All opinions and experiences are welcome. I've used tons of things and still haven't found what I would call the best one. How can we know which ones do NOT contain silicone, too. I know to stay away from that stuff, but does anyone have a list of products that do NOT contain it? I remember years ago my friend used Crisco oil (the stuff that looks like lard and is used for cooking)on his tires. It actually lasted a long time and shined pretty well...lol.

 

Try poorboys bold and bright

 

Is it available at most local stores like Adv. Auto or Strauss?

 

thats the stuff i use... dunno if there is silicone in it? should i stay away from silicone?

 

And no, you won't find it locally

 

You wanna let me in on where I can find the Poorboy's? Not familiar with the stuff.

I like Sonters, less time-more shine. Nice stuff. Dont use it in the wind though. If you can, put in on somewhere enclosed if possible. little dots of it fly all over the car and then you have to rewipe the whole car again. But all in all its a good product

 

Turtle Wax Tire Wax. It's a cream thats applied with a foam pad. The stuff produces a nice wet shine, doesn't fling off and lasts a few washes too.

I've used this stuff. It works pretty well, and you are right, it does NOT spin off. Guess I'll stay with it.

 

The best product I've found for tires: Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel. Put it on dried/cleaned tires, let it sit 10 min., put on another coat, and you're good to go for about three weeks. Don't get it on your paint though.

P.S. - I had to special-order my last bottle from Meguiars (because Target stopped selling it down here in FL) for about $10 a bottle....I use liberally every two weeks and one bottle has lasted about 6 months so far. PM me if you want to know anything else.

If you hit the Meguiar's wb site they are selling the stuff for $6.99 a bottle. I may look into it since I've always been a Maguiar's fan.

 

black magic spray works well for me...

 

armor all gold glass, tire foam, easy to put on, cleans tires as well and lasts a week or two

 

I would go with turtle wax tire wax also. I use it a lot I can't find it in a lot of places but it gave me a sine that had people stoppng me to ask me what I did to my tires.

 

i use the same stuff. i find most any type of gel or cream is better than a spray

 

16 oz
$9.95

32 oz
$15.95

Gallon
$39.95

Ouch, kinda pricey. I typically just buy whatever is least expensive at Auto Zone ~$4.99.

 

Turtle Wax Tire Wax.... very good CHIT!!

Ive heard some really good stuff about this product. Its probably one of the best and easiest to use.

 

[QUOTE=Doc]2nd that, best thing out there

 

LOVE LOVE Mcguiers Endurance....plus smells like grapes and makes your garage smell like a grape field..

 

Meguiars High Endurance regular gloss with Eagle One tire swipe.

I love this stuff and can be a mess if youre not careful.

 

use the meguiars goop stuff, you get no silicone over spray on your car and i think it lasts longer

 

i third this,,,,its great stuff...allthough never used it on my maxima tire, ive used it on my 35 inch super swampers before and its some good shiat! laster awhile, and made an ugly tire like purrdddy........oh yea and spring, ive seen the product in either advance or autozone or maybe walmart....for next time so u maybe wont have too buy it for 10 bucks.... ill let u know when i go too buy it, which will be soon..i dont like my spray shinen ow ....gels rule!

 

best thing about the Mcquiers Endurnace is it smells like grapes....MMmmm

 

screw the smell, go for the Black Magic Spray (it in the clear bottle and the stuff is clear too). its not the aerosol (sp?) type but the pump kind. it doesnt spin off and its a nice clear, deep shine. the foam crap is just that, crap. flings off and gets all over the place.

 

Ive used the Meguiars aerosol stuff and its my favorite so far. Lasts for weeks and gives a nice shine.

 

I use the meguiars insane shine NXT stuff, but my friend works at the nissan dealership, and said that shining monkey is off the hook. so i ordered that, and ill give that a whirl. I also like the Armor All Detailers Advantage tire shine.

 

what meguiar's aerosol stuff??

 

they make Hot Shine, or NXT Insane Shine

 

Hot shine is what I use. It has a nice adjustable spray pattern to adapt to the tire sidewall height without spraying allover the wheels.

 

any links to turtle wax tire wax? Cant find it anywhere.

 

I've searched but can't find any links to help you out. I bought my TW tire wax at Advance Auto, though.

 

I like to use a product that will work for both vinyl and rubber. I have had good luck using Lexol Vinylex and 303.

 

I've used 303 over the years. It is good stuff. I found it to be the absolute best on my toneau covers for my trucks. It really protected them and kept them black.

That's the only thing I use on tires now. This is how it looks...

Before/After:

 

i just got my shining monkey, and i love it. Paul, whatever happened to your 2k2 rims you got?

 

I sold them. I'm looking into getting a different car. I've been living with my accident damage for too long. I like people to look at my car because of the excellent paint condition, not because of the dents.
So hopefully by the end of July I'll have a "new" car.

 

what car are you going for?
