I guess the LS Wheels I have are aluminum, right? SO I dont want to get tire cleaner on them :I
They look to be polished aluminum, or at least a brushed chrome finish. Hmmm......

I am adament about staying AWAY from Armor-All. It fades all of your plastics and over all is just a crappy product.

I also won't use Armor All. It collects dust rather than repelling it. And it does have some unpredictable results on vinyls and clear coat. UV seems to effect it. I like cleaners better than "coaters" and too often - the traditional Armor All product seems to be a "coater". Some of Armor Alls cleaning products work OK though.

Ok, I just picked up some miguire's GoldClass Shampoo, a chamois, and a wash mit.
There was so much krap to choose from, I forgot what is best and what isn't from all the replies. There is "Wheel" cleaner and there is "Tire Shine" then there is "Wheel and tire CLeaner" I was like WTF .

It appears that the tire shine stuff "SHOULD NOT" touch the wheels, or it will hurt them, right?

I have LS ALuminum 16" Wheels. What stuff (That is good) should I get that "WONT" hurt them, yet clean em good?

Then I need some tire protectant shine, which there was like 10 different kinds of spray, gel, paste, pads etc....for tires

And by this time, from all the replies, I couldnt tell what is best for the black trim on my truck....Is BacktoBlack ok?

What interior cleaner "REPELS" dust, if it is not armor all?

I guess a piece of paper and a pen and some searching is in order. SIGH,
