Default Best tire dressing I've ever seen

I'm picky, and without rhyme or reason.

This stuff is hands down the best tire stuff I've ever used!

Nothing else, just a high reccomendation coming from me.

All meguiars stuff is top notch. I use them pretty exclusively.

The hot-shine product is great, I use the gel version.

Default ....SHINE....

Does this stuff end up all over the sides of the car?
My 'Armor-All' tire shine product looked good until you drive and get out of your car only to see your clean car with tire shine product all over the sides.

Does it stay on the tire?

Does centrificial force spray the whole car with tire shine?

Have you driven anywhere with that shine on your tires?

OR is this a 'show only' type of product?

I need a real world product because I am stuck in the real world.

Armor-All? lol

Kids use that stuff. Use the grown up good stuff - Meguiar's - and yes it lasts in real world conditions.

Use common sense. Spray it on and dont drive the car for 10 minutes. Then its fine and wont spray all over the place.

Default ....Ok., I'll GET SMART....

I will give it a try.

I did wait several hours before driving.

Is this McQuires Tire Shine product a spray-on or is it applied with an aplicator?

Does that say 'Adjustable sprayer' on the can?

when i apply this tire spray or the tire foam, i usually do it on day i don't need to drive. if you drive too soon than you can spin off with any spray on tire treatment.

I use Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance Gloss and a home depot brush. I don't buy those tire shine applicators cause they tend to get messy and I'm not trying to waste gloves when not needed. After you apply the gel onto the tires with the brush let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then with a work microfiber lightly wipe off any excess of the product. If you did it right you should not have any slinging.
