WHAT IS THE BEST TIRE PRODUCT?????
So C4President and I have used pretty much every tire dressing product out there and have not decided on a product that we like best. Most products we've used last a long time but tend to fling off and get all over our car leaving us to constantly wipe them down. I know this might be something that can't be avoided due to running camber, but we were curious to find out what our "VIP" family uses to keep their tires shiny and clean and not all over the car! Please share w/ us what y'all are currently using and/or have used and what y'all think work the best!
Thanks in advance! :biggthumpup:

I have had a lot of success with that new turtle wax ice..it seems to stick to the tire much bettter..I have tried many products that claim not to come off the tire and this one actually works. ITs more for your every day type driving..its not as glosss as a lot of other products are so if you are at a show I would deff use that New armoral comes in an orange bottle with an aplicator pad..this goes on does not appear to be glossy at first but within minutes the tires is like a mirror..(figure of speech)..but this product allthough is the glossiest I have used it comes off your tires like crazy..dont reccomend for daily driving...
Turtle wax ice = nice weekly treetment
Armoral/ other gel products = for shows only!
Alos make sure that at least 1 month you scrub your tires with commet and a brush to take the sludge built up on the tires inbetween the tread and letters on the tire...this will also help keep the tire product on your tire and not on your car *)

i don't really use any. it's kinda a waste because the shine goes away in a few days.
wouldn't it be awesome if a tire company made tires that looked it it had shiny armor all look sidewalls ? wow what an idea. =)

I use the Meguiars NXT Gen Insane Shine. Worked wonders at my previous car shows and had the highest gloss I've seen, lasts decently long enough to go through the week for me, but like all shines, it will dull out once dirt starts collecting to the shine. I've used the Meguiars Gold Class Endurance High Gloss too, lasts longer, but its not as glossy and rather thick. I use this for those times where I just want my tires to not look dry.

Im not into the super greesy tire shine look. I use meguires endurance. It gives the tires a medium shine. Lasts a week minimum under normal driving. I cant tell you how much longer after that because I never go longer then a week without cleaning it. Doesnt shoot any mess at the car either. Its a purple gel.

Ummmmm...... yea C4 president and I currently use the Armoral stuff (Orange bottle) suck ass!!!
Last for about two weeks but the moment your tires start moving it comes off all over the car. It also reminds me of jizz which is just NASTY!!!! Didn't know Turtle Wax "ICE" had a tire product! I love their product so we'll definatly be trying that out! And I only here raves about Meguiars on all their products! Does the Meguiars stay on (is it just for shows) or can it be used on a daily! I try to keep my car as clean as shiny as I can on a daily so I'm specifically looking for products that will last and not just for shows! Thanks so far! Keep the reviews coming! :biggthumpup:

I tried most of the products out there and from what I notice, the high gloss products jizz all over the car (some more then others) Try a medium gloss product. Just make sure you clean the tires and dry them before you apply and you should be good to go.

Well, i have to be the cheapskate of the bunch. $2 a can generic tyre shine. Goes on easy (spray can), and lasts ages (well it seems to). Doesnt mess up my fenders either.

Any word on that Turtle Wax Ice? I've seen how nice their wax is..not leaving any white residue behind. Saves hours in detail time.

I use Shining Monkey. It lasts for about a week, and doesn't get all over the fenders. To me, it also helps to properly scrub your tires everytime you wash the car. For that I use Westley's Bleche-White.

best stuff there is unless you're gonna go professional detail level.
I used some stuff once that I borrowed from a friend of mine who's dad details for a bunch of the local dealerships. It went on black and survived a carwash after a week of rolling daily lasted fully out 3 weeks when I washed my tires it came off a little but not fully and was still great looking. I gotta find out what that stuff is.....placing phone call as we speak.

So far what is working the best is cleaning the tire before you put the stuff on and rubbing the stuff in, instead of just spraying or wiping it on! :biggthumpup:
Thanks Guys!

Adam's Polishes V.R.T. (Vinyl, rubber, and tire). It has titanium dioxide in to give it an SPF of 55, smells great, is non-greasy, and dries nice and black but not too glossy. I also use it on my dash and door panels for a "new" but not glossy look. Works best with a foam applicator,
I use nothing but Adam's on my cars; I recently tried his Machine Polish and Wax on my GS with my Porter Cable random-orbit buffer and it blew me away. I've been detailing cars since I was twelve and I've never used a product that comes close... not Zaino, not Griot's, not even the 3M stuff can hold a candle to it for swirl elimination and deep dark shine. Amazing stuff!

meguiar's NXT in the aerosol can. before i wash my car i hit the wheels with the meguiar's hot rims and let it soak, scrub them with a soft tip brush, then i use a stiff bristle contoured tire brush to scrub the tires. then it's time for a basic wash with the pressure washer. dry with an absorber (no spider scratches and high water retention), dry wheels and tires with a seperate cotton cloth, hit the tires with a twice over of the NXT and it's done for the week. thing is, i garage my car and use a claifornia duster every other day so i really only need to wash it once a month. and surprise surprise! the NXT tire shine is still mirror finish a month later with no slung off skeet onto the paint, no dirt n' dust, and no fading. i doubt there are many products i haven't tried out at some point in time and the meguiar's NXT is superior IMO. i haven't tried the turtle wax ice tire shine though. i'll think about giving it a go.

Zymol protectant applied to a rag or foam tire dressing applicator.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIRE PRODUCT?????
I use No Touch Wet Look!! It works GREAT!!! I just spray it on and leave it!!! Usually do it at night if I'm not going out and then the next day it's soaked in and the extra has drained off!!! It does not fling off of the tires when I do it this way!! I just wipe the rims off after I spray them and let it sit over night!!!!
