Re: Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)
That insane shine spray looks pretty good to me. I'll have to see if I can find it locally. I haven't seen it in any of the auto parts store around here yet, though.

I found the Megs "insane shine" today at a PepBoys - surely you have one of those around you, no?

Re: Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)
I used PB BnB on my mustang and wifes car and the tires turned brown on both. Switched to WG tire gel and love it, no sling and just enough bling for me and last a few weeks.

Here it as now after three weeks.

Three weeks after the wheel has been washed too? Wow, what do you use on your wheels? Has the wheel and tire sat in the garage for three weeks?

Re: Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)
I just tried the Megs "insane shine" in an aerosol can. WOW it really is "insane" shine. For the past few years i've been using bulk tire dressing that just makes it look clean, but this extreme shine is a nice change of pace for me.
I didn't know this was "NXT tire dressing", lol
Last time I was in the pep boys detail section (several years ago) "NXT" didn't even exist. I think Meguiars gold class was their best wax.
The NXT tire shine is no gimmick. The stuff is crazy shiny. I haven't driven the car yet, so i'll let you guys know about sling and browning, if any.

LOL! No, I haven't tried that. On occasion I have hit the brake so hard I thought my foot might go through the floor though.
The tire in the second photo has about 250-300 miles on it in the past three weeks. I just ran out and shot a pic of it for this thread and I haven't wiped it down or even touched it for the photo. It has been spending it's winter in Cape Coral, FL though, which is pretty dry and mild this time of year, (low 80 degrees). I'm sure I'd not go three weeks in Wisconsin winter weather.
This dressing really works well with these Bridgestone tires, IMHO.

Re: Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)
WOW. you are getting way better durability with Insane Shine then I did. It looked great until the first wash or rain and then it was gone. I agree it was shiny on first application but that could be toned with a wipe with a terry cloth.
