Default Tire shine

What is the best tire shine to use? I have a PPW and they all seem to come off and ends up on my car. Any suggestions?

gosh, you wouldn't believe how many tire shine i have tried. Probably about 40 diff kinds. I'll name a few of good ones on and off the counter. If you want to go to your local autozone or whatever, armor all gel works well. It's not too shiny but it def looks like you put tire shine on. If you order, i tried some of this stuff i bought from HIN, its called "Shining Monkey". It has no sling whatsoever. That's what it's known for. It gives off a brand new tire with a satin finsih. Not super greasy and wet looking. I think its perfect.

i've tried from meg, zaino, black magic, turtle wax, eagle one, aerospace, no touch, poorboys, just so many and they all have just browned or dulled out tires.

Mothers™ Back-To-Black. Use it inside and out side the car.

I use black magic tire wet gel. Use a foam applicator (available at Target or WalMart) and apply a nice coat. I have been using it for 2 months now (once a week) and my tires look great and no sling.

Here is a pic of my car after a wash BUT NO ADDITIONAL TIRE GEL since last week.

What ever you use, make sure you don't apply it to thick and If you want it to stay on your car, I would suggest applying it just before you go to bed and let it dry over night. I had a White Jeep with 35' tires and it would sling tire shine all over the place. A guy told me to do it before i go to bed and it wouldn't sling off. Been doing it ever since on all my cars and it alway's works!

Cheers

Kevin

Zaino tire shine works the best for me, not too bright but no run off!

I usually wash the car, dry everything, and then apply my tire dressing. Then I do my waxing and usually the time it takes to finish the waxing and detailing the interior gives the tire shine long enough to set.
