Dieselman, I searched at work but couldn't find the stuff anywhere.
Sorry.

I use black magic spray on foam, it's pretty good. They used to have one in a squeeze type bottle and it was excellent, but I don't see it around anymore.

OK...might sound weird but here it goes.

Take an egg, take all the yellow stuff out of it and mix the white stuff with water. Apply it on your wheels with some kind of brush and they will be real shiny.

Never used it on tires but it looks good on cakes...lol

Default Maguires is the way to go.

Maguires is what I'm using now and I couldn't be happier with it.
It lasts for weeks. Even after a car wash the stuff is still on there.
It might kick up a little on the fenders but only if you put to much on.

In 16 years of driving I never had a tire failure that was not the result of a nail, glass or foreing object. My tires go bald way before any silicone or oil destroy them.

After talking to the Meguiars rep this last week.....

I talked to him about the "oil" and the tire issue.....

He says it's all bull**** and there is NO "oil" in the mix that would cause any damage. He said it's all synthetic chemicals and is 100% safe.
