I don't like drawing attention to my cars so I like this.

Don't need no stinking tire shine...just gotta
I tried a new one today. Very impressed with the shine and even coating. I sprayed it on a applicator then wiped in on so no over spray.
Here are couple pics of the wife's ride. I put it on a few hours ago when I took this.

I've used that one in the past. It is super shiny, but leaves a sticky residue.
This is what I like now. Lighter shine and dry to the touch:
Just finished up a bottle of that earlier this year. It's good stuff.
I think I'm going to try the Turtle Wax Graphene next.
Wrong shine damn I was disappointed in this lmfao

I used to use black magic foaming tire cleaner when I had the energy to clean my cars. I always liked it and thought it did a good job but I’m no fanatic when it comes to detailing.
That’s surprising given armor all’s reputation.
Still not understanding "shiney" tires.
Like me trying to understand sparkles in the bottom of a pool - lol.
That's different. It's abalone, not a sparkle bright doll. My smoking hot milf neighbor loves it, and did it her driveway..
I used to like a high shine, but definitely no longer. Maybe 30 years ago, I used ArmorAll on my tires because I loved a deep SHINE. Then when I bought my '03 Cobra, I started using a satin shine (ArmorAll, I believe). I used it on my Callaway Camaro all the time. But over the past 10+ years, I've backed away from using any tire-shine products. I like a natural look. It helps that my last 3 cars never saw snow or rain, nor did they sit for extended periods in direct sun (my wife works with me so we use her car for daily use).
That said, the review was excellent and coupled with a lot of great additional recommendations, this thread will help folks who like to use tire dressing to pick a best product for their needs.

i like Zaino and similar just to make them darker, not really interested in making them actually "shine"
It’s actually the only thing I like on my Peterbilt. It doesn’t sling and repels dust pretty well and it’ll last a long time
My man!!!!
I've been using Zaino for many, many years. Excellent results. The more shine you use, the shinier it gets. I usually do two coats on each tire.
Stays dry to the touch and does not sling.
Good to know. I just bought more black magic but when it runs out I’ll pick up some armor all.
I've read for years that silicones are not good for tires. One might do their due diligence before using a product that contains it, and maybe AA does. My recollection thinks so, but maybe that is the foaming product.
Silicone Tire Dressings Bad!! For Tires And Paint!!!!
just wondering ive read that tires dressings that have silicone in them are bad for tires turns them brown over time. also it stains paint too. is this true? im refering to pro tire dressings from distributers. they seem like they shine real nice. i saw a post on autopia a detailer used...

Just from reading that thread, a poster wrote that there are two types of silicates used and one does not harm rubber. Now whether armor all contains the one that is harmful to rubber is anyone’s guess unless it states it on the label, which I doubt. The sds might though. That’s something to look into for sure.
