For me its Megs All Season Dressing for the Ford wheel wells . Greasy and stinks, but leaves a nice gloss finish that will last a month. Iron X is another, but it doesnt have a pleasant competitor. What are your nasties?

I can't stand using products I don't like. They either sit on the shelf, I'll give them away, or throw them away.

Mark, I love how well it works. Its just not a product you open up and take a deep whiff.
 
I use Sonax wheel cleaner on customers wheels that really need it (works good for severe applications),but that stuff smells NASTY.

Another product that works well is CG Bare Bones for dressing the wheel wells but is a PITA to clean any micro fiber used to blend it.It has a tendency to leave a solvent like film on everything.

I know this has nothing to do with your post, but were did you get the Iron X from, I have been really wanting to try that stuff, but cant seem to find it. Back to your post, connelly leather dressing, looks lick a mess in the jar, put still does amazing stuff to leather.

I use the Sams and throw away after a few uses.
 
+1 on Aquartz IronCut/IronX, it makes Sonax Full Effect smell pleasant by comparison.
 
I like the ASD but the smell gives me a headache.

APC Plus isnt so great ay 4:1 either.

Bare bones is good stuff smells great too (grapes) I use it on my tires to.
 
SuperClean! I use it on tires and wheel wells and that stuff you can't breath in. It literally stings so bad and you will hack your brains out!

I even use it diluted 1:4.

If you've got a Costco around, you can get cheap MFs there too, but the quality is a bit lower than the ones you get at Sam's.

I actually use the Sam's ones on paint when I'm working on customers daily drivers or basically anything that isn't receiving a show-level full correction detail. They're plenty good enough and I've never seen any marring or anything of that sort.
 
For cars with neglected single stage paint, I still have an can of TR-3 Resin Glaze. This stuff is nasty (smells like a refinery), but it works well on neglected cars.

Eagle One A2Z Wheel cleaner also is funky ,but works well.
 
LAs Totally Awesome feels like it will burn a hole in a lung without ventilation at full strength.

I am still having trouble with the strawberry scent of Fuzion. I feel like I'm turning into a sissy. What happened to good old automotive chemical smells? :)
