Tire shine - Page 3

It's kind of funny that what one likes others don't. Like the Meguairs Endurance (I happen to love it and it is less than $10). So many different products being used with differing opinions. I my case the car is garaged and not driven in the rain very often, so there is that.

I use 303 on everything it is made for, not a big fan of shiny tires.

Dealerships and detail places use Technicians Choice and Scotch Plaid. Anyone found where to buy those at, without having to buy a 55gal drum?

ZAINO for tires or 303 PROTECTANT will leave a nice satin black finish and will not fling off.

Back in the 1980's westley's bleche white made an aerosol silicone tire spray that was an excellent product. It must have worked too good because I have not seen it in years and black magic bought out westleys.

I can't recall the specific brands that I use, but I have my favorites. I typically prefer the spray (liquid) vs the foam or gel. It is easier to put on (I spray onto a foam applicator) and doesn't get all over the rims. The key is to start with CLEAN, dry rubber for application.

Surprised not one person mentioned Trinova. Not cheap but wow

Dura dressng.
Applied in two stages, stage one is cleaning with their tire cleaner. Stage two is to apply the coating. Dries to the tire similar to a ceramic coating. Best stuff i have ever used.

Me also. Not a fan of glossy looking wet tires that fling all over.

This, period.

Chemical Guys VRP applies quickly with sponge, has no sling, and the shine isn’t over the top.

Hmmm. I'm the odd man out. I don't use anything, not a fan of glossy looking tires.

SirJangle · 10-21-2020, 07:16 AM

No matter what product you use, I find that the best way is to spray the product on an old towel (enough to make it damp) and then wipe down the tires with it. They shine nice and there's no splatter.

They don't have to be glossy, but I agree that the glossy can be too much. You can simply make the rubber a rich black. I think many times an undressed tire can "ruin" the look of a nice, clean, vehicle.
