    EF Tire Gel and Wheel Wax applied

    Over the past few weeks, I`ve been meaning to write a review on how these products work since there seems to be no info about wheel wax at DC.

    Wheel Wax:
    I love this stuff now. It looks like a giant glob of lard when you open it, but it works wonderfully. I cant compare this to sealent on wheels, but if any brake dust gets on it, an easy wipe with a shop towel can take it all off.

    It removes brake dust so easily and evenly. For me, I`d rather apply wax and buff off, than agitate it with a brush and cleaner.

    EF Gel:
    First of all, I`d like to praise the smell. Its some sort of tropical fruit smell, makes me hungry everytime I use it. The gloss can be adjusted to however you wish. I buffed one side of the car and left the other side as a semi-gloss to high gloss shine. Neither side had any slingoff. As a word of caution, I tend to apply too much dressing on tires since i like the gloss look. If you apply TOO much, eventually it will sling (as with any product).

    Hi-Gloss, this picture does not do justice since its horrible picture taking.

    You can actually see some brake dust still caked on the back of the tire along with the hazed wheelwax. I intend on taking the tires off next time and see if the wheelwax can tackle the layer.

    I`ve got more pictures of wheel wax in action....This is wheel wax assulting the 2yr old brake dust on the back of the rims I tried running my finger with a latex gloves over the caked on parts and couldnt remove anything. It went on/off real easy.

    First picture is the EF tire gel (non buffed side after a couple days).... I didnt use much product so it more of a med-gloss, which I really like.

    after... The lettering is really impossible without some kind of brush to get inbetween. Also, the dots on the sides are nicks from rocks or something +, its the back of the wheel :crazy
