what tire shine do you use

[Bushguts]

i havd tried most of em out there and i seem to like the meguires endurance tire spray. i spray it on a rag so i dont get overspray on my car and i wipe it on. it doesnt sling although it doesnt give me that deep shine im looking for.

lets see what you guys use and why

I use the Black Magic spray from the can. Its easy to apply without over doing it and dries in 15min.

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. No sling at all, provides a deep shine. Remember, half the battle is getting the tire as clean as possible before applying the dressing of choice. Otherwise whichever you use isn't going to adhere to the rubber as well.

Same for me. Been using Opti-Bond for awhile. Never found another shine that is as good as it.

I too am an Opti Bond fan boy. Dilute and spray on a foam applicator and spread. You can use a paint brush instead of a foam applicator if you desire. Buff to your desired gloss. Layerable if you want more shine. Doesn't feel greasy, last's a while, and doesn't seem to attract much dust or dirt. As mentioned by Torch3D, the key is in the prep. Scrub the tires with a good brush and a good cleaner to make sure all the dirt and old dressing are removed.

+ 1 to Opt Tire Bond. I also use it to coat the inner fenders. Then again, I also like CarPro PERL. Either one you works great!

Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss

Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance gel

Was using Armor All Extreme Tire Shine cus it goes on and it just crazy black.

Then I tried to wash it off the tires and ruined 3 brushes in the process. I haven't put tire shine on my tires in 4 washes and they're still dark black and greasy.

Will go back to the 1/2 bottle of Opti-Bond I have, I think I diluted it down too much last time and it didn't work too well.

Ardex! It used to be a watery blue, now it thicker and looks a little more purple. HANDS DOWN best tire shine ever. It lasts a long time. The new one is MUCH better for not spraying on the side of the car as bad. I usually take a dirty towel and go very lightly over the tire after applied. Let it dry for a couple minutes and you're good to go. We'll see if Mooch29 or SonicBlur chime in, I let them have some and they love it too.

This, the first time I used it I applied it really heavy on accident and still had no sling.

They used Ardex and only Ardex at a Honda stealership in their Recon (detail) section where I worked at a long time ago and I was impressed with some of their products. Even their cherry scented car wash soap was pretty awesome stuff, too bad the quality of work there was beyond shitty. But what can you expect, they never see those cars ever again and most people don't take notice anyways as they are so overjoyed with their recent purchase.

Always love the look of your car, sweet lookin car. Gotta love a clean torch cobra!
