Best tire shine?

[Blachatch]

I just bought the optimum tire shine and dont really care for it.. it runs to much.. what is everyone else using that gives great results?

You are going to get a million different answers.

Go with the new Optimum Tire Shine that Scott sells.

I have been using the Black Magic Titanium tire gel lately. http://www.blackmagiccarcare.com/Ti_tireWetGel.htm It is a thick gel, you put on a foam applicator, and rub around the tire. It works great, no over spray, no runs. Put on as much, or as little as you want, depending on the shine you want. I have, also, used it on the cowl, mirrors, and black trim around the windows.

I've tried about 7 different tire shines even some expensive crap you can't buy in stores and to tell you the truth armor all gel has worked the best for me.

Zaino Z-16 is freaking awesome! Plus it smells like bubble gum.

I use Armor - All and like it. I just spray in onto a foam applicator and apply. Only gripe is that I wish it lasted longer.

What look are you going for? Glossy? Matte? Semi-Gloss? How do you prefer to apply it? I use spray onto a foam tire swipe and them wipe onto the tire. I then let it dry for 20 minutes or so. After that, I may buff off the excess with an old towel.

Spray on; buff off...lasts forever, easily applied to tires that have funky sidewall designs/ribs...

Meg's HotShine aerosol (non-foam)

+1 to Zaino

I like spray cans... the optimum is to narrow of a spray goes where you dont want it.. it is lasting nice though drove through rain and tires still glossy.. I like a spray that is nice and glossy not dull.. thanks for the tips might just go back to some chepo meguires from autozone

1Z Einszett Tire Foam works very very well and i will continue to use it for a long time. 1 coat is a medium gloss, 2 for high gloss

Meg's High Endurance. Doesn't sling or have that "someone just spooged on my tires" look.

Smells like grapes, too.

The nozzle on the Optimum stuff has both a "Spray" and a "Stream". Make sure you are on Spray. You should get a much wider spray pattern.

this stuff works great when applied with a foam applicator.
just spray it on the applicator then apply
never slings and dries quick

+1.:rockon: Very easy to find in stores. doesn't spin off my tires onto my paint EVER!
Most BS says it wont spin off and it really does. Good gloss too. smells like grapes.

I've used a few and the Gels are my favorite.
