whats the best tire shine product out there? ive been using black magic tire shine, but lately it seems like its not nearly as shiny as it used to be. what does everyone else use? thanks!

 

I've used a lot of different products, and Black Magic has always been my favorite. Haven't found anything that looks as good as it!

 

Vinylex. It's made by the same folks that make Lexol Leather Conditioner. Also a product called 303 Protectant which is usually sold out of boat stores or if you are an old car guy You can get it from Year One. I like these because they are silicon based and not water based which tends to bring out more "bloom" in the tire itself thereby drying the tire and shortening it's life.

 

If you have any of the white showing getting a smooth rock and rubbing over the white (while wet) is a cheap fix.
Depending on how dirty they are it can require a bit of elbow grease.

 

I'll second the 303 Protectant. It's expensive but it is good stuff. I use it on my bumpers, etc.

 

these days I use dog piss and dirt on my rig...but vinylex works good on my wife's blingin mini van

 

haha. priceless

 

i use meguiars extended tire shine or whatever its called...works great and lasts for awhile even through moderate rain..but salt well thats another story

 

I use Eagle One

 

For Matte finish:
Dupont Teflon Tire shine
Poorboy's Bold n Bright Tire dressing

For a wet look:
No Touch High Tire Shine (available in bulk @ costco)
Eagle One Wet Tire
Meguiars Hot Tire Shine

Just be sure to let your tires dry completely b/f driving off, otherwise you may get sling.

 

I really like tire wax products....Turtle Wax makes one. Rub it on, rub it off. and it last for weeks. Even in rain.

 

black magic tire wet is awsome!

 

I like Meguire's Endurance sine I only need to apply it about every three weeks and it dries quickly so dust doesn't collect on 'em.

 

I use Armor All Extreme? Red label.

 

Eagle one...or Jet--both great products

 

I dont like the super shine, I use Meguires #40

 

I'll second that. I prefer the dark, clean rubber look. Armor All appears to have brought back its Low Shine formula. Bought some at Target last week. If you prefer a high gloss look, Armor All's Tire Foam works excellent, especially on the sidewalls of all terrain tires which can be difficult to cover with a sponge/cloth. Spray it on and let it work. No rubbing.
