Tire Shine Recommendations

**dreamcatchr23** · 07-30-2008,ï¿½06:01 AM

i`m partial to 303 protectant and to poorboy`s bold n` bright... but then again, i dont go for the shiny/oily look, i prefer the matte/new tire look...

Adam`s Polishes has VRT that is great on tires -- especially if you don`t like high gloss. Water based, has `UV` protection and leaves a nice matte finish. Doesn`t last a a long time though but can be reapplied with every car wash.

I`ve used no touch for a long time (from Costco) and liked the formula in the purple can. The red can doesn`t seem to be very good.

I use Griot`s Garage Tire Dressing. Goes on easy and stays there.

Along with the applicator pads:

I went to autozone and got the black magic dressing thats a gel and comes with an applicator. It claims to have minimum "sling". Any comments on this product?

at the start of this thread several people ask you nice try a search

that apply to you black magic guestion also:

also why ask for a recomedation and then just go out and buy something totally different? it`s kind of like a smack in the face of all the people who tryed to help you

one last though....it is it less about the product and more about how you use them

they need to have the excess buffed off/in and then have time to air dry before you drive

Third (starts shiny but quickly has a matte finish) would be:

I just tried the Black Magic Matte dressing and Super Wet Gel and really like them both! I apply it the night before the customer picks up the car and it doesn`t sling at all. I have also applied it two hours before a pick up and there hasn`t been any sling at all.

I use Opti Bond as well, through a paint gun, and it doesn`t sling either.
