I've used everal type of tire shine products over the years. My biggest complaint is that none seem to stay completely on the tire. Half of it seems to land on the side of my truck. I don't like a super glossy look. Just a nice simple shine. I even wipe off the excess with a towel to make sure I get the look I like. What do you all use? and what do you do to keep it all on your tires (not on the side of your truck)

 

I use a black and green can from autozone, i think its called extreme wet, or shine, lol, been buying it for a couple years, its funny i cant remember the name, but it will have a supra on the front, works great. i spray, let soak for a few, then dabb with a towel. stays shiny and doesnt end up on my bed or doors.

 

Black Magic Matte tire shine. Not shiny, but gives it that velvety black new tire look.

 

Be careful as to what you put on your tires! Most all products contain petrollium products and they will eat your tires. It's like spraying your tires with solvent. They will dry the rubber out and cause cracking on the sidewalls. I like to you an Eagle product because it's water-based. I think mothers has a water based product too but not sure. Just my thoughts.

 

Yea I've actually used both types of products. I still end up with the same outcome. I can't remember what I used a few years back. It was water based, it worked good, then they stopped making it.

 

Will it stay on your tires???? And not on the side of your truck

 

not to many people actually scrub clean there tires with a brush and an all purpose cleaner which is the key, and then i put tire dressing on. i use adams all purpose cleaner and his vrt ( vinyl rubber and tire dressing) which works awesome not to shiney , just looks clean. also its water based not silicone so it wont collect dirt like other dressings.

 

the best tire shine i have found is from dollar tree, im dead serious. it gives a real dark flat look, not all greasy looking.

try it, you will be surprised how well it works.

 

Trick you can use is to pat down the tires after 10 or so minutes. It's REALLY easy to over-apply a tire gloss, even if you're careful.

Wiping or patting down gently will also give the wheels a more matte look, over a wet glossy one.

 

Never found any flung anywhere on the truck.

I usually spray it on pretty thick, let it sit for about 5 minutes, and go around with a rag and rub it in/remove excess.
