Tire and wheel well dressings?

I am wondering what everyone's favorite water based tire dressing is. I have been using Z16 for a while and it looks good and I'm almost out and due to personal reasons I refuse to give Zaino any money. What dressings would you put as comparible to Z16, or possibly even prefer. I would like something that makes the tires a little blacker with the same level of shine.



Now to dressing wheel wells. Mine are supposed to be a nice black, but they are always greyish. I used to use AA foam in there, but it's not exacly the cleanest/easiest/most durable product. My car has a very narrow area between the tire and the fender, so something that can be sprayed in would be perfect. I know Adams/CG has one, as well as Griots. Are there any others and what do you guys use for wheel well dressing?
 
A quick search will give you hundreds of answers. Here are a few of my favs.

1. CG VRP Dress All

2. CG Liquid Extreme Shine

3. Poorboys Bold N Brite
 
My favorite water based dressing by far is Z-16. 303 looks fantastic, and has good standing time, whereas I've been a little turned off my meg's hd due to seeing it wash off after one wash. Other than that it looks great. Fk 108 looks very similar as Z-16 only you can't dilute it for interior use if you wanted. It lasts a good amount of time and is something you should probably look into.
 
FK1 108- Great tire dressing, well dressing, interior, trim dressing, leather, use it on anything.



Poorboys BNB- Not my favorite, but decent for a water based.



Z16 is tough to beat.
 
I just ordered some Adam's VRT and Invisible Undercarriage so we'll see how I like them. Based on pics though the VRT is perfect if you want a semi-gloss finish on your tires.
 
tires : AA tire foam and/or tire gel...

wells : AA tire foam



both inexpensive, easy to find, and look good...

Try some Mop 'n' Glo on the wheelwells. I prefer to use it in a spray bottle. Putting it on with a sponge or rag is really messy, but it looks great.
 
Poorboy's Bold n Bright is an extremely good tire dressing. My problem is that I have trouble justifying the use of a very good product on wheel wells. I tend to use the cheap OTC products for my wheel wells or something that I am trying to get rid of.
 
bnb +1

i use bnb on everything, tires, trim and interior. have had great luck it's longevity too. my question is to those using AA foam for the wheel wells. does it attract alot of dust and turn brown after a while. that's one of the things i like about bnb, it doesn't brown after a couple days of driving.

Surf City Garage (dark, matte sheen) or WG Tire Gel (dark and a bit more gloss than SCG) on tires, and Megs Hot Rims in wheel wells. I am about to get some DG Ultimate Detail Spray for the wells and engine bay.
