Tire shine question

DropTopKingM3 · 10-01-2014, 03:38 AM

Hey guys, I'm having a problem getting my current tire shine to stick. My M3 has some negative camber in the rear and I apply tire shine to it and can't seem to get it to stay on. I've even let it dry for 24 hrs and as soon as I pull away its gone. The front tires maintain the tire shine well but can't achieve the same results in the rear.

I have continental DWS tires.

Thanks in advance.

You need a tire gel. My GF has the same tires. Shines well after treatment. There are either shiny tire gels or Matte tire gels. I use the matte tire gels because shiny is too obnoxious for my uses. I like having the tire look clean and well conditioned as if it were new. Also, tire gels won't sling off of the tire and should remain for a few washes. Amazingly the stuff is on there really good.

in my experience conti's are the hardest tires to get tire dressing to stick on. I have tried just about everything on them. unfortunately we have found nothing.

Espuma RD50 or Gtechniq T1 work well on Conti's
