I have been usng the kit for about a month (in my never ending 200+ dollars worth detailing arsenal it is my go to products) :lol: now and their pretty good products with some downfalls. The wheel cleaner is acid free and has a neutral ph balance so the stuff couldn't hurt any type of wheel but it's not as strong as let's say a better cleaner like eagle one's AtoZ or all wheel and tire cleaner(same stuff but changed the name when they changed the formula and bottle) Works well but more scrubbing is required and won't take off really caked on brake dust.

The tire shine is the thing i dislike the most, tire absorbes it all and a drive through a bit of rain and it's gone since it is purely water based like armour all 303 aerospace etc... It takes about 3 to 4 coats on our tires to give it a dark matte finish. This stuff a little bit goes along way, the best thing to do anthony is to use a eagle one tire swipe and give it 3 to 4 squirts and apply it to the tire and let it sit and give it a few more coats for your desired look.

The repellent seems to work well, it doesn't really repel dust much but makes the wheels easier to clean in the future. Makes the wheels look like they were waxed after application, makes them look nice. Overall it's a god package and a free microfiber towel to boot which is nice.

I like meguiars endurance for tire shine and it lasts for weeks no matter the weather. Water beads of the tires, nice stuff. If anyone needs and detailing help or have and questions i am glad to help b/c detailing is what i love doing and have put a good few years into it.

If there is one thing i can tell anyone get yourself some good microfiber's for your paint, it's the best thing and i am sure microbunny has a line of them at his shop and if not http://www.eshine.ca is where i got mine. :) It's a good shop with mostly boutique products that alot of pro's use for those mirror finishes.If i was everyone id stop in at micro's store and check ouit thier stuff, i would if i lived in Ontario. :)
