Tire Shine

[badinfluenceRS]

Anyone recommend a brand of shine?

Or is there a tire product out there that will blacken the tires?

Just put black rims on and need the tires to be darker...

I've used the armour all stuff, black magic, tire shine, and a costco brand, and the armour all gel. Of those, I would say the best would bet he armour all gel. Stuff stays for quite a while for being tire shine, and it looks real nice while it's on.

hey badinfluence, check that o2 sensor sale thread in the FS section. I want that o2 sim, but only if it's alright with you, you said something first, so if you don't want it i'll take it, but I don't want to be an *** and take it from you.

Re: Tire Shine

thanks guys...

Do any of those restore the color of the tire permanently? My tires look brown compared to the new rims :(

Replied to the thread Gr8...it's all yours, thanks for the courtesy

Back to black is for plastic.

As for tire shine, I use Armor all foam. I've tried Meguires, but it wasnt foam and it sucked. They make a foam version i want to try it.

Re: Tire Shine

Black Magic gel worked nicely for me. Seems to stay on longer than most other brands and, most importantly, the reason I use it is that it has the least spin off (you know when the black *#^^ gets on your rims?). Thats my recommendation.

Re: Tire Shine

I've tried cheapo foams with no success...I currently use some Gel (pretty expensive stuff, forgot the name...I'll try some armour all products.

Re: Tire Shine

There is some stuff I tired along time ago... its called Jet Wet or Wet Jet. You can get it at autozone but I don't think advance carries it. Anyways... It sprays on and lasts forever. One can will last you about 5 or 6 months. Thats with washing the car every week or two weeks. Best stuff I've ever used. Doesn't fly off tire onto the fender and doesn't drip or ooze.

Does tire shine stay tackey? I live on a gravel road and i dont want sand and **** to stick to the sidwalls of my tires if it does.

Re: Tire Shine

Yeah, most tire shines are kind of a grease type, so dirt tends to stick to them. On a gravel road, you are probably better off with just cleaning them. I use bleche wite to clean mine off when they are really dirty. I wouldn't recommend using it all the time though, because some say it slowly eats at your tires. Don't know i believe that either, since my dad has been using it for 30 years probably, and has never seen any sign like that from the frequent uses.

the jet wet i linked in the previous posts wasn't a problem with my gravel driveway. We have a long gravel driveway at my mom's house and the dust never stuck to the tire. Even after washing it.
