As he should be.

Theres my Meguiars products I ordered and just got my D120 in Today

As I mentioned in the other threads nicely done. You have a good collection of products going. My next recommendation to you is D110 Hyperwash. With a dilution of 400:1 (1 oz to 4 gallons of water) it's hard to beat and I have to say it's Meguiar's best soap.

One thing I did notice in one of your posts is the photo of your dilution ratios. The dilutions are on the bottle and you can just circle whatever dilution ration you are using. It's an OCD thing for me as I hate to mark up my bottles like that.

I get the empty spray bottle on my phone.

im curious if the m40 or m57 would give me the same results.
i dont see using a full gallon of dressing anytime soon.
i can get m40 from Oreillys and m57 from Menards

The detailer synthetic express wax on the other hand .....I ordered 2 gallons

M40 will leaves a good natural finish as well. Give it a shot you will like it. It won't be overly glossy.

That's next to get still on debate between the meguiars wheel brightener or sonax full effect ?

What are you looking to do with either of those?

Have you considered D143 Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner? It's not color changing but a good wheel and tire cleaner.

If you are looking for a color changing wheel cleaner you can try Meguiar's Dub wheel cleaner. The other one that works very well is Adams Deep Wheel Cleaner. The benefit to Adams is that it can be diluted 1:1 and used as iron remove on paint (such as ironx). It may look expensive but when you think about the dual use it's not that bad.

just looking for a good cleaner for my chrome rims I have the dub wheel cleaner and meguiars chrome wheel cleaner

I would stick with what you are using. Wheel brightener has some serious stuff in it that requires one to wear gloves, mask and eye protection. Although I do it when using any wheel cleaner.

Try out Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner. It's the consumer version of D143. The benefit is that it can be used to clean tires as well as wheels.

My recommendation is to use DUB once or twice a year. Seal your wheels with a durable sealant so that all you need is soap and water in between those deep cleanings with DUB.

I would consider getting a wheel coating versus a sealant as it will last even longer. I am using Pinnacle Black Label Wheel Coating that I traded some other member on Autogeek and it's on another level. It's stated to last up to 18 months. I'm at 1 month on my new wheels and it's awesome. There are cheaper coatings.

You have D156 so you could use that after every wash as a drying aid getting the paint and wheels while still wet. You get a nice layer of protection after every wash. Should be enough to get you by until you need to use a wheel cleaner.
