Preferred Tire Shine Product **Poll**
I like armor all extreme tire gel. It gives a great shine. You just have to lightly apply it since it can sling on paint but it gives a great shine for a great price. I am a detailing freak and really have tried it all so before you give me the "you get what you pay for" I have bought it all and Armor all is the stand out.

When you apply the tire gel, make a little go a long way. Then apply a small amount and work that into the sidewalls. It helps to slightly moisten the sponge applicator with water so that the gel product stays somewhat on the surface of the sponge instead of being absorbed by it.
If you apply sparingly you won't need to wipe off any excess. If there is excess gel, remember to wipe off the tread grooves at the outer edges of the tire. That's the gel that you would otherwise be slinging all over your body panels.

Armor all (which I used to use) and Meguir's (which I'm currently using) work similarly for me. I do find, however, with these products there accumulates an unusually large amount of red dust (probably from the brakes, but I'm no Einstein) on the tires between uses. Anybody else notice this?

Yeah the Armor All extreme just seems greasy to me. I have been an Eagle One guy for tire shine and Wax as U Dry after a wash but I use Meguiars for waxing and leather care. Eagle Wet stayed on pretty good and looks great, but I will give the Meguiars a try.
Great thread.
I used to like with shine tires and my brand is Armor tire shine (gel). but after i realize the liquid from the shine tire it goes to the body and specially your car run fast and on raining day your car gonna be look like so many black dots. i hate it
Tried quit a few different ones, including Black Magic, and I would now swear by Meguiars'! Their Endurance tire shine is simply INCREDIBLE! It smells really good, leaves a great shine, and isn't as irritating on your hands as Black Magic is. Their sprays are also equally as impressive in their abilty to shine, and all seem to last a week. Concidering I wash my car every week, I just toss it on afterwards, and it works out fantastic. Endurance actually lasts up to 2+ weeks so I am very impressed!
I have used Stoner's More Shine Less Time for years. Once around for matte. Twice around for shiney. You can mix and match it by the case direct with Stoner. Other products are Invisible Glass, Trim Shine, etc.

I love the fact that you can adjust the wideness of the spray pattern which helps to eliminate that annoying overspray, even if it's windy out while you're doing it.

, what product do you recommend for not picking up dust.






















Much better than the spray on crap.
