I haven't used the tire stuff but the Gold Class wash is very good. Your wash mitt will just glide over the surface and lots of suds.

I noticed that, I'm so used to using cheaper stuff that makes it feel like you have to work to get it to glide along the surface.. while this stuff made me think, "Is it washing it?" because it seemed to be sliding along so smoothly lol.
The tire stuff smells really nice also, reminds me of grape kool-aid so I kept sniffing it as I put it on..
I picked up an interior scrubbing brush, a small detailing brush for dash vents and such.. and a spray nozzle today. Slowly building up a few things to make washing my car a little simpler + a better job. Planning on ordering my WetPaint and 303 this week.
Is this the wheel cleaner you use?:

Keep the suggestions coming!

I am going to dig up this thread.....being a huge detailing fan I figured I would nose in my input.
I have about 100 million car products out in the garage, I look like a store, so I will list some of my favorite. I am not a pro so I stick mostly with the consumer stuff.
Most often used:
Stoner Invisible Glass--best glass cleaner I have used, use a microfiber towel or I have had real good luck with newspaper
Stoner More Shine Less Time--The engine shining miracle (thanks RTexasF)
Simple Green--The do it all cleaner for everything except windows
Wet Paint Glaze--personally I love it on my wheels, that factory aluminum was a pain to keep good looking before
Meguiars Paint Cleaner and Polish--I use these a lot before waxing
Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax--my favorite for a clean car
Meguiars PlastX--No car is complete without nice shiny headlights/taillights
Meguiars #40 Vinyl/Rubber Cleaner Conditioner--my favorite interior detail, doesn't leave that overshiny look
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash--good stuff

The glass cleaner I use on everything from my car to my home is Amonia. Delute this in a spray bottle with water. You can get a big bottle for 98 cent at Walmart that will last you forever. This stuff is the best streek free cleaner that I have found. You could also use news papers to wipe it off with. I usually just use reg car rags. Hope this helps. I told my mom about this and she is a clean freak and that's all she uses now. My mother and law told me about amonia. She uses it on here home windows and it looks great. I think using a sqeegy to get the amonia off also does a clear job. The amonia evaporates with the water and does not leave a film.

I've not done a review on it. I only use it on really bad wheels because it is highly acidic and can cause damage. It's not one I would recommend for every wash use....only in severe cases.
