hey ya, i searched and didn't come up with much on tire shine, just someone mentioned zaino tire shine.

i want something that won't spin off onto my paint and something that gives a good gloss that lasts more than 2 days. someone told me that you should use a gel, and the more you apply it, the longer it lasts....
any thoughts?

They sell it at WalMart, so something tells me it's not the best tire shine, but on my old car I used Black Magic's stuff. They do have a spray, a gel you can rub on or a foam.

I use one from Maguiars (spelling). It comes in a clear spray bottle. Works good and lasts a while.

Meguires High Gloss Tire Gel
"Lasts weeks, not days!" is what the bottle says...

Lasts "days" for me, but still longer than a spray.
Black Magic sells a gel too, with an applicator.

Dude, go to the auto parts store, there's like a million!

Just know that tire "foam" doesn't do sh*t!
Tire "shine" is good but spatters a lot
Tire "gel" is the best, and lasts the longest

Peace

Turtle wax has some good stuff, Doesnt spin off at all and smells like starburst. :lol:
Its kindof a thick cream/gel. Good stuff.

More Shine, Less Time. I've used several brands, and this is the best I've used. It spays on with no overspray, is dark black and shiny. Tires don't turn brown, Lasts, long, too.

i've learned from experience that using a good tire cleaning product before you apply the spray/gel makes the tires shine longer. i personaly like Black Magic & Meguires.

one thing i have noticed from using gels is that you will start getting a build up.

01-24-2005, 08:57 PM
^^^ true! On my last car, I had gel buildup because I did not clean the tire properly when I apply it after frequent uses.

Now, I make sure that the tire is clean before I apply tire dressing. It really makes a difference in the shine and lasting effects; I use Eagle one tire shine and it lasts a good 2 weeks till I wash it again :P

been using no touch and some tire wet for the toyos I got. Works great, but I am still looking for something better. :D

Yup shining monkey. It doesn't eat the rubber like some of the other ones I was using. Like Eagle 1, and some others.
