I can't get my tires to stay looking that good for more than a day. Just want to know what someone else uses.
If I'm lazy I'll hit it with the spray on foam, and wipe.
If I am not then it's the black magic "windex" spray on bottle, plus wipe.

Haven't done this myself, but I saw a show on TV where people were gathering and showing off their old cars, and the guy gave a tip that you can use like armour all (pretty sure that's not how it's spelled...) on the tires and give 'em a deep shine like you would your dash or hoses in the engine. He said it's not as shiny, but it lasts and seems a deeper shine. He then did it on one tire and it looked pretty nice, but I've no idea how long that would last...

I think your camaro looks very good with those cross-laces on it. I wonder what a set of gray/silver ones would look like?

armor-all is not good to get on paint, so if you don't wipe it completely then it'll "splash" up on your lower body mouldings.
