What tire shine is best?

[TedR719]

I usally use what ever I can find but I mainly use Eagle One in the spray can. What is the best one that will last and not throw the shit on the car or wheels?

Zaino Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss.

It is the perfect finish for my tastes. It doesn't make them bling, just a nice clean "new" look. Doesn't sling shit all over either.

Where can you buy Zaino products other than their website?

Http://www.zainobros.com ---Now they have online ordering too.

I don't think there is any local dealers. :confused:

303 Aerospace Protectant leaves a nice dark matte finish.

Lexol Vinylex leaves a little more gloss.

One Grand ERV a bit more gloss still.

Klasse Vinyl, Leather, Rubber and Plastic Cleaner and Protectant is the dullest and darkest. It seems to absorb into the tires.

With the first two, you will need to wipe down the tires after the product has absorbed. The One Grand may also need a little wipe. The Klasse is dry in seconds without wiping.

All four offer UV protection.

I've been using the Meguires stuff for quite a while now..easy to use and lasts for a while. I always worry about things that I dont have a proven track record with, of course, I used to be ignorant "I like to use Armor All" on my tires type. Destroyed 2 pairs of tires with that shit before realizing how worthless it was. Ah well..at least I know better now that I have a real car right?

I also use the Meguires Endurance stuff. That stuff smells good!

in general the gels will last longer than the sprays. There is a tire product that is now very very hard to find. But if you happen to come across some Turtle Wax 2001 Tire Gel (only TW Product I recomend) go ahead and pick it up. If you end up not liking it I know a guy that will pay you $20 for the rest of the bottle.

Super dress all from Automagic works very well when cut right. You can pick it up from car and truck accesories, but I get it from work. Meguiars Endurance is pretty good too, and for that quick in-a-pinch show car gloss Black Magic spray works well.

I second Zaino Z16. I love the stuff.

Here is Z16 in action (applied, let sit over night, then wiped it down in the morning, no sling, just a nice satin sheen.)

Really puts the finishing touches on a nicely detailed car. I hate it when I see really plastic like looking tires on a car that was just washed. The tires are supposed to compliment the car (along with clean and black wheel wells) not detract from it.
