Hi everyone, I was wondering what you guys are currently using on your tires to make them shine. I'm familiar with some products, but it has been a while since I've been here following things and was wondering about the best new products or those old tried and true ones that you guys like the most. I'm looking for a nice shine that lasts and isn't necessarily a silicon base as i know that can take a toll on tires. I still use the Meguiars gel. Anyone use Shining Monkey or Poorboys (sp?)?

 

I use shining Monkey its pretty decent nothing bad i can say. Before i use Gold Class and for the same price well a dollar or two more i saw Shining Monkey and happy with its results. I like gel's better then sprays, you can control how much your actually putting on the tire and wont have any overspray etc.

 

Thanks for the input big guy. I think my neighbor is also a Monkey fan using it on his Porsche, souped up Audi, GMC HD truck and fiancee's new Audi A7.

 

for the value, i've become a fan of the Stoner products. nice quality and available and most retailers.

 

More thanks...

 

i think i have Meguires Gold Class...i stopped caring about my Sentra but now that I have my Maxima i will start caring again..It is also a gel i believe. on a side note the sprays are good for wheels if you live where they use salt in the winter...it preserves them...

 

I use a low gloss tire shine from Meguiars. I like the look alot better than the shiny look. It also attracts alot less dirt and sand.

 

i use the gel and the spray but i always apply it to a tire dressing sponge, much easier to use and you can evenly control the amount of shine and no need to worry abt cleaning up over spray on the rims

 

Amorall Extreme tire shine gel, I put some on every 4-6 months.

 

The best of the best is SHOWTIME. I buy it directly from the guy off his truck. They are based in Alabama & have the BEST car washes/wax/tire wet there is hands down.

i stopped using tire shire it ruins a freshly detailed colored car cause of the sling

 

i use gel and apply it at night because by the morning it is soaken in and there is no sling to wipe off and it last so muck longer then sprays and has a shinier finish thats just my opinion

 

Has anyone used Adam's Super VRT? I'm looking for a water based product that doesn't give an extreme shine.

 

Pretty good stuff...Last very long

 

I use Meguiar's HotShine tire coating or, if I can find it, Meguiar's NXT Generation Insane Shine tire coating. They're both aerosol sprays - no sling from either.

 

I use Zaino Z-16, and it doesn't sling up on the car at all.

 

I use Black Magic Tire Wet. What I've found over the years is I use a typical car wash sponge. Cut it in half, I use one piece for application of product to the tires and the other half I use for the dash. I spray the product on the sponge and apply it that way. This gives a really bright shine or a just enough shine depending on what look you are going for. I use the other half to use on the dash.

 

I use Armour All tire shine gel type. Holds up good in rain and stuff

 

Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel. Gives tires a deep lasting shine.
