I like the black magic tire foam...nice and shiny, but it only lasts about a week.

I've been using the AA tire gel and I really like it! It has a nice finish and it lasts pretty good,but it slings just a little.

I also like the Michelin tire dressing. It has a nice matte finish,doesn't sling,and lasts a pretty good while.

I have a bottle of Hot Shine gel in a gift pack that I got for Christmas,but I still have plenty of the above two products. I also want to try Z16.

My personal favorite is Allbrite - V6 premium tire dressing

Only found at detail supply outlets (usually wholesale)...

less is more IME, and work it in pretty good. i use the leaf blower after to blow any leftover water/dressing out of the tread, etc...

I use one stream of the gel per tire, and I wipe one time. Less is definitely more with the AA gel. One bottle should last forever!

I've used Z16 and liked it, but I'm guessing that you like shiny tires. I like Meguiars Hot Shine (I've only used the kind in the spray bottle...non aersol) but I will get the gel when I run out. The last couple details I have done have requested no tire dressing, so it looks like it will be a while before I need to buy some.

Meg's Insane Shine. Applied three weeks ago and it still looks 80% as good as when just applied. No sling at all and a high gloss shine. Absolutely no browning on my tires either. Not greasy so it doesn't attract dirt and dust. After washing all you need do is wipe the tire dry and the shine is still there. This is one of the best best tire sprays I've used.

That stuff looks pretty good.

No sling at all?

Can you buy that stuff over the counter?

jfelbab · 02-16-08, 12:42

Never slings for me. I have a fairly light colored car and it would show up easily. I apply it quite thinly and wipe the excess from the tire sipes well though. I also let it dry for an hour or two before driving off.

It is an OTC product.

Well I just finished a gallon jug of my normal stuff, I think i'll go check out the local store and try out the "insane shine" as it does look insane in that photo.

Is that photo when it was applied or 3 weeks after applying?

When it was applied. After three weeks the gloss has tamed down slightly but the tire still looks freshly dressed.

Here it as now after three weeks.
