Hey all,

Just wondering what everybody is using for tire shine?

Looking for something with the following criteria:

• Wet/Glossy look
• Long lasting (stays even after rain)
• Minimal sling

I've used Formula 2001, and a Simoniz 'No water formula". Both are pump sprays...with average results.

I've seen a few 'gel' type but never tried it - let me know your opinions.

Thanks

 

The gel types are a bit more messy but give a better shine and last longer. Use with a sponge applicator.

 

I use the one they sell at costco, comes in a pack of 3, some times 4 with a rim shiner. cheap and works and lasts...

 

ive tried many .. armol all gel .. good for the $ but black magic tire KILLS it for only 14 bucks at Ctire .. long lasting not too wet look but nice

 

Are you talking about the foam type ones?

 

So the Black Magic basically keeps it black? But not wet?

I wish it did both...

Does the gel sling off?

 

actually it is wet . just not crazy wet .. its actually called tire wet . I''ll check the bottle in the morning .. but honestly .. bang for buck . I've had it one for a long time and even washed the Z on Sunday and I didnt have to re - apply even after a light wash

no sling after applying either

 

Best product ever is soap and water with a brush.
It will clean the tire to a matt shine ,then use a gel type dressing if wanted with a applicator and then remove the extra by wiping tire with a rag or paper towel.
it will last longer than anything including rain as it will stick to the tire and not the brown left over residue.
All sprays turn brown after rain .

 

i use Zaino Z16 tire shine. Lasts quite a while, and it doens't look ultra wet. Just a nice "clean" shine to it.

 

Shining Monkey no spit tire shine....best stuff out there right now imo.

 

That's my Red Z in the background@!!!

Yeyey'

Blackmagic is what i use, its very good.

 

lol TK . looks like us ZR owners got one more thing in common .. Black Magic FTW

 

i use Gold Class Endurance® High Gloss gel, i like it http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/produc...p?T1=MEG+G7516

 

Does this give you a really wet/glossy shine?

FYI - looks like Crappy Tire has the 'Black Magic' products on sale this week

 

Z16 is great and you can get it in Fairview, Square 1, and Vaughn Mills in the Barber's Chair as well as other great Zaino goodies.
