Got a sample of this from AG to test out. It's been a while - I pretty much stopped detailing my cars during the long winter, so this is later than I intended. It smells very much like grape soda.
Short story: Meh... good for the intended purpose. It's a foaming cleaner/tire shine that is meant to be spray-on-and-walk away. It does do this. It leaves tires fairly shiny looking.
Longer story: this works pretty well. It does clean your tires and leave some shine. However, after it dries the tire looks like it's had something sprayed on it. It's kind of sticky looking and is fairly shiny. If you want shiny tires and don't want to clean them, this is probably a good option. Not that my test tires were not filthy, but they were not clean either. This stuff works as advertised.
The big issue for me is that I don't want my tires to have that "something has been applied" look. I want then to look black and natural, kind of line new tires. This stuff doesn't do that. So it does work, but isn't really something I would use.
After letting it dry and applied a little more and then took a tire applicator sponge to it. That helped even out the look quite a bit. Still more shiny than I prefer. It's not blindingly shiny, but definitely has some shine. So far it's lasted about 10 days and still looks good (no rain).
