Canadian OTC Wheel/Well products.

I'm wondering what you guys prefer for wheel and wheel well cleaning and dressing. I'm having a tough time finding some of the american products up here that are mentioned in the general forum.

Thanks!

Located just outside of Toronto if that helps.

(Come on above freezing temperatures without rain)!

Re: Canadian OTC Wheel/Well products.

You can't go wrong with Poorboy's Bold 'n Bright-available from Chris at eshine.ca. He also has the Optimum gel. Great prices and very fast shipping. OTC you can get 303 and Meguiar's products at Cdn. Tire. I believe Duragloss products can be ordered through Solvit outlets (Markham and elsewhere). S100 products available at Harley dealerships (Richmond Hill). Some on here use Mop 'n Glo on wheel wells.

Re: Canadian OTC Wheel/Well products.

Bold n Bright and Optimum are excellent choices for tire dressings. EShine is quick and economical for shipping.

Re: Canadian OTC Wheel/Well products.

A regular wheel cleaning regimen will keep the wheels looking good. An OTC wheel cleaner like Eagle 1 is good. S100 wheel cleaning gel is great too. (14 bucks in Victoria). Both are OTC.

Wheel wells are a different story. Use any APC that's good and cheap. A long handled toilet bowl brush fits into wells nicely. Dress the wells with Armour All. It's cheap and we're talking wheel wells, not dashboards, not tires, not trim, just the wells. Spritz it in and walk away. Easy and OTC.
Good luck,
-John C.

Re: Canadian OTC Wheel/Well products.

For an OTC tire/wheel cleaner, I like the one from Home Hardware (Unival brand). Yes, I know, nobody seems to bother with their stuff, but I've found that it works well and doesn't smell like acid. It doesn't turn my tires brown either. (Not too harsh.)
