Yeah members on this site are great. I don't think I've ever made a thread that has less than 20 replies.

 

^^ Thats what Im using, got a sample of it from somewhere and liked it so I bought some. Goes on very easily and its a gel so it doesnt drip everywhere, or fling off. And it has a milder shine than the "oily" look that some others have. Probably switch to something from Meg's once its done tho.

 

The Zaino Z-16 tire Gloss is the best I have used. It leaves a satin like finish and lasts about 2 weeks. I don't like the shiny wet look either, that is why I went with the Z-16.

 

How about a good setup that is easy to apply with lowered cars? I was using the Eagle One applicator crescents but now i cant get the top of the tire since there isnt much room in my wheel well. Any tips?

 

Above is the untreated tire.


Above is the tire wiped with Mothers Back to Black three days later. It doesn't shine, but it is a deeper black than the untreated tire.

 

Meguair's Gel w/ the rubbermaid tire coating applicator!

They sell it at Target (around here).

 

Stoner's... I use their trim shine, invisible glass, and tire shine. They make great products for enthusiasts. Their tire shine lasts a long time too. Water proof, UV protection, and prevents discoloring. Best thing, you don't need an applicator. I always get comments about my tires, I just tell them that the last time I put on any shine was a month ago

 

Over-the-counter vs what? Prescription?

 

 

black magic..and a 2" paint brush to apply.

 

+1!

It really does smell like grapes haha

I bought a brush from Autozone to wash my tires/wheels (only on those surfaces, I wouldn't dare to use that brush on my paint) during every car wash. I just scrub down the tires at the end of my car wash with whatever soap/water is left and it leaves them looking nice and clean. If I want to get them shined up then I use that Meguiars Endurance Gel with some latex gloves like someone said above because that crap get's everywhere (especially after you use the applicator a few times).

The Meguiars one is nice because it's not obnoxiously shiny but good enough to look sleek. And as per the instructions, if you want to shine them up a little more, apply another coat

 

Guys!

This is the best spplicator available...end of story!

 

That looks cool...where can you buy that?

 

Wow, I havn't seen that before either, looks great compared to the regular black/yellow foam only applicators!

 

It makes the whole process so much easier and you get excellent coverage too.

I used to do the whole latex exam gloves, foam applicator nonsense too.

I bought that thing at Target but you can buy it on Amazon too.
