Its a 2+ hour job of scrubbing to get the **** off. and it also randomly blobs off the tires over time making them look like garbage. 100% avoid this. I use armorall extreme tire shine gel and it doesnt sling, lasts a long time, looks great and comes right off when you wash the car.

+1 for armorall extreme tire shine gel. Had no expectations when i bought it but said "what the heck!" good shine, easy on, easy off when washing, stays put and lasts long enough to never see my tires dull. Dont have to apply a lot to make the tires shine which is good so the product lasts a while too.

I've always used Stoner's tire shine. Cheap and available in every auto parts store. Doesn't sling if you apply it in reasonable quantities.

X2 on the Meguiars Hot Shine High Gloss Pump Spray

Spray onto a dense foam sponge - then apply

Awesome shine, long lasting and no sling.

Meguires hot-shine over aerospace 303 does the trick for me. Very happy with these two together.

My mistake, the product i mentioned wasnt made by black magic. Its turtle wax black tire coat spray. BE WARNED AND STAY AWAY. Or, buy it, use it, and i can laugh at ur dumb *** for not listening. Its like..... a thick clear rubberized clear coating you can put on. It is shiny, and it looks great......until a few weeks later when it starts to literally molt off your tire and turn a slight tint of brownish orange. "I will just take it off" you think to yourself. HA ******* good luck. It took me 2 hours, WITH an abrasive alcohol based solvent and thick plastic bristle brush to get it off, and it made a huge mess. Just warning.

I use the tire gel in the small orange bottle, i think its made by armorall "extreme shine gel" or something. Works amazing, lasts a long time and doesnt sling.

It must be armor all since its the one i use and it DOES work amazing!

careful not to let that armorall dry on your rims "accident" it creates some kind of weird film thats a little bit of a pain in the *** to get off. you cant see it, but when you go to clean your rims and you wipe over it, thats when it shows up because you can see the abrasion from wiping it. takes some annoying scrubbing to get off.

^^^what i have been using. I like it, shiny but not too shiny.

chii370 10-15-2013 07:02 PM

i have some of that in the garage, I can tell you its not even close to the armorall extreme shine. armorall lasts a lot longer too. I even have some of the meguires in a can, the foamy kind "cant remember name" and its not even as good as the armorall
