09vistablue Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 What tire shine product do u guys use ? I have tried meguairs hot shine, and armor all gel, both shine well but it annoyingly flicks off down the side doors and rear 1/4 panels of the car. Does any body have any suggestions of a product that shines and sticks, and doesn't flick. I don't think the design of the Good Year F1's help.....thanks for any advice/input....

1badshelby Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 the smooth sidewall of the Nitto's doen't do that near as much as the F1's, I really think it is the tire that is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezkill Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 The Zaino stuff..don't have the bottle at work but it's Zsomething. It's a milky liquid that soaks into the tire leaving no residue and it shines for a long time. There is nothing to spin off and it also has anti-static properties, works really well on outside trim as well. I've had the same bottle for years...goes a really long way. Edit: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/mercha...oduct_Code=Z-16 12.95, that one bottle has lasted for 2 years with the car being cleaned weekly for 6 months out of each year and plenty left. So it's good for at least 60 uses. A little goes a very long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I use Armor All's tire foam, ever since I had my old Mustang. I'll spray each rim and then go over them with an old t-shirt, to catch any drips and excess foam, and to spread it out. It still leaves the nice "clean" look, but not too wet, and it doesn't fling everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4632R Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've had success with the mothers back to black product, for those that don't like the high gloss but a natural clean rubber look this stuff is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeet Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have been using Eagle 1 Tire Swipes to apply the tire dressings. I haven't used them on the GT500 yet but have on the daily drivers. Does a nice job and no mess. I got mine at Auto Zone. Tire Swipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6-Speed Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Been using Zaino Z16 Perfect Tire Gloss on my 07 GT500 since new - great stuff, not too shiny, which is perfect. I apply it lightly with a sponge; no sling what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloyDropTop Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 http://tufshine.com/products/ This stuff is simply amazing. It goes on wet, but actually dries like clear coat paint. It is more work to put on, because you have to clean the tires first, but it seems to last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odgreen001 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 whatever product you use, just keep it off the tread...unless you want less traction on wet and/or dry road surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroodNV Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I use either Zaino Z16 or optimum Opti-Bond tire gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I've used tons of shine products and although the one's that give you that insane shine are great, it's always such a chore to reclean and reapply. I went back to a very old school kind of semi-gloss shine and it's very clean looking. I use a scrub brush with Eagle 1 All Wheel and Tire Cleaner to scrub them down well when I wash the car, then when finishing detailing the wheel I scrub the tire down again with kerosene then wipe it off with another clean cloth. If you keep your car fairly clean, this usually takes only once every half dozen to ten washes. The natural sheen of the tire is great and that keeps for weeks on end, and car show judges just love it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkShadow Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Prestone used to sell stuff in a purple aerosol can. It had a tire scrubber on top too. This stuff worked great for that clean natural look. Just spray it on, scrub really good and hose it off. The tires would dry to a nice new and natural satin sheen. I haven't seen it around in some time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I use STP Son of a Gun with Richard Petty on the can. Leaves a nice clean natural look. No insane shine. http://www.expotv.com/STP-Son-of-a-Gun-Pro...nt-16-oz/15-wcz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC5.4 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 The tire shop put some Hyper-Dressing on my truck tires the other day, really looks good. It's Meguires and you dilute it to get the natural or shine look you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb67 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've used the Zanios for awhile also have used some Poorboys dressing on the tires trick for me was to use a sponge applicator to get even coverage and to keep my excess in the sponge little bit goes along way for me.

Nothing, unless you install curb feelers and spinners at the same time. bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 The only stuff I've found that I like with the F1's is Black Magic Titanium 'tire wet gel'. The spray was resulting in the same effect as you described in the first post. But when I apply this gel with it's included applicator pad, the shine sticks and looks great.

ShelbyCobra826 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Eagle One works for me. The spray versions like to sling, no matter how long I let them dry. No fun on a black car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
