are fairly dirty, can I use anything to polish them up without hurting the paint?

2.  Whats the longest lasting tire shine product you have?  I was looking at the Opti-Bond Tire Gel but want to see if it's the best.

Thanks!

Okay one last question I promise!

Lets say I just finished washing the car and only have time to do one thing, which would you pick?  

Both will be done by hand:
Use Poorboy's World EX Sealant w/ Carnauba
or
Use California Gold Carnauba Cleaner Wax

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

^^^ have they been clear coated? if not then only safe cleaner i know is chemical guys Diablo, its PH balanced so its safe on any wheel as far as i know.

longest lasting as far as i know is Tuf-buff tire sealant(lasts couple month).  i just got Rubber Dub http://spautopia.co.uk/rubberdub.aspx from UK but havent tried it yet. i have optibond and its ok but doesnt last well through rain, other good one is showroom FX white pearl tire dressing.

[ikethegreat]

They are not clear-coated.

One more question, which of these two is better for applying waxes and sealants?

i prefer foam applicator, i have DI once and i like them. they are pretty small so i can put them in most of my waxes containers so i can use them next time so it doesnt waste wax

I'm really a fan of TUF Shine.

you have it? if this rubber dub doesnt work as good as i want it ill probably get tuf-shine

[Mike]

Yes I have it. Its the longest lasting stuff I found, and it doesn't leave the greasy mess that a lot of other products do.
