There is no cure!
MICHELIN WHEEL/TIRE CLEANER- it claims to be safe for regular use and acid free. i sprayed on. waited 30 seconds. sprayed off with hose. i was a little disappointed since it didnt do anything that way. i sprayed on again and agitated a bit with a foam sponge. this cleaned up quite nice. i think that for a once a month tire cleaning i'd use a2z. but for regular wheel/tire washings im gonna sue this. a2z is too harsh to be using everytime

MICHELIN TIRE SHINE- i think that this has to be one of the best over the counter products based on looks. it goes on easy. its water based. and give a nice low gloss sheen. i was very impressed with someone's reviews of it, and im more than happy with it on my tires... lets see how it lasts.

MICHELIN BRAKE DUST REPELLANT- i really cant say much about this other than the fact that it goes on easy and wiping off is like water.. actually, this products is clear and liquidy just like water.

4STAR UPP- wow! im very happy with it. it goes on super easy (thanks to the viking handigrip foam applicator). a little goes a long way. i used about and ounce and a half on the whole car. shine and gloss is very good. removal was superb. i left it on for 40minutes in the direct sun. super hot today may i add. i just simply gave it one wipe and it came off. paint prep was udone with meguiars #80 speed glaze.

Wow very nice!. Oh I dig that red Caddy on the background? I wonder what year it's that baby :jump
 
my neighbors just got it. its been parked there for a few days. its kinda oxidized but i dont know them very much, and i guess explaining a detail to them would just be brushed off. i got the tire shine for like 6 bucks at autozone. soo far, they're the only ones carrying them.
 
added a second coat of the upp. i didnt touch the wheels or tires. i used poorboys spray and wipe to clean up the paint. u can tell that for a day the tires look great and the rims are staying clean. ive driven 110miles since yesterdays detail.
