    It really does smell like pumpkin spice when you spray it too!

    Well let’s go all in then....gallon size of the cleaner, and the foaming version of the iK sprayer. I ended up buying both versions of the sprayer you recommended. I already had the gallon size of the tire cleaner, but it didn’t work as well in a regular spray bottle. I was up until then just using it to refill the original bottle.
    Tried it out a couple of days ago, and it worked great.

    Mothers 05902 Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner - 1 Gallon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000COU7M0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_m7V8AbTWQRSRD

    iK FOAM 1.5 PUMP SPRAYER | 35 oz | Professional Auto Detailing; Dry / Wet Foam Spray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BLGDAVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_N-V8AbH5G0H4E

    I also ordered the BDX wheel cleaner and blacklight soap you mentioned. I haven’t used either yet.

    I've used that stuff before.
    On my commuter car, i had really bad hazed headlights. while at the sam's club gas station and guy came up and asked to show how it worked. Now normally i politely tell them to f off, but this time i thought i'd let them show me. It cleaned my hazed headlights in record time. I said f it and bought the pack. I ran out some years ago, but would buy it again.

    I've used FW1 Kitchen Care Waterless Wax and it worked as advertized. I would assume the Car high performance cleaning wax would be a great product too.

    got a carpro package:

    I was excited to try the wheel cleaner the most (since i've already seen what waxaddict can do)
    The tundra's wheels weren't very dirty, so i grabbed some pictures of the commuter car's wheels
    This was after about 30 seconds

    5 min later and a quick hit with the power washer

    Finally got some Waxaddict Tyre Feeder to try yesterday. This stuff is legit. Very impressive product. I went back on Sky’s The Limit this morning to get a larger bottle, but I’m only seeing the little one. Does anybody sell a bulk size? I emailed Corey this morning to see if they did.

    Yeah, it looks like that’s it. Waxaddict looks to be based out of the UK. I guess since trucks with big tires aren’t very common there, they don’t need as much. It goes farther when you have little cars with little tires.

    I was really surprised with how fine of a mist waxaddict nozzle was. It kinda went everywhere. And after hitting 2 vehicles tires and some plastic on the truck, it used a good inch of it.....should have bought two.

    Is this cleaner safe for Pro wheels? I know they are aluminum and the product is aluminum safe but since they are black (and I honestly don't know if they are painted or created black), I just want to make sure.

    Tried searching this thread, so my apologies if it has been asked before. How do you get water spots off of auto glass? I have some good techniques for stuff in my house, but I don't want to bring any of those products near my truck.

    I have no experience with this. But this company is regularly recommended among others. I am sure the detailing gurus will also help you.

    How bad is it? Any pictures?

    My commuter car's windshield was terrible. I ended up having to use a kit that had a polish in it: It worked great. And its my go-to window cleaner now.

    I'm sure @SouthBoundSteve will chime in shortly with some recommendations as well.

    I used it on my non-pro TRD wheels. I didn't take a picture, because they weren't that dirty.

    No pictures. I will try to get some. Not sure how "bad" it is - I just don't think it looks good. Especially on the windows that have tint.

    @SouthBoundSteve So is the Bleche-White okay to get on your rims when you are spraying the tires? I have a 2018 Tundra sport with stock rims. I'm assuming they are alloy rims. Thanks!
