Don't use it. People have had bad experiences with it.

That $hit is garbage.. its a messy pain in tha a$$ and u can barely see the color.. I tried the blue and the silver.. Big waste of money. Black Magic Tire Wet and Armor All Extreme Tire Shine are the best and last the longest from my experience.

Anything else that lasts for a while?

I've been using that eagle tire shine thingy but like all the spray on stuff it usually lasts 2-3 days.

don't get it. it is one of the worst investments you can make for your car. you might as well just go and get paint and paint your freaking tires. don't use it!!!

Use the Meguiars Tire Gel, that lasts a pretty long time. It kinda smells like grape. But leaves the tires shiny.

I agree with Queenz, if your gonna use Black Magic, use their TIRE WET product... not the tire tint... the tint is junk... just make sure you don't get any of the TIRE WET on your rims and if you do, wipe it off right away.. and also I'd recommend if you can, to apply the stuff in the street because it will stain your driveway.

Turtle Was Tire Wax

I use Turtle Wax Tire Wax - It's a paste, comes with it's own foam applicator pad. It definately does not spin off your tires onto your car and lasts through a few washings too. It's the best stuff I've ever used. Goes on smooth, shines great and out lasts any other off the shelf "spray on" product I've ever used.

I detail cars on the side, trust me I've used them all!

Somebody already posted on here that they used the tire tint stuff and that the glitter from the tire got slung up on the car and they couldn't get it off the car or the tires. That would suck.
But, I did see in Autozone this weekend that they do make paint tint now. It's just like the tire tint but for your cars paint. I really wouldn't use that.

I also use the Meguiars. Longest lasting I've found. Takes a little bit longer to put on than the sprays but its worth it. I love that grape smell

Use the fruity smelling stuff

Just tried the meguiars Tire Gel and it works great. I put it on about a week ago. Since then I have driven in the rain foru times and washed it again and the tires still look great.

Best tire shine product I have used yet

I tried using this stuff and it stays on for weeks alright, even if you wash it'll still be there, and you be frustrated with it. Know I use Meguiars tire gel, and Black Magic Regular tire gel. Meguiars is awesome, great shine..IMHO

Meguirs is da bomb. Thought it was my own little secret, but I see others have been put onto it. The Stuff is Awesome, and will keep the tires looking good for a very long time.

Meguire's all the way.
One thing i do is scrub the wheels inbetween applications. Meguire's stays on the tire a long time, but it does attract dirt and needs to be cleaned off unless you want all that grime on your tires. just get a good scrub brush to take off old gel before applying new gel.

IF you can find it.... I would suggest to anyone to try Auto Magic's Magic Dressing.... Very expensive stuff, goes on like a spray and lasts a long time... A few local detail shops around here use the stuff and also sell it for 8 bucks per 16oz bottle. Here's a link to the Auto Magic web site:

http://www.automagic.com/dressing.htm

Here's another link where you can purchase the stuff online for 8.25 + shipping
