Tire Shine
 

I'm really OCD about my tire shine, I really love a good lasting tire shine on my car. I was just curious which tire shines you guys prefer and think are the best?? Foam/Spray/Gel? What brands you prefer? I was using meguires tire foam but I wasn't too happy with it. I tried Armor All Tire Gel and its been holding up pretty well.:tiphat:

Thanks again everyone!

EDIT here is the link to the Amor All Tire Shine

I haven't seen that one at any local stores. Where do you buy it at?

K mart& Walmart.

Alright after my Armor All Tire Gel finishes Ill give it a try. How much did it run btw? 5 or 6 bucks?

You haven't stated your qualifications for tire shine. Some people like very shiny, some don't, and some like a natural look. But no matter as you can find all your answers here: Detailing Bliss: Wheel Wells, Rims and Tires

Thanks! btw I like the wet shiny look! :)

You're welcome. If you resided in the SoCal area I would say head over to the Chemical Guys as you could try their products on the spot, and they're a pretty generous group to begin with. When you do find the one you like you might consider buying it in the gallon size or larger as it is much less expensive that way. :tup:

P.S. If ever do decide to purchase something from the Chemical Guys, follow them Twitter: Chemical Guys as that's where they list discount codes.

For a long lasting, but potentially messy, shine, get the BLACK MAGIC TI (Titanium) series tire GEL wet... Don't use the foam. It's dumb. The spray is good (I use Black Magic Ti spray as well) as well, but it will last about half the time as the gel. The only problem with the gel is that it is a biatch to get off, and when it slings, it can get messy. You just have to get used to using it/know how much to use. That's my recommendation.

Spray

Gel

Not to mention that the car on their box is a 350Z ;)
The gel makes the tires super wet/shiny. It's not an average little sparkle.

Meguirs NXT Tire Shine (spray bottle & Eagle 1 sponge applicator). Goes on clean, looks wet, no annoying run off if applied properly, and lasts for a very long time... IMO

Hey, what's up. The 2009 370Z owner's manual doesn't like tire dressing/shine it has
on 7-3:

"NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to
the tires to help reduce discoloration of the
rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it
may react with the coating and form a compound.
This compound may come off the tire
while driving and stain the vehicle paint."

Has anyone had any tire dressing brands causing the issues above?

I also do the NXT spray. Have not had an issue with discoloration after a year of doing so. Tires look great til the car needs a wash.

Just let it dry and you'll have no problem.

thats total bs dude:icon14: total...

Beat me to this one :tiphat:
