Best tire shine?
Just tryed , and it worked great.
![]() It was much better then the Turtle Wax stuff I have been using, seems to have a long lasting effect. What do you guys think of Gold Class Endurance High Gloss tire shine from Meguiar? |

I've been using the Armor All Extreme Tire Shine Gel for the last couple of weeks and I've been pretty happy with it. Easy to use and you don't have to wait as long for it to dry.

My favs:
Megs Insane Shine for folks that like crazy wet, lasts about a week. Zaino Z-16 for the mid range wetness guys; lasts the longest of any tire shine I've used by a long shot. 303 for guys who like the matte/clean tire look; lasts about 2 weeks. |

A good habit I'm in to prolong dressing life is to keep it dry. After your wash take an old towel and dry your tire sidewalls off - don't just let the tires air dry. I even pull into the garage after driving through rain and do the same thing.

Hows the fling on Black Magic? I've been using Meguiar's insane shine and it is lasting and has great wet look but the fling is constant. Wipe a fender, take a drive and it's back once you get home.
Yeah, definitely let the tire dry for a couple hours before applying- makes all tire dressings last way longer.

Clean tire with Griot's Rubber Cleaner solution on Mr. Clean Tire Magic Eraser. Wait 30 seconds. Wipe the tire dry. Then after I go around and finish the other tires (about 10 minutes later) I apply the Black Magic to the tires. I then wait at least 2-3 hours before driving anywhere and I get no "fling." |

I found that BLack magic is simply too thick and crap starts to stick to it very easily. Originally i used this stuff called Royal Shine, it was fron a company out of Mass, but i havent been able to find it so i went and picked up some Meguires Tire Shine, its purple and in a squeeze bottle. the stuff is awesome.

Have seen Meg. Tire Shine product on shelves. Any fling probs? (black splash on fenders behind tires.) Again, I love the NXT Insane Shine but it does fling pretty bad. I beginning to think they all do in hot weather.
