Thanks man. Coming from a dad who meticulously takes cares of his cars, I have an obligation to do it. Since I'm a senior and will be graduating college in December, I'll be buying myself a new car for graduation...hopefully!!! I can't wait!!

what i recommend doing for a nice tire shine, and nice white letters, buy some Westley's Bleach White, and a metal brush, clean the whole tire, then later on after the tire is dry, use eagle wet 1, it last me usually 4 days or so, just thought i'd share this!

Westley's will degrade the rubber over the years. I had the exact same problem. I used that stuff a long time ago on the same tires and noticed a lot of cracking and the appearance is gray. Don't use that stuff and use Eagle One's A2Z Tire/Wheel Cleaner.

i use black magic. it looks great but with about any of the tire shines you will have to let the vehicle sit a while before you drive it or wipe the extra off. there are some gels out there that you wipe on the tires and can drive right after. over all though if you are going to drive right after or soon after best bet is to whipe any of it on.

Meguires Endurance for me. Put it on lasts a long time. It doesnt collect dirt. Not a gloss shine but very nice semi gloss look. Smells like grape jelly. No IM not kidding
