Tire shine help?
 
I'm looking for some input on what tire shine you guys use. I tired a sponge applicator one but it made my tires disgusting after about a 2 days and that stuff is impossible to get off. It gets dusty here in Texas...so is there a shine that doesn't attract dust? lol
Thanks

Rather than using the heavy silicone, I use Armor All's tire foam....it may not be as shiny but it doesnt cake up, is easier to apply, and doesnt spin up on the car when driving. Give it a shot!

:iagree:good stuff!

Try poor boys tire dressing. It dries quickly and is not sticky. It's also water based which means it doesn't stain the paint and comes off easily.

I use Adam's VRT. It goes on clean and doesn't splatter. It also "dries" so it doesn't soak up the dust so easily.

I use Meguire's. The BEST for overall car care.

I have found the best tire product is Zaino. Granted it does not give you that wet look but it makes the tire look like new and you can drive it through water/rain and it will still look like it was freshly washed. I applied it two months ago and granted I dont drive everyday but she is not a garage queen either and the tires still look fresh. Zaino is the easiest and best product I have used. For those that dont know Zaino is a synthetic.

I just pee on it.:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Seriously any of the foam you spray on it works great.

I have found that some of the foam spray has stripped the protective coatings of some rims in the past. others leave a residue on the rims.

Yeah you have to be careful just stick with the name brand companies and you should be OK.:tiphat:

I personally apply 303 Aerospace Protectant on clean tires with Adam's VRT Super Block Dressing Applicator.

You'll get many different suggestions; up to you on what products you'll end up using that work for you.

I started usign this a few years ago on all 4 of my cars and am extremely happy with it (and I have tried a huge number of products over the years).

Meguiar's Direct Hot Shine™ Tire Gel Kit

The trick is to ensure you wipe down the tires after you allow it to sit on the tires for a few minutes.
