to clean the wheels you just need a rag and some towels, no chemicals, the best tire stuff i have used is black magic, some people prefer armor-all it isnt as messy.

EAGLE 1 ALL THE WAY...i feel the spray on tire shine is way better than black magic's but black magic's wipe on stuff is totally awesome just let it sit on the tires for a good 30 min before driving and make one last wipe to get any excess off the tires before you go. i have a black talon and if you dont let the tire shine dry adn soak in a little you get all these spray marks on your car

i've been using the black magic (i think it's black magic anyway) the stuff with a tint to it. since i have a green eclipse i used the green tint. the stuff looks pretty neet, but expensive.

for the tires, I like wipe on better, I have turtle wax tire wax, it lasts longer than spray i think, and you can actually do it without getting it all over your rims and everything. As far as spray goes, "more shine less time" is good stuff.
