Best over the counter tire wet?

[ddvette9]

Walmart, pep boys, autozone etc... Best 5-10 dollar tire wet over the counter to put the finishing touches on our tires. Everything I've tried was a waste of money

This is the stuff I use...



Result:



Not the best angle, and after a day of canyon running, but still look sleek even a week later.

i like the look of this but if you have a few coats of it on it makes your tires very greasy and it does not come off all that easy. I had maybe 4 coats from 4 car washes on my tires that were on my 18's. Was dumb and didnt wash the tires each time i washed the car so there was a large build up of tire gel that to this day is not entirely off even with multiple washes without applying more gel.

I use Adams VRT it is more money but you use a lot less of it to cover the wheel then you do gel from my experience. So the VRT pays for its self

Yeah I just got some meguiars endurance and can already tell it's going to be hard to get off. Probably lasts a bit longer but I might look at getting some water-based stuff instead

I've had great results using Eagle One Tire gel. I've got a bottle of the Black Magic tire gel right now because the AutoZone I go to was out of the Eagle One the morning I needed some.

The Black Magic is much more viscous, and a bit harder to apply than the Eagle One which you spray on. I've had great results with both, and way more than just a week's worth. They actually stay nice through several washes.

Now, I prefer a drier look, so I wipe the tires down about 30 minutes after application, and end-up with a new tire look.

As far as build-up, when scrub my tires, I use a mix of Royal Purple (25%) and water (75%). I spray it on a dry tire, let it sit for about 30 seconds, and then hit the tire with a stiff brush, and then rinse. The results from this alone are pretty amazing.
