    Just leave your mouse cursor over a color for a few seconds, and it changes....I would still like to see some pics. My car is red and wondered what this stuff would look like red??

      Do not use this stuff, it's crap. It does NOT come off of your tires. My friend (member of this board) put some on his tires and he had to scrape it off.....it just doesn't wash off/spin off like normal tire dressings.
      Stay away from this product guys, let the ricers have it so it goes good with their green and purple neons :eek: :rolleyes:

          Well, the stuff is alright for making your tires shine, but the tint thing is baloney (yes baloney) I couldn't see any color. I didn't have a problem getting it off, but then again, my tires are covered with mud as of right now due to my gf's driveway being a small lake when it rains (its dirt driveway too, not even any rocks!)

            Do not use this stuff!!! It takes like an entire bottle to make it look like it does on the cover. Major rip-off. It looks like crap no matter how many coats you try! It will never come off either, I have scrapped on mine, and I still have this gay little sparkle on my street tires. It is a good waste of $5.

                  Hey that's what we're here for ;)

                  If you really want some good tire stuff, get Turtle Wax Tire Wax. It comes in a box and the bottle itself is green...even has a little applicator [img]smile.gif[/img] Stuff works GREAT within the shine. I left mine on for two weeks (when conditions weren't suitable for driving a car with RWD) when at college and when I came back it all soaked in. Wasn't too sticky at all :eek: Tires looked awesome for a month! :D
                  The only problems you'll have is if you put it on thick or if you don't let it set for a few hours. This results in dirty paint....
                  I'm just starting to use the Zaino Tire Dressing (Z16) and so far it is working really well. It's not all gooey and stickey like the other. It applies as a liquid but after it sets in it is completely dry to the touch. Have a couple 'coats' on before I left for college (didn't drive though) [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

                    Damn, am I the only one that doesn't hate this stuff? I think it looks decent, can't tell it's on unless the light hits it a certain way. So what if it doesn't come off easily, just means that you don't have to put on as much next time. I didn't even notice it was still there until a couple days ago. Last time I put it on was at least 2 months ago (to damn cold to clean car). Just my .02 though.
